As the drainage company pushing boundaries in innovative service development, we have recently taken a significant leap in the advancement of Grey-Water Drainage Solutions with the acquisition of the Easy-Sight X5-HW2 Crawler Camera System. This state-of-the-art equipment, featuring a 2000-meter cable, is specifically designed to inspect large-diameter pipes of up to 4 meters from 1-2km. It employs a high-definition 2.1-megapixel camera with capabilities for panning, rotating, and zooming, combined with precise laser measurement to ensure thorough and accurate assessments. We hope this will streamline operations with clients, ranging across Kent, Essex, Sussex, and the South-East of London, including Bexley, Greenwich and Bromley ,  attending to callouts from broadband providers, public and national highways, local councils, as well as commercial and domestic clients.

This is just one part of the new equipment we have employed to maximise efficiency, along with additions to our fleet of tankers with capacities ranging across 7.5, 18, and 32 tonnes. The Crawler Camera will go a long way in improving the accuracy with which they can carry out operations, allowing us to identify issues at the source.

The system's intuitive touch control tablet interface simplifies the operation, allowing for quick and efficient inspections. This advancement not only enhances Grey-Water Drainage's diagnostic capabilities but also significantly reduces the time and labour traditionally required for pipeline inspections. By enabling more frequent and detailed checks, the Crawler helps prevent potential failures and manage maintenance proactively, minimising downtime and operational costs.

Chris Guilfoyle, managing director of Grey-Water Drainage Solutions, remarked on the new addition: "The Crawler Camera has transformed how we approach pipeline inspections. With its extended reach and detailed imaging, we can now identify issues before they become critical, ensuring continuous service reliability for our clients. This capability fundamentally enhances our efficiency and effectiveness in field operations."

With the integration of the Crawler Camera into our service portfolio, Grey-Water Drainage boosts its commitment to adopting cutting-edge technologies in the realm of CCTV surveying that enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. This investment not only fortifies our market position but also aligns with our strategic goal of delivering superior and sustainable solutions.

Grey-Water Drainage Solutions has taken a significant leap forward by integrating the versatile Cappellotto CAPVAC 3200 into its fleet. This advanced rigid vacuum tanker is engineered for the efficient suction and transport of non-hazardous sewer, storm water, and liquid waste, empowering the water drainage experts to deliver all of their services in-house to clients in Kent, Essex, East Sussex, and South-East London.

The CAPVAC 3200 features a 20,000-litre tank available in carbon or stainless steel, tailored for the safe handling of various waste types, including hazardous materials under ADR and ATEX directives. This customisation ensures operational flexibility across diverse environments – ideal for the drainage firm, who are often taken to a variety of sites in urban and rural areas. Equipped with a choice of vacuum pumps—rotary vane, liquid ring, or rotary lobe—this tanker is designed for optimal performance in any setting.

Grey-Water Drainage now features a diverse fleet of tankers with capacities ranging across 7.5, 18, and 32 tonnes. This variety allows the company to tailor its resources effectively, deploying larger vehicles for major projects and smaller ones for restricted access areas or less voluminous waste, optimising service efficiency and reducing the need for multiple trips.

Here at Grey-Water Drainage Solutions, a leading provider in the wastewater management industry, we have recently taken a significant step forward in developing and bolstering its service delivery in Kent and South East London by investing in an advanced Whale Medium Volume Combination (MVC) vehicle. This strategic acquisition marks a pivotal moment for our company, as it now allows us to deliver comprehensive in-house services that were previously outsourced, boosting our commitment to innovation and efficiency.

More Speed, More Efficiency

One of the standout features of the Whale is its ability to swiftly empty and clean roadside gullies. Equipped with high-pressure jetting capabilities, the vehicle excels in clearing gully connections and domestic drains. With its up-rated jetting system and large, hydraulically-powered hose, the machine is ideal for tackling mainline sewers and other large-scale drainage requirements.

This majorly enhances the speed and efficiency of Grey-Water Drainage’s service offerings for our commercial and residential clients, ending the need for large tanker outsourcing, which often didn't have the the same power. With this fleet update, and along with other investments such as a new drain Camera Crawler System, the company moves to control all aspects of our service provision in-house.

 A Fleet for Any Job 

Grey-Water Drainage now operates an expanded fleet of tankers, with capacities ranging across 7.5, 18, and 32 tonnes. This diversification enables precise planning for various project sizes—utilising larger vehicles for substantial projects and smaller ones for tight spaces or lesser wastewater volumes, effectively reducing the need for multiple trips.
