Drainage Jetting & CCTV Camera Survey - Echo Square Services Ltd

Echo Square Services recently completed the drainage jetting and mechanical cleaning of a concrete rainwater tank and its associated blocked pipework in the basement of a multi-story building in Kensington.

The building is currently an active building site due to the entire property undergoing a full refurbishment converting it from a residential dwelling to a high-end hotel.

Therefore, safety was of paramount importance while working in close proximity of other contractors.

Full confined spaces entry was required into the water tank ensuring our pipe jetting works could be carried out safely.

Why was drainage jetting required?

The existing concrete water tank was installed over 40 years ago and required extensive cleaning and jetting prior to it being repurposed.

The existing blocked pipework lines had numerous concrete deposits which required removal utilising our mechanical cleaning methods.

Concrete had also solidified on the base of the tank which required mechanical removal.

Drainage jetting and water tank cleaning process

Our operatives initially drained the water tank to allow safe entry into the tank.

Pipe cleaning was then carried out utilising our water jetting method, any solidified concrete which couldn’t be removed using high pressure water jets was removed mechanically utilising specialist concrete removal tools.

Once our operatives had unblocked all pipe work, we then completed the water tank clean, which involved removing all loose concrete and excess solidified concrete from the water tanks base.

Pipe CCTV camera survey

To highlight the progress of our works we completed a pipe camera survey of all pipework leading into the concrete tank.

All findings were compiled into a full completion report which included further recommendations for the customer to consider.

These recommendations included carrying out the internal pipe relining to help future proof the existing pipework.

We also recommended carrying out a full water tank reline of the existing concrete water tank to provide long term protection for when it’s eventually placed back into use

We manage a large residential block and recently reached out to Echo to quote to reline two water tanks that were failing. An absolute fantastic service all round. A quote was received within a day or so. Works were booked in and communication was excellent. We were really impressed with the engineers on the day. They communicated well on the day in terms of the plan of action. Once the work was complete, they ensured all areas were left clean and tidy. A follow up report post works was sent very soon after the works.We look forward to working with Echo again. If you need honest, reliable contractors who will get the job done and to a high a standard, don't hesitate to get in touch with them.Thank you.

I contacted Echo Square on behalf of a client of mine who urgently needed her Victorian underground Cistern re lined. The work was quoted for promptly and the work carried out to a high standard by the engineers who were courteous and friendly despite their long drive to site. My client was very impressed and so grateful to have her Cistern back in working order. I would highly recommend this company and will most definitely approach them again should I have another client with tank issues in the future. 5 star service!

Having used other companies in the past I can wholeheartedly say that our dealings with Nationwide Tank Relining have been a breath of fresh air. We have had tanks relined, water hygiene assessments and floor coatings. All work was carried out in a timely manner and the quality of work has each and every time been exemplary. My bosses are thrilled with my decision to switch to Nationwide Tank Relining and a tank that was relined 10 years ago by them still looks good as new internally, and the money we've saved from choosing the right supplier has proven to be a very smart business move. Highly recommended!
