9 MUCKSTOPPER
Barratt Developments acquired
a 10-hectare site in Thornton
just eight miles from Liverpool
city centre and planned to
build 268 dwellings. Read how
MuckStopper protected the
drainage systems on the site
during construction.
that requires sending personnel
into confined spaces and if
the blockage is particularly
severe, needs the assistance of
a professional drain cleaning
company.
Barratt Developments wanted to
protect all of the new drainage
systems and their
workers on the site
and to prevent delays
and additional costs
to the project.
Converting a greenfield site into
a new housing development
requires the installation of all
services, drainage systems and
roads from scratch, and during
the construction process, a
tremendous amount of dirt and
silt is churned up and finds its
way into manholes, inspection
chambers and road gullies.
Open road gully gratings and
dislodged or damaged chamber
covers are no barrier to this
sediment and road sweepers
only exacerbate the problem,
so drainage systems soon become
blocked.
After discovering
the innovative
MuckStopper
range of drainage
protection products,
Barratt Developments
quickly realised the
benefits these would
bring.
Unblocking drains is a
time-consuming and
dangerous task
