Back to school

Lanes for Drains engineers in East Anglia got top marks for the speed and efficiency of their service as they completed full drainage surveys and cleaning programmes on two secondary schools in Luton over the summer.

'With weather patterns becoming more unpredictable and extreme, it's possible for large sites, like schools, to be at risk from flooding at any time of year,' says Mark Reed, Lanes for Drains sales manager for East Anglia.

Making sure drainage systems are operating efficiently and have the right capacity for all eventualities is essential.

Lanes St Neots deployed a CCTV video drainage survey team at each school, using HD quality robotic cameras to obtain full colour video footage of drainage systems.

Jetting teams were then deployed to use their highly powerful jet vac tankers to clean out both the storm water and foul water systems.

Lanes for Drains also provides a planned maintenance service for schools and public and commercial organisations.
