Project Overview

FME responded within hours to standing water and flooding at a long-standing client’s Dearne Valley site, restoring the drainage system and confirming its condition.

The Challenge

Fat, wipes and general site debris had compacted within a main surface-water outflow. The blockage affected key access areas and required a fast response without compromising live-site safety.


Our Solution

Our drainage engineers isolated the affected chambers and used mechanical clearance, jetting and suction to remove the blockage. We then completed a CCTV survey and issued a detailed report within 24 hours.

  • Careful planning and preparation
  • Safe management of the working area
  • Quality-controlled delivery
  • Minimal disruption to site operations

Quality, Safety and Coordination

Every stage was managed by FME with clear communication, appropriate controls and a focus on durable, compliant workmanship.

The Result

Normal drainage was restored quickly, downstream pipework was confirmed as intact and the client received clear evidence to support future maintenance planning.
