The 昀椀rst
line of
defence
Silt can pose a huge problem
to the environment.
Responsible construction
companies need to prevent silt
laden run-off from polluting
local waterways. Our system
is designed to be a first line of
defence against silt.
When the roads and sewers team
from M&J Evans Construction Ltd
(North West) began work at a 400unit Taylor Wimpey development site
in David Whitby Way in Crewe, they
knew the extended period of the
development project would present
challenges in terms of keeping
manholes and road gullies free of silt.
Right: Regular
maintenace
is required
to empty the
MuckStopper
system in
gullies.
They decided
to proactively
install MuckStopper
products across the
site as soon as the first
layer of asphalt had been
laid on the roadways.
Removing the steel plates
that protected the drainage
system during the asphalting
operation, they installed the
MuckStopper units in the chambers
before setting the ironwork in place
as normal.
Road sweepers are essential for
controlling muck on a construction
site, but they generate a fine slurry
that seeps through the small gaps
on manhole covers and into
road gullies. From there, it
enters the chambers and
main drains, and has to
be jetted out before
