The first line
of defence.
Silt can pose a huge problem
to the environment.
Responsible construction
companies need to prevent
silt laden run-o昀昀 from
polluting local waterways.
Our system is designed to be
a 昀椀rst 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
maintenance
is required
to empty the
MuckStopper
system in
gullies.
They decided to
proactively install
MuckStopper
products across
the site as soon
as the 昀椀rst 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 昀椀ne 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 the
project is completed.
