MuckStopper Brochure 2023 Q3 - Flipbook - Page 36
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.
Converting a green昀椀eld 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 昀椀nds 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.
Unblocking drains is a timeconsuming and dangerous task
that requires sending
personnel into
con昀椀ned
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.
After discovering the innovative
MuckStopper
range of drainage
protection
products, Barratt
Developments
quickly realised
the bene昀椀ts these
would bring.
