Recent Job: Major Drainage Excavation Following Flooding in Soho W1

Rapid Drainage & Plumbing attended a property in Soho following a serious drainage failure that resulted in flooding.

Following investigation, major excavation works were required to access and repair the defective below-ground drainage system.

Due to the volume of wastewater and contaminated material encountered during the excavation, a vacuum tanker was required to remove waste and maintain safe access to the drainage system while the works progressed.

Working in a busy Central London location with restricted access required careful planning to minimise disruption to the surrounding premises and allow the drainage repairs to be completed safely.

The works included:

• 
  
• 
  
• Major drainage excavation
•

• Drainage repair works

This type of work demonstrates our ability to manage everything from emergency flooding and blocked drains through to complex excavation and major structural drainage repairs across Soho, Chinatown and the West End.
