FCDrainage.com was appointed to deliver comprehensive drainage works at St Pancras and Islington Cemetery. The project involved a full CCTV drainage survey, high-pressure water jetting, new drain installation, and vacuum tanker services, all delivered within a sensitive operational environment.

The client required a complete drainage assessment and maintenance package to address
existing drainage issues and install new drainage runs to improve site-wide water
management. The works included:

- High-Pressure Water Jetting: HPWJ was carried out to thoroughly clean existing pipework, remove blockages, and restore optimal drainage flow.
- New Drain Installation: New drainage runs were installed in targeted areas to improve capacity and alleviate persistent standing water issues.
- Tanker Works: Vacuum tanker units were deployed to remove waste water, silt and debris from chambers and pipework, ensuring clean and efficient drainage systems.
