Watercourse Maintenance
Our operations teams deliver the routine maintenance essential for keeping drainage channels, watercourses, culverts, and pumping infrastructure reliable and effective. Core activities include weed cutting, bank flailing, desilting and the servicing of pumps and control structures. These works reduce flood risk, protect communities and agriculture, and maintain the long-term performance of critical assets. Maintenance is guided by risk-based inspections and rolling programmes of work, ensuring that interventions are both timely and proportionate. By combining the expertise of in-house engineers, ecologists, and specialist operatives, we are able to balance water conveyance with environmental stewardship, supporting biodiversity alongside effective flood management.
Ongoing maintenance and management ensures our watercourses can function effectively, while providing opportunities to enhance water quality and habitat value.
In addition to scheduled works, our teams provide a rapid and reliable incident response service to deal with emergencies such as pumping station failures, blockages, and local flooding events. We liaise closely with the Environment Agency, local authorities, and emergency services to protect people, property, and critical infrastructure. During flood events, our teams monitor sensitive locations, remove restrictions, and keep pumping stations operational to reduce risks to communities, farmland, and environmental assets.
Where incidents occur, our priorities focus first on safeguarding lives, followed by the protection of vital services and assets. We also provide post-flood remedial and clearance works to restore safe, resilient drainage networks, ensuring systems remain fit for purpose long after a flooding event.
