Industrial Cleaning
Confined spaces are common in sewer and drain cleaning, and make working with hazardous substances more challenging.
Finding an experienced and professional team with the expertise to safely carry out work in such areas, from tanks and cesspits to storage vessels to trenches, is not easy. Let Envirogreen’s expert team help with your industrial cleaning.
In an enclosed space, there is a greater risk of injury or harm to health from increased exposure and a lack of fresh air. You can count on Envirogreen for safe and compliant confined space work that meets all the relevant regulations. From our base in Slough, Berkshire, we are well placed to offer this specialist service throughout the South East and across the UK.
Working In Confined Spaces Such As:
Sewers
Avoid waste build up with industrial cleaning – vital to help ensure that you meet all relevant regulations, and provide a safe and functional sewer. We can keep things clean, clear any potential blockages and tackle the heavy matter which silts up sewer pipes, keeping you in line with the best environmental practices nationwide.

Safe and professional cleaning and maintenance of tanks, containing anything from sewage to hazardous chemicals and fuels is vital. The experienced Envirogreen team are highly trained to work in confined spaces and high-risk environments, and are equipped with everything to make their jobs safe, and to carry out your tank cleaning to the highest of standards quickly and efficiently.
Trenches
Trench cleaning can be accomplished using the combined power of hydro blasting and other industrial cleaning techniques. Reducing scale and clearing out debris, a regularly cleaned trench will last for longer and keep your environment safe from the results of a buildup of hazardous wastes.
Drains
For drains to function well they need to be regularly cleaned out and cleared of obstructions. Sewer & drain cleaning requires the correct and environmentally responsible disposal of wastes and avoids the inevitable inconveniences which blocked drains entail, from bad smells and flooding to structural damage.

We prolong the life of your system through efficient flue cleaning works, reducing cost long-term and keeping any disruption to a minimum with our experienced and efficient team, working fully inline with the latest regulations.

How We Manage Industrial Cleaning
Sewer & Drain Cleaning
Untreated blockages in your sewers and drains can lead to serious and expensive damage to your pipework, as well as major health risks. They also account for 80% of sewer flooding incidents. Our team can perform a CCTV drain survey to locate your blockage, and then use high-pressure water jetting to thoroughly clean your pipes to prevent further obstruction. Our industrial sewer and drain cleaning also helps remove tree roots, which are a major contributor to blocked pipes.
Trench Cleaning
Industrial trenches can be used to catch wastewater runoff and spills, keep machinery cool and treat waste chemicals. To prevent overflow and damage to workers and the environment, waste build-up and blockages must be cleared and cleaned regularly. We use a combination of high-pressure water jetting and industrial cleaning to remove debris and eliminate scaling, allowing trenches to perform effectively.
Tank & Cesspit Cleaning
The longer tanks and cesspits hold waste, fuels or hazardous chemicals, the greater the risk of damage or contamination. Once these tanks have been emptied, our industrial cleaning team cleans sludge from your tank or cesspit before jetting surfaces for deep cleaning. This ensures the continued safe usage of your tanks and prepares them for compliance inspections.

Risks Of Working
In Confined Spaces
From suffocation and overheating through to a sudden fire or explosion, the risks involved in working in a confined space are great and varied. Each year, people are seriously injured or even killed due to a lack of training, or poorly maintained equipment, so it’s vital to make sure all regulations are strictly followed.
How Can Risks
Be Reduced?
First things first: is entering the confined space absolutely necessary? Sometimes the work can be carried out in another way. Envirogreen will assess the situation and offer the most appropriate solution. If entry is unavoidable, all necessary precautions will be followed to ensure the risk of injury is reduced, starting with an emergency exit plan to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
Legislations &
Regulations
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require that an assessment of the risks is carried out prior to the commencement of work. In this instance, the assessment would involve identifying the risks and determining what plan of action to follow. This includes the surrounding environment, the equipment and tools used, and the experience of the team member carrying out the task. Envirogreen has all the expertise necessary to carry out both the assessments and the work itself, to the highest standard.
