Tunnel Cleaning

What is Tunnel Cleaning

Tunnel cleaning involves the constant monitoring and upkeep of tunnels that you may use – they are commonly used for transporting something such as, sewage, broadband, electrical cables and other objects. It is important to make sure that Tunnel Cleaning is always carried out. If your tunnel becomes blocked with excess water or other liquids it can potentially ruin any cabling or objects that are in the tunnel.

Here at Elliott Drainage, we operate our tunnel cleaning service 24 hours 7 days a week meaning that in the case of an emergency we are always available to help with your liquid removal and drainage needs.

Why do you need Tunnel Cleaning?

There is an ever-growing use of tunnels for essential infrastructure especially in London where space for ever growing demand is at a premium. Once installed a tunnel gives 24-hour access for installation and maintenance. Tunnels are susceptible to water ingress from a combination of groundwater and stormwater.

Although infrastructure is generally designed to withstand the wet conditions, standing water is detrimental over a prolonged period. This also leads to delays for maintenance crews being unable to access essential services. Utilities in particular are relying increasingly in the use of tunnels and Elliott Environmental Drainage Ltd is one of the leading contractors in this market. We are proud to say that we are a service provider to some of the biggest utility Companies in the UK.
