Defined as anywhere that normal work movement and procedures are restricted, confined spaces include places such as sewers, basements, service tunnels and pipes. These spaces are also commonly used for transporting sewage, broadband, electrical cables and other such objects. Therefore, it’s vitally important that tunnel and confined space cleaning is regularly carried out. Otherwise, excess water and other liquids could potentially ruin cabling and other objects running throughout the tunnel.
However, these confined environments can often lack oxygen and contain a high concentration of dust, making breathing difficult. It is vitally important that when cleaning and other work is required in a confined space, you hire a professional with sufficient training such as Elliott Environmental Drainage Ltd.
Here at Elliott Environmental Drainage Ltd, our team members are fully trained in working in confined spaces and have years of experience in the exact procedures and avoiding the risks involved in working in a confined space.

Working in a Confined Space
Before any work starts in a confined space, our team will carry out a thorough formal risk assessment and method statement. Without fail this will be completely specific to your site and will be used to devise an exact safe method of working. This report will also consider the task at hand, the working environments and the working materials.
Entering a confined space, however short the duration, can potentially be fatal to those without the right training and personal protective equipment. That is why our team here at Elliott Environmental Drainage Ltd will be fully equipped with all they need for the job at hand.
Why is Tunnel Cleaning So Important?
There is an ever-growing demand for tunnels, especially for essential infrastructure in cities such as London, where space is at a premium. Once installed, a tunnel will allow for 24-hour installation and maintenance access; however, they are susceptible to water ingress from both groundwater and stormwater.
Whilst infrastructure is expertly designed to withstand wet conditions, standing water will have a detrimental effect over a prolonged period, which can lead to long delays for maintenance crews, leaving them unable to access essential services.
