Prevent pollution from your site

The Environment Agency states that the management of drainage systems should be one of the top ten environmental priorities for all sites. Their guidance (see PPG1) together with EPR permits and Environmental Management Systems all require that drains are clearly marked. However the use of spray paint is far from appropriate at many sites as it wears off rapidly and leads to pollution of the very surface water drains that need protecting.

Our drain markers are a cost effective and time-saving way to permanently identify drainage systems and will help to ensure that polluting substances and effluents are directed to the appropriate drain. Drain marking will help to remind your staff of their responsibilities and by preventing pollution of surface water sewers could save your company thousands of pounds in clean-up costs and fines.

A range of highly visible stock drain markers (1.5, 2.5 or 4 inch diameter) are available for industrial uses.

They are supplied with the DuracastTM finish which provides excellent protection against chemical and mechanical abrasion as well as U.V. resistance.

The larger markers (2.5 and 4 inch) are ideal for applying to the faces of kerbs when marking gully pots. Alternatively they can be applied to walls or other flat surfaces when marking manhole lids or other services and utilities.

1.5 inch markers are also available and are designed to be applied to manhole lids and other locations where the larger markers are impracticable.

We have supplied our marking system to companies in a wide range of sectors including power generation and distribution, engineering, transportation, food and drink manufacturing and pharmaceuticals as well as to the public sector.
