By utilising their specialised cleaning equipment and proactive approach, CCWC Services ensured uninterrupted operation of critical generators and demonstrated their commitment to customer satisfaction.

Challenges Faced

  • Recurring blockages:
    Despite recent cleaning efforts from us, the gutters in question continued to experience blockages, posing potential risks and huge costs for the client.
  • Accessibility issues:
    Some areas of the gutter system proved challenging to reach due to essential pipework and gas pipes.
  • Costly downtime:
    The client’s generators were at risk of downtime, which could have resulted in substantial financial losses amounting to £10,000 per hour for all eight engines.

Solutions and Methodology

  • All-terrain Spider lift:
    CCWC Services deployed their specialised Spider lift, known for its small footprint, allowing seamless navigation around essential pipework and challenging areas.

    In an inaccessible spot due to gas pipes, CCWC Services erected a scaffold tower with utmost care, ensuring safe access to the blocked downpipe without compromising the surrounding infrastructure.
  • Identification and removal of blockages:
    The investigation conducted by CCWC Services revealed that a piece of plastic debris, blown up from the neighbouring recycling plant, was causing the downpipe blockage.

    While on-site, CCWC Services performed a comprehensive interior clean, covering factory floors, welfare spaces, and internal pipework. This preventive measure aimed to avoid any potential downtime for the client’s eight generators.
