At Metro Rod, we have the skills and equipment to ensure your construction projects remain on track and free from disruption. Our expert engineers can support you with all your construction and groundworks drainage needs throughout the project life cycle, including drain repairs, pipelining and CCTV drain surveys. We’ll ensure your systems are cleaned and inspected regularly to avoid any contamination of trade effluent and keep the drains working effectively.

Construction Site Drainage Support

Our CCTV drain surveys use the latest ITouch technology so we can not only identify any blockages and assess the condition of the drains but also provide you with instant feedback and recommendations.

If a drain has become damaged, we can often repair it without excavation using our no-dig repair methods, including patch repair or pipe lining. However, if the drain has collapsed or the damage is beyond repair, a full excavation may be required to fix the problem.

Part H Building Regulations and Construction Drainage Compliance

For property developers, housebuilders, contractors and construction professionals, understanding Part H Building Regulations is essential to ensuring drainage systems are designed, installed and maintained correctly.
