Case study

We were called to attend a supermarket site in Plymouth which was suffering with a pump station failure. This had caused the pump station to overflow and the waste was discharging inside the building. We attended the site twice a day for approximately one month to supply tanker support to manage the flow whilst repairs were carried out.

Once repairs to the pumping station were ready to be completed, we were asked to supply a three man confined space team to assist with the installation of the new pumps, guide rails and associated equipment.

Mr H on behalf of the company stated:

“We have been using Aqua Rod (South West) Ltd for several years and have found them to be both very reliable & very helpful. We know that any job we give them will be completed correctly & promptly. We have never received any complaints from either our customers or our engineers, who talk very highly of them. It is good to know that whatever we give to them, we can have full confidence that it will be dealt with effectively.”
