Full Drainage Maintenance & CCTV Survey at Princess Alexandra Hospital Harlow

Project Overview

FCDrainage.com was engaged to carry out comprehensive drainage maintenance and inspection works at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow. The project covered full drainage cleaning, Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM), reactive call outs, and CCTV surveying to maintain reliable drainage performance for the hospital’s critical operations.

Project Requirements

As a major NHS hospital operating 24 hours a day, Princess Alexandra Hospital required a
proactive and responsive drainage management solution. The key objectives included:

  • Scheduled full drain cleans as part of a PPM strategy.
  • Rapid response capability for emergency drainage issues.
  • Full CCTV drain surveys to monitor system condition.
  • Clear reporting and recommendations for ongoing maintenance.

Our Solution

FCDrainage.com implemented a structured drainage management programme tailored
specifically for the hospital’s operational environment:

  • Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM): Regular high-pressure water jetting was
    carried out throughout the drainage network to remove build-up of fats, scale, and debris, ensuring free-flowing systems.
  • CCTV Drain Surveys: Comprehensive CCTV inspections were undertaken to assess the condition of the pipework, detect any developing issues, and support long-term
    maintenance planning.
  • Reactive Call Outs: Our rapid-response teams were available around the clock to attend any unforeseen drainage emergencies, minimising disruption to hospital operations.
  • Comprehensive Reporting: Detailed inspection reports and service documentation were provided to the hospital’s estates team for full transparency and future reference.

Challenges Overcome

All works were carefully scheduled to minimise any impact on patient care, staff movement, and hospital services. Our experienced team worked closely with hospital management, adhering to strict health and safety, hygiene, and operational protocols while maintaining efficiency and discretion.
