Trust us to keep your road drains, street drains, and slot drains in top condition, preventing water accumulation and maintaining road safety.

Why Do Gullies Need Cleaning?

Gullies are designed to catch surface water and channel it into underground drainage systems. However, over time, sediment and debris can accumulate in sediment traps and under grate covers, leading to blockages. These blockages can cause serious problems, including flooding, clogged pipes, and even structural damage to roadways. Flooded roads pose significant hazards to drivers and passengers, creating dangerous conditions and leading to a range of issues associated with excess water. Regular road gully cleaning and maintenance are crucial for preventing debris build-up, and ensuring that your gullies remain clear and functional. By addressing blocked gullies promptly, you can avoid future blockages and maintain the safety and integrity of your roads.

How are Gullies Cleaned?

Despite the size of a gully, HCL ultimately follows the same procedure to effectively deal with them. First, an initial inspection is conducted to assess the extent of the blockage and identify any hazards. A CCTV drainage survey may be used to inspect the internal condition of the drainage system. Large debris is manually removed to allow a more thorough cleaning. After, high-pressure water jetting (HPWJ) is used to dislodge and break up remaining debris, silt, and sludge. Our powerful tankers are used to suck out the dislodged debris and water to ensure all waste material is efficiently removed. HCL engineers double-check after the tanker to ensure the gully has been efficiently cleaned, cleared, and functioning correctly. Lastly, water testing is conducted to ensure there is no other contaminants.
