MTS has always put safety first believing that every operative should be given the right tools to do the right job in a safe environment.

That’s why over the last eight years MTS has added to the fleet four independently run umbilical cord breathing apparatus units.

Having always practiced competent confined space entries giving training to our operatives to CP2 Level City and Guilds standards, as well as this our confined space entry teams are also trained in first aid and full rescue procedures. With a safety a first priority MTS employs a dedicated Breathing Apparatus Manager also on hand to ensure that standards are constantly maintained. MTS had developed a large group of clientele that require mainly confined space entry work on a regular basis.

Digester Cleaning, Storm Tank Cleaning, Deep Wet Well Cleaning and many trunk sewers, visual surveys can now be carried out with many of the risk being eliminated with the use of the umbilical cord breathing apparatus units.

MTS and Laing O Rourke were the preferred contractors tasked with the safe removal of 22.000 tones of Hazardous Sludge remaining on the old Victorian treatment works. With this project in mind MTS relied on its many years of confined space entry and vast fleet of vacuum tanks and super sucker tankers to clean and remove the hazardous sludge from the underground network of chambers sometimes at depths of 16 meters, this is where MTS excel overcoming all difficult and potential issues which were raised by the client.

MTS Cleansing Services completed the £3.2 million pound contract ahead of schedule and in doing so received a glowing commendation from the client.

Black Rock Wet Well is like no other, at 45 meters deep this well poses many height and access issues for the operatives to overcome. Using our deep lifting super sucker tankers and utilizing mobile cranes MTS and Southern Water combine there knowledge and experience to safely enter and de rag the one of the largest wet wells in the country on a regular bases.

You can now see MTS Ltd not only have the experience and knowledge for such scopes of work but the equipment to achieve any confined space project with confidence.

World wide locations pose problems for many companies, not for MTS Cleansing Services however. Ringways part of the Eurovia Vinci group approached MTS to CCTV survey the islands the fresh water mains supply lines on the British owned Ascension islands. Being one of the most remote locations on the planet planning and shipping all the specialized camera equipment and of course our highly trained operatives were meticulously thought though. With only two flights a week mistakes were not an option. Our operatives made the 10 hours flight from Brize Norton to the islands in the middle of the Atlantic and immediately began preparations to complete the survey.

Being made very welcome to islands with a population of just 880 people, MTS was given a 10 day contract to complete to survey without disrupting the water supply to the islands residents, working in conjunction with the client and our Head Office nearly 4200 miles away in the UK our CCTV operatives completed the survey of the mains water supply in temperatures often reaching the mid thirties, again before the deadline approached.

Once again MTS Cleansing Services have proved that time and time again, depth, height, difficult confined space entries and even extreme remote locations pose no problem for our skilled and focused divisions within the group.
