MTS successfully completed a deep wet clean in the heart of Derby city centre.

The work was completed on time and on budget, helping to achieve Severn Trent Water’s goal of “fewer sewer flooding incidents, ensuring waste water is safely taken away”. This aim is part of the Severn Trent Water Five Year Plan 2015 – 2020.

Watch an MTS confined space team in action here, working to clear FOG contamination from a Severn Trent Water pumping station. Aaron McCusker, Senior Network Technician for Severn Trent Water explains how to avoid putting fat, oils and grease into the system.
Severn Trent Water recently extended the MTS Tier One contract for tanker and jetting services through to 2020.
