Danaher & Walsh Invests in Risk Identified Sewer Cleaning Equipment for Anglian Water

Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering has invested a six-figure sum to support its ongoing relationship with Anglian Water. The first phase of this investment includes three new vans for our Risk Identified Sewer Cleaning team. Each vehicle includes a Rioned Urban Jet jetting unit and has been fully branded in Anglian Water livery. This investment will help improve efficiency, strengthen service delivery and support proactive sewer network maintenance.

Supporting the RISC Team

The new vans will support our Risk Identified Sewer Cleaning team, also known as RISC. This proactive team works on high-risk sewer locations across the Lincolnshire and Ruthamford area. These locations often have a history of sewer issues, pollution risk or flooding concerns. By targeting these areas early, the team helps reduce the risk of future incidents. As a result, the work supports better network performance and improved protection for local communities.

How the RISC Team Works

The RISC team starts by assessing identified high-risk locations. They carry out CCTV sewer surveys to check the condition and performance of the network. If a sewer needs cleaning, the team uses high-pressure jetting equipment to service the pipe. During the survey, the team also looks for structural defects. These can include cracks, dropped joints or other issues within the sewer pipe. If they find a defect, the team completes an enabling form with the required information. The project team can then review the data and consider the right repair option.

Investing in Specialist Equipment

Each new van includes an industry-leading Rioned Urban Jet jetting unit. The team has also received new Minicam push camera units for sewer surveying. Together, these tools support both cleaning and inspection work. Each van represents an investment of more than £70,000. Therefore, this programme provides the RISC team with high-quality equipment for day-to-day operations. The new vehicles will help the team work safely, efficiently and effectively across the Anglian Water region.
