Removing Litter, Weed and Silt from creeks, ponds, harbours and pollution traps

Stormwater Systems removes pollutants from most waterways and drainage networks. We work with councils, urban developers, catchment bodies and other groups to develop the best practical solutions for managing and removing water pollution.

We maintain:

• In-ground gross-pollutant traps, both at-source and in-pipe systems.
• Booms and other floating detention devices.
• End-of-pipe traps (Pratten Trap 2000) and other systems.
• Creeks, rivers and ponds.
• Wetlands.
• Harbours.
• Trash racks.
• Confined-space areas.

Stormwater Systems maintains all brands and types of stormwater traps, including CDS, Rocla, Ecosol and Baramy, as well as other trash racks and litter basket systems, using 4x4 crane trucks, clamshell cranes, vacuum eductor trucks and bobcats.

We remove a wide range of pollutants, including:

• Light litter (plastics, packaging, bottles, etc).
• Heavy litter (shopping trolleys, cars, building waste, etc).
• Sludge (pumped/excavated from ponds, etc).
• Silt (excavated from wetlands, ponds, rivers, etc).
• Oil.
• Weeds (salivina, reeds).
• Algae.
