Thames Water Appoints Drainforce on Targeted Catchment Investigations
Drainforce Limited Awarded Targeted Catchment Investigation Contract Across Thames Water Region

Drainforce Limited has been awarded a contract to deliver targeted catchment investigations across the entire Thames Valley Water region.
Scope of Works
The project will be managed by a dedicated Project Manager, supported by AIS Technicians and eight specialist teams. Each team will be equipped with a City Recycler, a 7.5-tonne City Flex unit, and Jevan CCTV combination units to carry out investigations efficiently.
Innovative GIS and AIS Integration
Drainforce will deploy its newly designed in-house GIS system to conduct targeted "hot surveys," enabling precise identification of root causes and proactive blockage clearance. This system aims to improve first-time resolution rates, minimising disruption for customers.
Focus on Innovation and First-Time Resolutions
By leveraging advanced Root Cutting, Desilting, and Rehabilitation techniques— including patching and lining—Drainforce aims to prevent repeat blockages and enhance network resilience. The integration of AIS technology will ensure data-driven decision-making, optimising service delivery and long-term efficiency.
