  Commercial & Industrial CCTV

SJ Allen's CCTV service films commercial & Industrial sewer pipes and storm water drains with closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV). These show clearly root masses, flaws in joints, shingle build-up, bursts, breaks & pests.

Our CCTV units use the latest technology of pan and tilt self-propelled tractor cameras. Plus they have state-of-the-art win cam systems for data recording and reporting, which means we can fire electronic and hard copy imaging to you at the touch of a button.

Once CCTV has identified the problem, SJ Allen's enormously powerful water blasters will deal to it. Nothing cleans like H20 at 3,000 plus psi. Water at this pressure can cut through timber like a saw, obliterate tree roots, remove thick accumulations of paint and take barnacles off the hulls of ships.

Used in conjunction with water blasting, CCTV from SJ Allen is an effective and efficient maintenance tool for below ground infrastructure.

• Identify industrial waste lines
• Inspections of factory lines
• Inspection of breakages and blockages

  Grease Traps

What is a Grease Trap?

A grease trap is a device designed to intercept grease in a foul water discharge.

Why cleaning your grease trap is important..

Disposing properly of used fats and oils is very important. If you don't, they can cause expensive problems later. Fats will become solid and eventually block your pipes requiring a plumber to clear.  

Avoid costly repairs.  Cleaning the trap should be done regularly - once a month is usually alright but it depends on your type of business and how  much fat is going into the grease trap. Three months would be the maximum.

SJ Allen specialises in design, manufacturing and distribution of grease traps and oil separators. Our products meet New Zealand standards and comply wastewater regulations.

We are South Canterbury's No1 Grease Trap solution and provide a wide range of waste water treatment systems.

We offers a fully dedicated backup service and installation consultancy. Call SJ Allen today.

  Water Tank Cleaning

Does your company utilize its own private water supply? If you have a rainwater tank connected to your commercial roofing or nearby stream, bore or well It is essential to have your Water Tanks cleaned out on a regular basis.

Sludge and contaminants build up in the bottom of the tank from debris entering the system generally through the roof and guttering. This sludge can contain harmful bacteria and can pose a significant health risk. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly blockages of pipes and pump systems and helps ensure the purity of your drinking water supply.

SJ Allen Water Tank Cleaning encourages regular check ups and annual tank cleaning. Safe water is an absolute necessity. Our specialist equipment efficiently removes sludge and contaminants from your tank.

To arrange a Commercial Tank Cleaning consultation, don’t hesitate to call or email today.

  Hydro Excavation

A NEW WAVE IN EXCAVATION

Hydro excavation uses high-pressure water instead of manual chipping. It is more precise than standard excavator operation and faster than hand digging.

The grace of excavation, hydro excavators:

• Will not damage tree roots – ideal in urban environments
• Reduce risk of services strike – has been made mandatory in overseas cities (e.g. Brisbane following a three-day power outage)

Powerful vacuums then remove the excavated clay and soil, gravels, base course, and rocks (ranging to the size of a fist). With hydro excavation, excavation risks are literally 'washed away'.

HYDRO EXCAVATION CAPABILITIES

• Open trenching – without prior potholing
• Potholing and investigation
• Services identification/confirmation
• Working around tree roots/services
• Lighting pole installation
• Pile drilling

BENEFITS TO YOU

Cost-Effectiveness, Speed and Efficiency

• At least three times faster than hand digging
• Confident drilling around tree roots and services
• No need to waste time and money on potholing prior to open trenching
• One vehicle does it all – no need for excavators, dump trucks and hand diggers
• Greater capacity water and waste holding – can run all day without leaving site
• Experienced crews adjust pressures and methods for optimal productivity

Risk Reduction

• Greater precision than standard excavators
• Won’t cut through services – reduced risk of electrocution/explosion and the cost of service interruption
• Won’t cut through tree roots – resource consent compliance and arborist satisfaction
• Full range of safety features: GPS, beacons and alarms, earthing rods and wires, gas detectors (as required), and rubber-insulated top

Reputation

• All waste contained in vacuum tank – no mess in residential/commercial areas
• No complaints about services interruptions to homes, shops and offices
• Dust all but eliminated
• No harm to heritage/protected trees

Hydro excavators make life easier. You don’t have to clear any mess away and they eliminate the need for diggers. Productivity is much faster than hand digging. In the future, Councils will probably make hydro excavators for potholing compulsory. It just eliminates the risk.
