Local Authority Maintenance
One of Scotland’s largest Local Authorities contacted DAMM Environmental to clean approximately 30,000 gullies. The original tender specification requested that we clean every gully twice a year, every year. When our DAMM team assessed the gullies, we determined that not all gullies required cleaning twice a year, and that others within the cycle required more than 2 cleans per annum. Rather than constraining our clients via the initial terms of the tender, DAMM Environmental worked with the council to develop a plan for a proactive and bespoke approach to the gully cleaning cycle.
- This enabled the council to target their spend more effectively, which in turn resulted in reactive calls and floods decreasing by almost 70%
- This unique approach made it possible to service effectively the remedial repairs and replacement of damaged gullies, creating a much more effective overall budget spend for the council – thus preventing more problems further down the line.
