Sewer & drainage rehabilitation service launched
Before
After
The latest service from MTS aims to repair pipework with minimal need for excavation to
keep disruption to a minimum.
Pipelines can crack and joints fail for a number of reasons including ground loading, erosion, faulty installation and
root infiltration.
The new sewer and drain repair service from MTS paid dividends for local Kent company Bates Office Supplies when
a CCTV survey showed roots in the line, displacement and a major crack. Our repair team patched the crack using
no-dig relining and dug up and replace another section of sewer and gully where excavation was essential.
Relining restores drains and pipework to a better than new condition at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Southern Water & MTS
Bathing Water results 2014
We are very pleased to announce a five
year extension to our existing contract
with Southern Water which will now
run until November 2021.
All Bathing Waters across the
Southern Water region have met
current standards for the 2014
bathing season.
Steve Gilson, MTS Contracts and Operations Director
said; “We have maintained planned works and kept
all sites compliant while also dealing with many
emergency flood responses. This achievement is
thanks to superb team work across MTS.”
In comparison, in 1988 38 of our Bathing Waters
failed these standards. MTS continues to work
with Southern Water to protect the coastal
environment and bathing beaches across the
region.
In-house composting facility certified by BSI for quality
and environmental management
Composting Facilities Services (CFS) Ltd
is our sister company which runs our
innovative waste treatment facility. The
industrial scale in-vessel composting
system is the first of its kind in the UK,
recycling sewage waste into beneficial
soil conditioner.
The plant at Kingsnorth, Rochester in Kent is fully
licenced by the Environment Agency and treats
around 17,000 tonnes of waste per year which
would have otherwise been destined for expensive
and unsustainable landfill.
After a series of audits by the British Standards
Institution, CFS Ltd is now certified for the ISO 9001
quality management system and ISO 14001 for
environmental management. These are the world’s
most widely recognised management standard
systems, helping us to ensure consistent excellence
in performance and customer service while
maintaining our environmental responsibilities.
