Available exclusively on the Camel 1200 sewer cleaner, Super Products LLC’s wastewater recycling system features a six-stage water filtration process that enables effective sewer cleaning action without the need for fresh water. The main key to the system’s effectiveness is the Camel 1200’s industry-unique ejector plate which serves as a full-body primarily filter that thoroughly separates solids from liquids collected in the debris body. The collected water then travels through a series of filters, strainers and a separator that removes particles from the liquid utilizing centrifugal action. The 12-yard debris capacity Camel 1200 also features a technologically advanced water pump that was specifically designed for wastewater recycling operation and high pressure efficient performance.

AllJetVac models have a strong positive displacement blower system for excellent jetting action and superior vacuum power. The oval-shaped debris body has cylindrical sides for extra strength and efficient material dumping. Water tanks, fabricated from high quality aluminum, are mounted high on the chassis away from road debris. Optional galvanized debris bodies and water tanks carry lifetime warranties. Standard on AllJetVac models is an intelligent AllSmartFlow CAN-bus control system. The AllSmartFlow has a programmable LCD display that monitors engine, water-flow and vacuum performance while allowing for more precise boom and reel movements. Water flow control monitoring also can reduce trips for refills.

J$460-m bushing, drain cleaning and patching works under way – NWA

Fri, 30 Dec 2016 00:02:15 +0000

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The National Works Agency (NWA) says it has started a road patching exercise, targeting several corridors across the country.

A separate programme is also reportedly being simultaneously rolled out, under which the NWA says critical drains along select corridors will be cleaned and embankments bushed.

In a news release today, Manager, Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw, says that the corridors to be targeted under these programmes are those that carry a heavy volume of traffic.

These will reportedly be selected by the agency, based on information gleaned through traffic studies.

Shaw says J$200 million will be spent on the patching of roads islandwide, while the drain cleaning and bushing activities will account for another J$260 million.

He says that much of the activities will be completed before Christmas and that members of Parliament have been engaged to assist in having some of the work done.

Limerick Council hired dissolved company to clean halting site sewers

Fri, 30 Dec 2016 00:02:15 +0000

A MONTH after a Limerick drainage company was dissolved, they were hired by Limerick City Council to clean sewers at a halting site where their negligence led to a grandfather falling down a manhole.

In a civil action for damages before Limerick Circuit Court, Terence Casey said he notified Limerick City Council in 2008 of an issue regarding sewers at the Clonlong halting site in Southill where he and his family lived for 40 years.

Hazdecon Limited, a specialist drainage company trading as Premier Drain Cleaning were contracted to carry out the works.

On December 8, 2008, workers from the drainage company had removed the manhole covers at the halting site when Mr Casey stepped backwards into the manhole and fell in up to his shoulders. He said that the area had not been cordoned off.

The 67-year-old retired pensioner was pulled from the drain by his brother and nephews and brought to St John’s Hospital where he had an x-ray.

Six days later, he was still in pain and went to the Regional Hospital in Dooradoyle where he was prescribed pain killers after a right rib fracture was diagnosed.

He couldn’t lift his grandchildren for some time after the fall and that had tenderness but now, seven years after the accident, he was “grand again”.

Under cross-examination, he said he had seen the open manhole but forgot about it as he turned to walk back to his house and he fell in.

Mr Casey brought his personal injury action against Limerick City Council, who were responsible for the halting site; Hazdecon Ltd, trading as Premier Drain Cleaning and Joebren Limited, caretakers of the halting site.

Counsel for the City Council Derek Sheahan BL, said a statutory defence had been filed which indemnified the local authority from any liability.

Mr Sheahan argued that, as Premier Drain Cleaning were a specialist company, they were responsible for any claim.

However, when Judge Keys asked why Premier Drain Cleaning was not represented, Mr Casey’s barrister, Philip Moloney BL, said the company had been dissolved one month before the accident.

Hazdecon Ltd was also recorded as “dormant” on August 31, 2007, more than 15 months before the accident.

“Well, that paints a very different picture of your defence”, Judge Keys remarked to Mr Sheahan. “This isn’t a case of pass the buck”.

“We all know that if you are going to open a manhole, you have to have it fenced off or have someone standing there on duty.

“I cannot accept that as a defence,” he said to Mr Sheahan as the defence barrister sought to explain that the council felt they had employed a “competent specialist firm”.

“Yes but they company was liquidated a month beforehand and they didn’t do the job properly”, Judge Keys said.

“The contractor was not ‘Jim’ll fix it’, so we felt that the matter was properly in hand,” Mr Sheahan countered arguing that “we should not be liable over the negligence of the contractor.”

However, Judge Keys ruled that the contracted company was dissolved and Limerick City Council were responsible.”

After a brief adjournment, the court heard that the matter was settled with Mr Casey receiving an undisclosed payment and his legal costs.

‘Ochi’ Needs Cleaning Up For The New Year – Residents

Fri, 30 Dec 2016 00:02:14 +0000

A clean town and the removal of street people from the resort town of Ocho Rios are among the main things that residents want to see happen in the new year.

Issues pertaining to road repairs, congestion, drain cleaning and tourist harassment also surfaced as The Gleaner took to the streets of Ocho Rios recently.

One resident, Mark Thomas, said there were three main issues that need to be addressed urgently.

"For Ocho Rios, there are three main things - the cleanliness of the whole town; two, fewer homeless people and mad people on the streets; and three, the roads, especially in and around Ocho Rios. Those are the main things I want to see improved," Thomas said.

The issue of road repairs was partially addressed recently with patching exercise by National Works Agency. But according to another resident, Debbie Leeung, patching does not solve the problems being faced by motorists and pedestrians alike.

"When I say fix the road I don't mean do a little patch work because patch work doesn't help anybody, it's like a camouflage," Leeung says.

"If we take our time and do the thing right, let it last for a 10-year (period), I see where it would be a big improvement." For her, proper roads is the major concern.

A gentleman who gave his name as Tony decried the harassment of visitors, the street people and the drainage problem.

"The drainage system is pretty bad. Whenever it rains, the town is full of water on the street, and it doesn't run off easily. Then there are too many madmen on the streets and too many street boys," he pointed out.

"And the folks who interfere with the tourists, that puts a little fear in the tourists." Tony, who says he spends time abroad each year, says friends who visit Jamaica often complain to him about harassment.

"They would say, you have a lot of beggars in Ocho Rios, and I feel so ashamed really. Apart from that, Ochi stinks, it smells a lot. I don't know what the problem is, but it stinks."

Another gentleman, Baldie, says he hates to visit Ocho Rios when it rains as there is a lot of water running on the streets. He is suggesting the installation of an underground drainage system that would see the water quickly leave the surface of the road.
