RPSA recognises NADC
Professional body becomes preferred supplier of drainage surveys for its members
The Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA) has recognised the National Association of Drainage Contractors (NADC) and its members as the preferred supplier of drainage surveys for its clients. This recognition is a direct result of the demanding standards that NADC places upon its members which include the requirement that members offering CCTV drainage surveys must hold the recognised certification for this specialist activity.
Alan Milstein, Chairman of RPSA said ‘with an aging drainage infrastructure and the increasing demands placed upon it, RPSA members are seeing an ever growing need to recommend to clients that they obtain a drainage survey. That used to mean suggesting that they go on-line to search for a local
contractor, but without having an assurance that they would be able to undertake the job professionally. NADC has been able to demonstrate to RPSA that their members are properly trained and competent to undertake CCTV drainage surveys and in future RPSA will suggest to its surveyor members that they direct their clients to the NADC website to find a drainage contractor to do the job for them.’
Peter Stacey, Chairman of NADC commented ‘I am delighted that RPSA has recognised the demanding standards that NADC has set for its members and in particular that they are competent to undertake any specific activity that may be asked of a drainage contractor. Undertaking a CCTV survey is a highly skilled activity, and it is vital that a contractor has the correct certification to do the job. All NADC members who carry out CCTV surveys have such a certification and RPSA can therefore feel confident in its decision to recognise NADC and its members as preferred suppliers’
The new arrangement has been circulated to all RPSA surveyors and instructions for NADC member drainage surveys should follow quickly as a result.

Grundfos improves asset availability and reduces cost of downtime
A Wessex Water location in Dorset recently saved valuable time, money and stress when Grundfos was used to deliver a pump solution in a breakdown situation.
A multi pump failure at the inlet works had the potential to have very serious consequences when a problem with a wastewater pump meant that a non- standard pump needed to be replaced very quickly. Any disruption to the plant’s operation had many consequences including the high costs associated with over-pumping and compliance risk while waiting on a new pump to be delivered. The average
delivery time for replacement equipment would mean 8 weeks’ disruption.
However, they contacted Grundfos who, understood the urgency and hold stock of over 2000 wastewater pumps for the UK market, could deliver a pump replacement in just 4 days. This meant they were up and running in just a fraction of the expected time and the added benefit of simple installation solutions for existing applications, meant that the plant was running smoothly again. As well as reliable products and exemplar service, the plant savings in over-pumping financed the replacement pumps, resulting in financial savings and significant compliance risk reduction.
A Wessex Water spokesperson explained ”Grundfos are keen to make sure that our service level agreements are met, and keen that we get the service we really need”.
