Drain Protection

Protecting drains from harmful liquid spillages has become an essential part of risk assessment and contingency planning. It is no longer acceptable to deal with a problem further down the line, drainage systems have to be isolated as a first precaution in the event of any spillage. Spill Shop has multiple solutions to achieve this with a wide range of products to protect your drainage systems in a wide choice of sizes to suit your requirements. You can protect your drain in many different ways. The easiest way is to simply cover the drain with a small drainage cover or drain seal. Spill Shop has three different products that fit into this category, including two types of reusable drain covers and one type of single-use cover to choose from. Another method to isolate a drain is by the use of flexible spill berms, which are designed to create an impermeable barrier around a drain and divert spillages away from them. The final type is a drain blocker, these are inflatable balloon-type bladders that expand in pipework and prevent spillages from getting past them.

Lightweight Drain and Gulley Covers - Reusable

Neoprene is made from a synthetic rubber material making the drain covers flexible and durable but also chemically resistant. These reusable covers are designed to be either laid flat over a drain or unrolled to cover the length of the gulley. Additionally, the drain cover can be fitted under the drain grid (where grids are fully removable). When used in this way, plugging granules or pre-mixed sealing putty can also be applied to ensure a leak-tight fit. Spill Shop’s lightweight drain and gulley covers are best used on even surfaces when laid flat over drains or gullies.

Heavyweight Drain Covers - Reusable

Our heavyweight drain covers are made from urethane, making them resistant to oil, water and most chemicals whilst remaining durable and resistant to tearing. These reusable covers simply need to be laid over any drain to provide protection. They are available in four different sizes, from small drains covers to extra-large options, and are best used where drains are located on relatively even surfaces. All come enclosed in a highly-visible carry-handle holdall.

Mouldable Drain Covers - Single Use

Available in three different sizes, this type of drain cover is the most popular on the market. Made from reinforced clay, these drain covers are truly mouldable. Small drain covers that are moldablemouldable and leak-tight, make them extra helpful for covering over smaller and more awkward spillages effectively. No matter how uneven the surface around the drain, these drain covers will mould to every contour by simply being placed over a drain grid and walked over. Due to the interwoven reinforced construction, they will not fall apart in use or when retrieved.

Spill Berms

Our spill berms are made from urethane making them highly flexible and resistant to most chemicals. Spill Berms can be deployed to encircle a drain to isolate it from a spill or used to divert a spill away from a drain to a less sensitive area. They are best used on flat, even surfaces.

Drain Blockers

Available in many sizes, Spill Shop drain blockers use the inlet structure beneath the drain grate. Once in position, they can be inflated for a snug fit to prevent any liquid from getting past them. Further apparatus like absorbents or a sump pump may be required to collect any liquid left lying on top of the inflated bladder after a spillage has occurred.
