Drainflow (Aberdeen) Ltd was established in 1987 by Charlie & Lorna Miller. Charlie is a qualified Civil Engineer and moved from design and construction to inspection and maintenance. With Charlie nearing retirement age, a succession plan was instigated in 2015 for Lyndsey MacKinnon (Lorna and Charlie's daughter) to start running the business, with technical support from Charlie.
We have the most advanced technology available but we also realise that our business is only as good as the staff we employ. We have also developed the business into more technical aspects due to clients requiring more information from our survey works. Norman Allan (Operations Manager) has been a loyal employee, working with the company for over 34 years!
Map out the system, provide accurate layout plans either to AutoCad, OS tile or schematic. This is ideal for companies planning to achieve ISO14001. Undertake patch lining which allows for certain defects to be repaired using no-dig technique. As a business that consistently delivers safe, cost effective engineering solutions to our clients, it's no surprise that this is exactly what we received in return from Drainflow.

Services
We can be working in a dangerous environment so we take training in confined space work very seriously. Before work starts, method statements and risk assessments are submitted to the client electronically and a hard copy can be produced onsite, if requested prior to works commencing, taking into account all facets of our procedures.
Now commonly used to clear blocked drains and to pre-clean drains and sewers for maintenance or prior to inspection. Drainflow own units suitable for cleaning pipework from 100mm to 375mm diameter. Operatives are trained and certified in the safe use of this equipment. Most drainage contractors employ this equipment but it has to be managed effectively to avoid potential pollution and safety incidents.
Since 2014, Drainflow have been offering a no-dig solution to repair damaged drains and sewers. Based on our cctv report, we can advise as to whether patch lining is a suitable option to repair cracks, fractures, infiltration, root ingress and damaged PVC pipework. The drain is pre-cleaned using H.P water jetting techniques and the damage to the pipe is accurately ascertained using our cctv system.
Drain mapping can be carried out to various levels of accuracy. From a basic sketch to using an ordanance survey plan, to overlaying information onto a topographical survey. Drainflow can provide all your specific requirements to the highest of standards, providing electronic copies in PDF and DWG formats.

Report
Drainflow were recommended to us by KNC Groundworks. It’s clear to me why these companies work together- because they share the same high standards. We’d used another company for a CCTV drain survey previously- there was no comparison. They were so quick to respond, professional and easy to deal with. They did a superb job, with excellent… information and advice provided- and the price was the same as the other company we used who did 1/5th the work. The staff were also incredibly polite and professional. A first rate company. I highly recommend. Thank you all at Drainflow &
