Additional Reasons of Maintenance
Occasionally, events on site can make it necessary to perform additional maintenance to ensure the
continuing performance of the device.
Hazardous Material Spill
If there is a spill event on site, all OceanGuard pits that potentially received flow should be inspected and
cleaned. Specifically all captured pollutants from within the filtration bag should be removed and disposed
in accordance with any additional requirements that may relate to the type of spill event. All filtration bags
should be rejuvenated (replaced if required) and re-installed.
Blockages
The OceanGuards internal high flow bypass functionality is designed to minimise the potential of
blockages/flooding. In the unlikely event that flooding occurs around the stormwater pit the following steps
should be undertaken to assist in diagnosing the issue and implementing the appropriate response.
1.
Inspect the OceanGuard flow diverter, ensuring that they are free of debris and pollutants
2.
Perform a minor service on the OceanGuard
3.
Remove the OceanGuard insert to access the pit and inspect both the inlet and outlet pipes, ensuring
they are free of debris and pollutants
Major Storms and Flooding
In addition to the scheduled activities, it is important to inspect the condition of the OceanGuard pit insert
after a major storm event. The inspection should focus on checking for damage and higher than normal
sediment accumulation that may result from localised erosion. Where necessary damaged components
should be replaced and accumulated pollutants disposed.
Disposal of Waste Materials
The accumulated pollutants found in the OceanGuard must be handled and disposed of in a manner that is
in accordance with all applicable waste disposal regulations. When scheduling maintenance, consideration
must be made for the disposal of solid and liquid wastes. If the filtration bag has been contaminated with
any unusual substance, there may be additional special handling and disposal methods required to comply
with relevant government/authority/industry regulations.
Maintenance Services
With over a decade and a half of maintenance experience Ocean Protect has developed a systematic
approach to inspecting, cleaning and maintaining a wide variety of stormwater treatment devices. Our fully
trained and professional staff are familiar with the characteristics of each type of system, and the processes
required to ensure its optimal performance.
Ocean Protect has several stormwater maintenance service options available to help ensure that your
stormwater device functions properly throughout its design life. In the case of our OceanGuard system we
offer long term pay-as-you-go contracts, pre-paid once off servicing and replacement filter bags.
