Investing in The Drain Warden means embracing a superior method of stormwater management. Whether you're a municipality focused on water quality or a business dedicated to sustainable practices, this device seamlessly aligns with your objectives. Its innovative design, efficient operation, and multifaceted pollutant capture make it an indispensable tool for safeguarding the environment and preserving the health of local water systems.

Introducing The Drain Warden – an innovative solution that revolutionises stormwater management by operating akin to a gross pollutant trap. With its unique design, it addresses pollution at its source, ensuring cleaner waterways and a healthier environment. This intelligent device acts as a guardian, effectively capturing debris and pollutants to prevent their entry into drains and local water systems.

Our highly experienced teams in Canada, Australia and the United States provide the world’s best performing and technologically advanced aerial firefighting apparatus. Our teams pride themselves on operating safely and efficiently, with the ability to handle intense pressure in the most extreme firefighting theatres on earth.

Ever innovative and creative, Coulson Aviation has established night firefighting operations in Australia and California. We first implemented our night aerial fire suppression protocols in response to the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires in Victoria Australia. Our pilots employ night vision technology (NVG), allowing our attack crews to hover fill from open water sources, and carry out pinpoint fire suppression using laser guided drop technology.

We are world leaders in aerial firefighting innovation, providing meticulously serviced aircraft to safely and efficiently attack fires 24/7. Our fleet currently features custom-designed Hercules C-130s, Sikorsky S-61 helicopters, Boeing Chinook CH-47 helitankers, Sikorsky Black Hawk UH-60 helitankers, and custom-converted Boeing 737 FireLiner™ fleet equipped with our proprietary RADS-XXL technology.

The Drain Warden operates in a similar fashion to a gross pollutant trap. Runoff water will tend to ‘swirl’ inside the Drain Warden when it enters the pit. Any particulate greater than the pore size of the fabric will be trapped by the geotextile fabric. The hydrocarbons will be absorbed by the hydrophobic boom suspended beneath the grate.

Embrace a new level of efficiency, pollution prevention, and environmental responsibility. By integrating The Drain Warden into your stormwater system, you're not just trapping pollutants – you're actively contributing to the protection of waterways, fostering a cleaner ecosystem, and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Installed beneath the drain grate, the Drain Warden effectively removes coarse sediments, oil, litter and debris from run off. The unique design of the Drain Warden uses a polypropylene non woven geotextile fabric as a filter medium and a polypropylene absorbent boom for hydrocarbon absorption.
