Case Studies
Forecourt Drainage Services
The bp / Bovis Global Alliance uses Waterworks to manage the drainage network for
more than 400 bp retail sites. Waterworks’ interceptor inspections reduced costs and
ensure bp meets environmental requirements to maintain the forecourt interceptor
twice a year. The quality of service for planned preventative maintenance has
reduced the number of reactive call outs. Response times to reactive call outs have
improved. Water Works track maintenance costs by site and by service area and
makes continuous suggestions for cost reduction and improvement.

Biodiversity
West Sussex County Council wanted a simple, traffic-light type indicator that can be
submitted with a planning application and serve as an easily understood visual guide
to the development’s impact on biodiversity. Thus a high-scoring, ‘green-light’
development project will undertake measures to enhance biodiversity, whereas a red-
light, low-scoring development project will have taken no account of the site’s existing
and potential wildlife value.
The Council asked Waterworks to help design the indicator. A prototype indicator was
trialled on one of the council’s own property developments. The index was then
refined and now has the visual form of a flower.
