The Devonport Docks in Plymouth are undergoing a transformative upgrade as part of a £750 million contract between Babcock and the Ministry of Defence. This infrastructure programme is crucial to sustaining the Royal Navy’s submarine fleet and the UK’s Defence Nuclear Enterprise for decades to come.
One vital aspect often overlooked in such high-stakes environments is the secure and efficient management of site facilities whilst minimising visitor numbers. Enter CABINPUMP – the solution that not only handles site sewage needs but significantly enhances site security.
Traditionally, when gravity drainage isn’t nearby, temporary buildings rely on effluent tanks under accommodation cabins, regularly emptied by civilian waste tankers. But on sensitive sites like Devonport, every vehicle and every visitor entering the port is a potential security risk. Here, CABINPUMP eliminates the need for frequent tanker visits, minimising site traffic and, importantly, reducing security vulnerabilities by pumping the wastewater to the nearest foul gravity drain.
With the CABINPUMP, we’re not just supporting site operations; we’re enhancing security, efficiency and safety, ensuring that the focus remains on delivering the infrastructure that will keep our nation secure.
