Australia’s climate presents unique challenges for sewer and stormwater asset maintenance, so it’s important to work with a supplier that can give the right advice.
Modern sewer and drainage systems are challenging operational environments at the best of times, but with frequent floods, prolonged droughts and extreme storms, Australian asset owners have a lot to contend with.
Communities depend on utilities to keep these assets in good working order, so it’s important that they are working with the most effective maintenance equipment that can meet their specific needs.
For more than 25 years, DCS Manufacturing has been crafting specialised, customer-tailored cleaning solutions from its Melbourne-based facility. With a passion for research and development, this family-owned business is a leader in product innovation and the company’s focus is to build long-term relationships with customers by delivering quality products, the right advice and the best outcomes.
This specialist manufacturer has a proven track record in designing, developing and producing high-performance sewer cleaning vehicles, which are built to meet the specific demands of a wide range of industries, including modern sewer and drainage systems, and non destructive digging.
Nothing short of perfection
DCS follows a rigorous and structured design and engineering process to ensure that each sewer cleaning vehicle is tailored to the specific needs and requirements of its clients.
During the manufacturing stage, DCS incorporates state-of-the-art technology and skilled craftsmanship to produce each sewer cleaning vehicle to the highest standards. Quality control is a key priority for the team at DCS, and each vehicle undergoes an extensive testing and quality assurance process to ensure that it meets the highest standards of performance, safety and reliability.
Functional and operational testing
Each vehicle is tested in real-world conditions to verify the performance of its systems, including the high-pressure water jetting system, vacuum functionality, and wastewater disposal mechanisms. DCS conducts detailed trials to assess the cleaning efficiency, waste recovery capacity, and ease of operation. This testing ensures that the vehicle performs effectively across a range of sewer cleaning tasks, from routine maintenance to challenging blockages.
Meeting safety and environmental standards
DCS ensures that each vehicle complies with relevant industry safety standards, including vehicle stability, emissions control and operator safety. The team ensures that all vehicles meet environmental regulations related to wastewater disposal and air quality. Safety features such as ergonomic controls, spill prevention mechanisms, and reliable fail-safes are rigorously tested to ensure the vehicle’s safety during operation.
Durability and endurance testing
Each vehicle is subjected to endurance testing to simulate extended periods of use. This includes repeated cycles of high-pressure jetting and vacuuming operations, as well as driving over rough terrain. DCS tests the vehicle’s durability to ensure it can withstand long-term wear and tear while maintaining peak performance.
Final inspection and quality control
Before delivery, each vehicle undergoes a final inspection where the quality control team ensures that all systems are functioning correctly, and that the vehicle meets the design specifications. DCS also checks for visual quality, and ensure that all components are properly installed and secured. Only vehicles that pass this rigorous inspection are cleared for delivery. The in-house service department is now also equipped with a set of truck lifting hoists to ensure your asset is back in operation as soon as possible.
Customer-first
With a customer-centred approach, advanced technology and a dedicated team, DCS is committed to delivering vehicles that are engineered to meet the most challenging operational environments. From concept through to final delivery and after-sales support, DCS ensures that every project is executed with precision, quality and customer satisfaction in mind.
