Universal Tankers provides an integrated service for construction sites, delivering bulk water supplies and managing wastewater disposal nationwide. With the capability to handle volumes of any size, we support both large-scale infrastructure projects and smaller construction businesses. Our flexible service adapts to the needs of each site, giving every client a single, reliable partner for water and wastewater requirements while maintaining full compliance with construction industry legislation.
We offer safe and reliable disposal of effluent from welfare units and on-site septic tanks. Our trained operatives manage every collection with precision, supported by full waste transfer documentation for complete traceability. This service protects your site against the risks of uncontrolled discharges, to help you to maintain compliance with environmental law and safeguarding public health.
Our wholesome water is delivered in line with the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2016 and Drinking Water Inspectorate standards. Suitable for drinking, handwashing, welfare facilities, and portable accommodation, it provides a dependable supply of clean water to keep your workforce safe and supported. Every delivery is handled using specialist tankers, giving you confidence that water quality is protected from source to site.
For applications that do not require drinking water, we provide cost-effective non-potable supplies. This water is ideal for dust suppression, concrete batching, vehicle washing, and equipment cleaning. Using non-potable water for these tasks reduces demand on drinking water resources, delivering both operational efficiency and cost-savings.

Construction sites generate several types of wastewater that must be managed responsibly. Water runoff often contains silt, sediment, and traces of chemicals from site operations, which can present environmental risks if discharged without treatment. Welfare facilities produce blackwater containing sewage, while hygiene facilities generate greywater from sinks, showers, and handwashing stations. Each of these wastewater streams requires safe collection, transport, and disposal to remain compliant with UK regulations.
Universal Tankers has extensive experience in managing construction site wastewater, providing safe disposal and reliable water deliveries for projects of every scale. Our trained teams and modern fleet handle all wastewater types with full compliance, to give you complete traceability and confidence that your site is operating responsibly. Contact us today to arrange wastewater management tailored to your construction needs.
If wastewater from construction operations is not managed correctly, it can contaminate surrounding water sources and the wider environment. Runoff containing silt, chemicals, or oils may enter local watercourses, while untreated blackwater and greywater from welfare and hygiene facilities can introduce harmful substances into the environment. Proper collection, transport, and disposal are therefore required to prevent pollution and protect both public health and drinking water supplies. Speak to Universal Tankers today about safe and compliant wastewater management for your construction site.
The frequency with which a sewage storage system must be emptied depends on the number of workers using it and how quickly capacity is reached. Regular maintenance is strongly recommended, as this prevents blockages, protects the long-term condition of wastewater pipes, and reduces the likelihood of costly repairs. Planned servicing also allows minimal maintenance of the system and disruption to site operations, keeping your facilities reliable throughout the project.
