Gully Cleaning with Jewel

Regular gully cleaning is essential to prevent flooding, water damage, and unsafe road conditions. Blocked gullies can lead to standing water, traffic hazards, and damage to infrastructure during heavy rainfall. For local authorities, effective gully maintenance is critical to keeping streets safe, accessible, and resilient. Jewel helps teams stay in control by providing one platform for planning, execution, and reporting, with real-time insight that supports both field crews and coordinators.

Digitize Gully Cleaning with Jewel

Jewel supports gully cleaning teams by digitising the entire workflow, from inspection and planning to execution. Work orders are sent digitally to tablets or smartphones, ensuring field teams always have clear and up-to-date instructions on which gullies to inspect or clean. Locations and routes are displayed on an interactive digital map, making it immediately visible where work needs to be carried out and which areas fall under which responsibility.

During execution, inspections and cleaning activities are logged automatically using location data, timestamps, and optional photos. Blockages, defects, and completed work are recorded directly in the field, removing the need for manual administration and creating reliable, transparent reporting.

All updates are instantly visible to planners and work preparers, providing real-time insight into progress, risks, and priorities. Because Jewel is quick to implement and easy to use, teams can start working with the system within days, including temporary staff or crews with varying digital experience, while maintaining full control over gully cleaning operations.

Digitize Gully Cleaning for Efficient Drainage Maintenance

Jewel supports professional and structured gully cleaning as a core part of public space maintenance. By digitising gully inspection and cleaning, local authorities and contractors gain clear oversight of where work is needed and where risks are emerging.

Field teams can alert issues such as blockages or defects directly from the field, ensuring problems are captured early and accurately. These signals are immediately visible to planners, shifting gully maintenance from ad-hoc response to a more pre-emptive, risk-based approach. With clear digital maps, planned routes, and real-time progress insight, crews know exactly which gullies require attention and when. This results in a more efficient, predictable gully cleaning process with clear accountability and better control over drainage maintenance in the public space.
