                                          Ocean Protect | OceanGuard Operations & Maintenance Manual

Introduction
The primary purpose of stormwater treatment devices is to capture and prevent pollutants from entering
waterways, maintenance is a critical component of ensuring the ongoing effectiveness of this process. The
specific requirements and frequency for maintenance depends on the treatment device and pollutant load
characteristics of each site. This manual has been designed to provide details on the cleaning and
maintenance processes as recommended by the manufacturer.
The OceanGuard technology is a gully pit basket designed to fit within new and existing gully pits to remove
pollution from stormwater runoff. The system has a choice of Filtration liners, designed to remove gross
pollutants, total suspended solids and attached pollutants as either a standalone technology or as part of a
treatment train with our StormFilter or Jellyfish Filtration products. OceanGuard pit baskets are highly
effective, easy to install and simple to maintain.


Why do I need to perform maintenance?
Adhering to the maintenance schedule of each stormwater treatment device is essential to ensuring that it
functions properly throughout its design life.
During each inspection and clean, details of the mass, volume and type of material that has been collected
by the device should be recorded. This data will assist with the revision of future management plans and help
determine maintenance interval frequency. It is also essential that qualified and experienced personnel carry
out all maintenance (including inspections, recording and reporting) in a systematic manner.
Maintenance of your stormwater management system is essential to ensuring ongoing at-source control of
stormwater pollution. Maintenance also helps prevent structural failures (e.g. prevents blocked outlets) and
aesthetic failures (e.g. debris build up), but most of all ensures the long term effective operation of the
OceanGuard.
