Use the city drains and canal-adjacent routes while clearing the flooded cafe and back alley.

Deployment order: Prioritise the drainage network and establish a clean discharge route towards the canal before committing pumps to interior or back-alley pockets.

01

Phase 1 — Open the street drains

Stop avoidable surface accumulation before unloading the full kit.

  1. Scan the market streets and clear the nearest blocked drains first.
  2. Work from the main street towards the cafe and rear access routes.
  3. Confirm that each opened drain is actually receiving water before leaving it.
02

Phase 2 — Establish the canal discharge

Create the primary route for pumped water.

  1. Position the first pump in the deepest persistent market water.
  2. Run the outlet hose towards a stable canal-side discharge area or confirmed drain connection.
  3. Keep the hose end clear of walls and standing water that can create backsplash.
03

Phase 3 — Clear the cafe and back alley

Move equipment only after the main street begins stabilising.

  1. Shift pumping capacity to the cafe-side accumulation and then the rear alley.
  2. Use the map scan to separate active inflow from water trapped in measured pockets.
  3. Avoid spending time polishing areas that are outside the seven completion regions.
04

Phase 4 — Regional sweep

Finish all seven measured areas efficiently.

  1. Re-scan the full market rather than following only visible reflections.
  2. Vacuum shallow interior or kerb pockets.
  3. Squeegee the last film towards working drains and verify each region before leaving.
