Welcome to the world of Pollution Prevention, Environmental audits and surveys or just advice on Septic Tank drainage schemes. If you have a drainage problem relating to sewage, water either drinking or flooding then we can help. Too little water then you need a cost-effective irrigation scheme. Need to treat the effluent but don`t want to use a mechanical sewage treatment plant, then a reed bed or constructed wetland would be ideal. Low maintenance, no electrical or moving parts and it has the added benefit of not only being environmentally friendly in sewage treatment terms but also creates a natural habitat for wildlife, insects and birds.

As the company has been trading for 25 years, and is thriving and evolving under its new `Limited` status, We- David Trump and Bridget have decided to expand our respective horizons. The upshot is that in January 2009 we will depart in David`s beloved Landrover, fitted with all available kit and vital accessories (thanks in large part to the Overseas Expedition Company) for the African Continent.
The journey down through Europe will be important for making last minute adjustments, rationalising and perfecting our organisation, pinching each other to believe that the planning is over and the adventures about to begin. Also we look forward to visiting some lovely friends on the way!
We met in Africa. It is a special place to both of us, and Marc and Claire Baker who live in Tanzania form a significant part of our planning for this journey or `safari` - as they say in Swahili. Quite apart from flying up to meet us in Ethiopia for a fortnight, they plan on joining us for 2 months with Oscar, aged 3 and Niamh, 5, for the Southern part of Africa when we will travel together as two vehicles.
People ask us about our route, and whether it is safe. You will see from the map the way we hope to go, but of course we have to be flexible, prepared to change if circumstances dictate. David has been training hard on the mechanical side, we plan to update our Expedition First Aid thanks to an adventurous Doctor friend, and for the rest we have read avidly many accounts of Overland trips through Africa and are confident that we are prepared for most eventualities.
With enormous expertise in the field of water treatment, we will be very aware of circumstances in villages and towns which we encounter en route, and no doubt David will give advice freely. We will certainly hope to meet up with a boy who we sponsor in Kenya through Plan International.
Although we have decided not to carry a laptop computer we do intend to update this web site when we find internet cafes -surprisingly common now, and you will all be able to write to us and follow our progress on Google earth!
