Description
The Spillmaster Drain Warden 600mm x 600mm is a compact stormwater drain filter designed to trap hydrocarbons, silt, oil, trash, and sediment before they enter drainage networks. Installed directly beneath the drain grate, its heavy-duty geotextile basin filters stormwater, while an included high-absorption oil-only bilge sock captures suspended hydrocarbons and fuel residues. Additionally, this 600mm x 600mm catch basin filter is widely used across construction sites, commercial car parks, marinas, shopping centres, and industrial loading bays. It suits site managers, environmental officers, and facility supervisors who require an economical, continuous solution for stormwater pollution control and environmental compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Drain Warden 600mm x 600mm and how does it work?
A Drain Warden (also known as a catch basin insert, stormwater drain filter, or sediment drain basket) is a geotextile filter installed beneath a drain grate. It captures silt, coarse sediment, trash, and debris while an integrated oil-absorbent bilge sock traps hydrocarbons, allowing clean filtered water to pass through into the stormwater system.
Where is the Drain Warden 600mm x 600mm commonly used?
It is ideal for construction sites, commercial car parks, retail shopping centres, marinas, waterfront facilities, transport depots, and industrial hardstand areas.
How is the Drain Warden 600mm x 600mm maintained?
Inspect the unit regularly or after heavy rain events. Remove the drain grate, empty accumulated sediment and debris from the geotextile basin, replace the oil-absorbent bilge sock when saturated, and place the grate back over the unit.

Emergency Spill Response: The 5 C’s Guide
- CONTROL the Source & Risk: Ensure appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is donned before approaching any hazardous release. If safe to do so, immediately mitigate the source by closing valves, uprighting damaged containers, or applying emergency plugging to stop further flow.
- CONTAIN the Spread: Deploy appropriate containment barriers, socks, or bunding around the perimeter of the spill to prevent fluid migration. Prioritise blocking access to stormwater drains, unsealed ground, and pedestrian thoroughfares.
- COMMUNICATE the Hazard: Alert nearby personnel, restrict site access around the affected zone, and notify your WHS supervisor or site emergency warden in accordance with facility safety protocols.
- CLEAN UP the Liquid: Apply matching loose absorbents, pads, or pillows directly onto the pooled liquid to capture, bind, and neutralize residues. Safely sweep up saturated materials and transfer all contaminated waste into certified disposal bags for secure handling.
- CHECK & Restock: Inspect the area thoroughly to ensure no residual hazards or slip risks remain. Seal and dispose of waste in compliance with local environmental regulations, and immediately restock equipment to maintain full operational readiness.
