This contractor is using a biodigester solution (bacteria) that can clean plant nappies that are contaminate with oils, HVO or other hydrocarbon products The traditional approach would be to use plant nappies or pads that are usually single use, or none effective, and to then dispose of the item as a waste, most likely classed as hazardous. This method aims…
It is essential that every site gives careful consideration to its potential impact on the natural environment. As part of the environmental plan, there should be safe working practices for dealing with hazardous waste, to ensure that it is stored, handled and transported correctly. Arrangements should be made for appropriate refuelling areas, and bunded tanks, drip trays and spill kits should…
Water monitoring for suspended solids and basic chemistry is common practice across construction but due to sensitivity of the environment (working above source protection zone 1), this contractor implemented a detailed water monitoring plan to analyse a larger suite of physical and chemical parameters (>50 individual parameters per sample) than required by environmental consents. Almost 8000 samples have been collected…
This project’s marine licence requires site to stop construction spills from entering the marine environment. The site were originally due to install a large filter drain system and collection ponds to process all run off from the existing platform. This would involve excavation within the Saltmarsh environment, potentially damaging the SSSI location and require 24/7 pumping system to be on…
SlurrySep is a line of reactive separating agents composed of minerals, pH adjusting components, and polymers. They are specially blended high efficiency formulas designed to remove high levels of suspended solids from wastewaters leaving clean water for compliant discharge or reuse. Remaining sludge is non-leachable and will pass Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). This is a cost-effective waste treatment process…
From the early stages of this project they kept to one of their environmental priorities by installing a petrol interceptor in the car park. The petrol interceptor is a trap used to filter out hydrocarbon pollutants from rainwater runoff. This was installed in the Autumn to ensure swale is sufficiently protected from site activities when drainage becomes live and site activities increases.
