Aviation fuel supplier requires 24 hour security drainage containment system

Problem

The aprons of the airfield were at risk from major spills of aviation fuel as well as in the event of a major Fire incident at the airport and the resultant Fire Water Run off would need to be contained before being tested by the relevant authorities and released or pumped in to holding tanks for further treatment.

Solution

To activate a system which would contain all liquids within the drainage system provided the necessary site security system to contain any liquid run off from the runways and other key areas. Bladders were inserted into Five strategic drain locations and the cabinets located in easy to access areas for activaltion.

Benefit

They are now able to provide 24 hour security for the drains at the airport and in the event of either a spill of pollutant of any kind or in the event of a Fire, are able to shut off the drains and therefore avoid any liquids from entering the surrounding ground water. The site also operates a spill response team who are able to deal with contained spillages safely and effectively. In addition the Fire Brigade are able to shut down the site in the event of any major incident and deal with the fire Water Run off in a contained environment.
