EA’S PPG18: MANAGING FIRE WATER AND MAJOR SPILLAGES

In the event of a pollution spill, it is imperative to stop the flow of hazardous materials from leaving your industrial site immediately before it enters the external environment.

Our Flapstopper water pollution containment devices are specifically designed to defend clients and create compliance with the EA’s PPG18 and CIRIA c736 guidelines for UK businesses.

CIRIA C736: CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS FOR THE PREVENTION OF POLLUTION 2014

Businesses must comply with the appropriate legislation. Adoption of recognised standards like CIRIA C736 will enable operators to demonstrate they are doing everything reasonably practicable to reduce risk in relation to pollution spills.

From sites with just one tank, to large chemical sites with multiple storage units, CIRIA C736 sets out clear advice on the implementation of a detailed risk assessment and classification system for automated emergency containment systems, i.e. our Flapstopper Pollution & Firewater Containment Valves, and how secondary and tertiary containment systems should be planned, designed, and built.
