IMPROVEMENTS
IMPROVEMENTS Purchased catch trays
these are placed under the sampling port on the vehicle.
They are also be used to empty pipes when silo blockages occur.
Catch tray under silo ports
This contains any pellets lost whilst hooking and unhooking vehicle pipe work.
IMPROVEMENTS In 2015 all Silo pipe work was upgraded from flexi pipe to metal solid pipework. No leaks experienced as yet. Deep clean the silos. Fitted skirting underneath the silo ring to contain/control spillages.
IMPROVEMENTS Information posted in Silo area
for the team and vehicle drivers to maintain awareness.
Use of air lines to blow pellets around is not allowed.
High risk drains fitted with rubber sheeting to contain any loose pellets and prevent them from entering the drains. Making it easier to clean up any spills.
IMPROVEMENTS Silo connection ports have been enclosed to prevent wide spread pellets loss in a connection fails under loading.
Allowing for a quicker and easier containment and clean up.
Fitted mesh screens over drains directly opposite silo loading point. Allows water through but catches the pellets.
IMPROVEMENTS Installed a vacuum in the Silo area to allow the drivers and team member to clean up any spills quickly.
Fitted mesh screens over bunded drains by the silo loading point. Allows water through but catches the pellets. Fit internal catch tray in larger open drains that lead to site effluent plant.
IMPROVEMENTS Drains are deep cleaned on an annual basis. A road sweeper is used every fortnight to sweep the silo delivery ports and surrounding areas. The inside of the silos are inspected monthly for pipe work security to detect any potential risk before a problem occurs. A Donaldson dust extraction system is used to remove any dust from the system allowing to be prevented from entering the atmosphere.
