Case Study - Manufacturing Site
Background
Up to 5,000 litre of gasoil was lost to ground at a large industrial site and Oracle were contacted to investigate the loss. Oracle mobilised a team to respond within 30 minutes to attend the site the same afternoon.
Containment measure were deployed in a balancing pond on site and initial investigations identified gas oil pooling around the foundations of an on-site warehouse and within the site drainage.
Response Works
Oracle mobilised a pneumatic oil-water recovery system next day to begin immediate recovery of gas oil from around the affected building and within the drainage system to mitigate the risk to the balancing pond the the watercourses beyond.
The system treated a total of 219,000 litres and recovered approximately 3,145 litres of gas oil.
Outcome
The rapid mobilisation, mitigation and deployment of an automated treatment system prevented impacts to the wide environment and limited the liability for the site operator.
