2. The Challenge
The Guidance for Pollution Prevention legislation is designed to
prevent the pollution of watercourses. To do this it is
recommended forecourt interceptor and drainage be maintained
on a periodic basis.
A large independent forecourt retailer with multiple sites,,
approached Adler and Allan to provide a combination of
routine interceptor and drainage maintenance as well as
ad hoc environmental work on half of its sites.

3. Our Response
We provide a regular program of service and maintenance of the
interceptors and drainage across all the sites. Using our fleet of
vacuum tankers, jetting tankers and vehicles, as well as CCTV we
routinely inspect, clean, service and remediate the interceptor and
drainage infrastructure.
Depending on the location of interceptors we sometimes have to
close part of the forecourt due to H&S considerations to the public.
Usually, this is only for a short period of time as we always work with
onsite staff to minimise site disruption.
As well as this routine maintenance we also provide a wealth of ad
hoc environmental work for their underground fuel storage:
 Annual vapour recovery testing
 Fuel sampling and tank testing
 Generic pipework maintenance
We also use our new AdlerView™, a non-man entry, ATEX Zone 1
device for remote tank cleaning and visual inspections of fuel tanks
across 100 sites.
Finally, our civils team have recently installed some new jet washes in
conjunction with the electrical team who are the approved contractor
for electrical work and have been contracted to install data cabling to
the new jet washes.

4. The Outcome
Forecourt PPM
Our program of ad hoc and routine maintenance ensures their
assets remain clean, operational and compliant.
Partnering with Adler and Allan means that this forecourt retailer
meets its annual guidance requirement. When we leave site all
moving and mechanical parts are working, and all drainage is
running clean and free.

5. The Adler and Allan Difference
It is the depth and breadth of our equipment and experience that
sets us apart from other environmental companies. We have 22
locations nationwide with tanker and jetting facilities and three
waste depots. Our personnel are trained and hold the correct
jetting certificate. We can react quickly to spillages and interceptor
issues. All our clients are also provided with one point of contact in
our contracts team who manage all their routine and ad hoc
requests which means we can coordinate an immediate and joined
up response from any division or depot.
