In 2018 this large warehouse / logistics business experienced a problem with water in one of its fuel tanks that led to 25 customer vehicles breaking down. They called Adler and Allan to investigate. We visited the site to clean the tank and polish the fuel and gave the site a clean bill of health. Following this incident the client tasked us to suggest a solution to stop this situation happening again. We proposed a planned regime of cleaning and testing and are now contracted to manage their entire fuel infrastructure.

2. The Challenge
In 2018 they experienced a problem with water in one of its fuel
tanks that led to 25 customer vehicles breaking down. They called
Adler and Allan to investigate.
We visited the site to clean the tank and polish the fuel and gave
the site a clean bill of health.
Following this incident the client tasked us to suggest a solution to
stop this situation happening again. We proposed a planned
regime of cleaning and testing and are now contracted to manage
their entire fuel infrastructure.
This large warehousing / logistics business has a number
of distribution centres nationwide with large assets that
require maintenance.

3. Our Response
We provide a regular program of service and maintenance of the
interceptors and drainage across all sites. Using our fleet of vacuum
tankers, jetting tankers and vehicles, as well as CCTV we routinely
inspect, and change the filter on all interceptors.
As well as this routine maintenance we also provide additional ad hoc
environmental work for their over ground fuel storage including:
 Fuel sampling and tank testing
 Generic pipework maintenance
 Annual OFTEC oil storage audits
We also use our new AdlerView™, a non-man entry, ATEX Zone 1
device for remote tank cleaning and visual inspections of their fuel
tanks including vehicle fuel storage and generator tanks, as well as
gas oil tanks for sprinklers and boilers.
We have also recently completed the installation of a new fuel tank at
one of their distribution centres, moving their underground fuel
storage tanks above ground to reduce the risk of fuel contamination.

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 client 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
We provide a one stop shop for this client to access all their fuel
infrastructure maintenance services from one trusted partner. The
depth and breadth of our equipment and experience 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.
