Environmental Surveys

Protect Your Business & The Surrounding Environment

BMS understand that the management of fluid handling installations (Fuels, Chemicals, etc), forms a small part of the many pressing tasks facing site management these days.

Compliance with environmental legislation is paramount, but without a full understanding of the many regulations, this can prove a daunting and time-consuming task. This is why we offer a full environmental audit service using the Environment Agency Guidance document PPG2 as our yardstick and are able to issue full Environmental Surveys of Installations to DEFRA and PPG Standards. Our engineer will visit your site and carry out a full environmental survey of your fuel storage and dispensing facility, following which a detailed report will be submitted outlining any areas where we believe the installation falls short of the required standards or where we think improvements should be considered. This report can then be integrated into your overall environmental risk assessment or form part of your improvement plan.

Amongst the many considerations taken into account when carrying out an environmental audit are the position of the tank in relation to waterways & boreholes etc, adequacy of tank bunds, containment of spillage at the fill points, accurate stock measurement, overfill prevention and the suitability of pipework and pumping systems.

Environmental audits can be included as part of a comprehensive service contract or carried out on an ad-hoc basis.
