Bund Maintenance and Relining Service
To ensure bund integrity, imperviousness to liquid contents and that they form an effective part of the PIRP, it is essential that they are inspected regularly and that any defects identified in the bund wall or lining are repaired promptly. It is imperative that any draw-off or fill pipes that pass through the bund wall are adequately sealed. It is also important that they are regularly emptied and cleaned to maintain the bund capacity.
We offer a full range of bund maintenance packages, which include:
Inspection and cleaning
Surface decontamination
Bund wall and substrate repairs
Bund wall and substrate preparation
Bund specific sealing and coating systems
Separator alarm installation and servicing
European Standards EN858-1 recommends that separators are fitted with an alarm that warns of excessive liquid levels, and for the alarm to be fitted, tested, commissioned and services by a competent installer. Our highly experienced and qualified installation and electrical engineers install, maintain and service separators and separator alarms. Be PPG3 compliant, prevent pollution and minimise costs by managing your separators and alarms effectively.
Separator Servicing
It is essential that separators are regularly maintained, even if an oil level alarm has been installed. You should not wait until the alarm is activated before a separator is serviced. The system requires regular maintenance, calibration, and servicing by a competent technician, to reduce the risk of a pollution incident.
Darcy Spillcare Manufacture has devised a comprehensive range of separator services to ensure your units are maintained and operational for the purpose for which they were installed. Our services are based on the requirements detailed in the maintenance sections of the Environment
Agencys PPG3 document and the European Standard EN 858-2 (copies available upon request). All of our services are carried out by experienced engineers, who will provide you with an appropriate maintenance service record sheet, with a log register for each separator.

Full maintenance of on-site liquid storage tanks. From full site upgrade programs in line with Oil Storage Regulations 2001 and PPG2 to tank cleaning and decommission, if you store bulk fuels and chemicals, Darcy provides an extensive range of tank services to ensure environmental compliance.
Pollution Incident Response Planning
Most industrial sites have the potential to pollute. Pollution can cause significant harm to human health and the environment, the effects of which may persist for decades. The clean-up costs and legal implications can be costly.
As a result sites which are deemed to present the greatest potential risk of polluting have a statutory obligation to formulate site specific plans to prevent or mitigate damage caused by pollution incidents. To assist companies achieve the objectives and requirements of the Pollution Prevention Guidance, we offer a wide range of services, including:
Site specific Pollution Incident Response Plan (PIRP) formulation or guidance
Update of existing PIRP
Full range of pollution prevention equipment
Spill response equipment and kits
Pollution prevention and spill response training
Remediation Services
Whether you are undertaking an environmental audit on land or are considering the sale or purchase of land it is vital that you take all necessary steps to understand the condition of the land in question. Contaminated land can have a significant environmental impact whether as a result of industrial activity over a number of years, a single incident or from a series of undetected incidents. Residual contamination can present risks to both environmental and human receptors. The Darcy Spillcare Manufacture team of geo-environmental specialists and chemists are ideally placed to provide an assessment of the broader environmental impacts of the contamination and if necessary recommend, design and implement a remediation strategy.
Spill Impact Assessment
However large or small, spills and leaks can have a significant environmental impact whether as a result of a single incident or from a series of undetected incidents, residual contamination can present risks to both environmental and human receptors. The Darcy Spillcare Manufacture team of geo-environmental specialists and chemists are ideally placed to provide an assessment of the broader environmental impacts of an incident and if necessary recommend, design and implement a remediation strategy.
Spill Training Courses
Major pollution incidents can in many cases be prevented if appropriate pollution prevention measures are taken at an early stage. Planning is the key to success, and both preventative measures and incident response strategies need to be carefully addressed. Environment Agency (EA)
Regular spill response training and spill control exercises are essential to ensure that key staff understand their responsibility for site safety, spill control and environmental protection. Key staff should be familiar with emergency planning, drainage systems and all staff should have access to important telephone numbers such as the Emergency Services and local Environment Agency.
Your spill responders are your most valuable asset in ensuring protection of your site and the environment from pollution incidents. As legislation changes and enhancements are made in spill prevention products it is critical that spill responders and environmental officers are aware of this. Darcy has developed a range of spill control training courses in line with customer demand. Our courses can be undertaken on site or at our training facilities across the UK. We also offer bespoke training courses. Our courses cover oil spill response training, chemical spill response training, combined oil and chemical spill response training and inland spill response training.
