All businesses operating to ISO14001 need to implement an EMS which will address fire water containment planning. We have worked with many manufacturing companies in all sectors that are looking to develop a fire water containment policy. Initially clients often start with a simple Drainblok™ system costing a few hundred pounds. As they develop their policy we support them in delivering fully automated Toggleblok™ systems linked to a full site maintenance plan.
Industrial Flooring Company.
The client uses chemical in the process of manufacturing industrial resin floors. The chemicals are unloaded by forklifts into a bunded stores area. During loading and movement of stock a spillage occurred resulting in a pollution release into the surface water drainage. As part of the sites continual ISO14001 environmental policy, the site complete an internal review of procedures.
The review highlighted a need to install a method of containing a 1000ltr IBC spillage.
We were asked by the client to design a solution that could be installed into the existing drainage to shut off the final discharge. Additionally the site wanted a containment valve that would activate as a result of the fire alarm sounding for more than 30 seconds.
We designed and installed a 150mm Toggleblok™ valve system utilising solar power removing the need for any site services. The valve controller was subsequently wired into the fire alarm system by the client.

Testimonials
"I was introduced to Sandfield about six years ago when the company I worked for asked me to look at the installation of some new penstock valves and servicing of our pollution control valves across the group sites. After talking to Sandfield and meeting their engineers we gave Sandfield our UK service contract.
We then went on to install Toggleblok valves as we were impressed by how it all worked with a minimum amount of civil work required in most instances.
I have recommended Sandfield Penstock Solutions' Toggleblok to many companies over the last few years. They have a very professional and effective approach to water and waste control systems."
"County Drains have been working with Sandfield for many years.
We have found their knowledge of the Environmental Regulations a benefit to our customers and the products to prevent pollution are second to none."
"Sandfield supply our Company with superior quality equipment and their engineering knowledge has been invaluable during the development of our products. More importantly Sandfield support us by adapting to the many challenging requests we give them and the tight delivery schedules we ask of them."
"Working with Sandfield allowed us to use existing site topography and drainage systems to maximise emergency containment on site, creating meaningful quick response scenario’s which are easily communicated to, and understood by regulatory bodies, emergency services and on site staff. We now satisfy our legal duties set out in our operational permit and under COMAH regulations.
During site operation we have confidence that we are able to cope with emergency situations around the clock. Sandfield Penstock Solutions have installed systems, which are not overly complicated and allow for rapid troubleshooting when faults are found during routine testing and planning for alternative arrangements when issues occur."
"Great product, great installation, what more can I say?"
