Contractor Barhale used 'plant nappy' to capture contaminating oils at water reservoir

Thames Water has trialled a plant nappy at Walthamstow Reservoirs. A tunnel inspection scheme required the pumping out of a reservoir, and the nappies have been used to prevent leaks entering the reservoir. With water supply reservoirs, there are very tight restrictions associated with the risks from oil and fuel spills.

Key points


鈥� The plant nappy is designed to support good housekeeping by containing small leaks and spills.
鈥� They are not a replacement for bunding or secondary containment such as drip trays.

Contractor: Barhale. Plant Nappy supplier: BCS
