Drain Closure Device
Our pollution and firewater containment devices are utilised in various spill, firewater, and flood protection scenarios, offering round-the-clock safeguarding against surface water spills throughout the UK. The adaptable design seamlessly integrates into current drainage systems and infrastructure, requiring minimal disruption and cost. The valves are sophisticated stainless steel automated systems that can be activated remotely or locally using mains or solar power. Our control kiosks enable clients to connect our valves with existing BMS, fire alarm systems, oil interceptors, and more. These pollution and firewater containment valves are versatile, fitting on both curved and flat walled chambers, shallow and deep, providing a convenient alternative to manual penstocks.
Firewater Runoff - CIRIA (736)
Fire water runoff refers to the excess water used during firefighting efforts, which can pose significant environmental risks. The water used to combat fires can carry pollutants and hazardous materials, potentially causing harm to the environment if not managed properly. It is crucial to control and contain fire water runoff to prevent pollution and protect surrounding ecosystems.
Business owners are responsible for managing fire water runoff and must have a Fire Prevention Plan in place to address this issue. This plan should outline procedures for collecting, containing, and safely disposing of fire water in case of emergencies. Compliance with regulations such as CIRIA (736) is essential to prevent environmental accidents and ensure safe management of fire water runoff.
To effectively manage the risks associated with fire water runoff, it is important to conduct a thorough assessment of the premises and identify potential contamination sources. Implementing secondary and tertiary containment measures, such as blocked drains or containment areas, can help prevent unwanted water from entering drainage systems or natural water bodies.
Engaging the expertise of environmental and flood risk consultants can provide valuable support in meeting regulatory requirements and avoiding enforcement actions. These professionals can assist in developing a comprehensive Fire Water Management Plan tailored to your site's specific needs, helping to mitigate liabilities and protect the environment.
Having a clear plan in place to manage fire water runoff is essential for safeguarding your business and the surrounding environment. By taking proactive measures to address this issue, you can minimise financial risks, legal issues, and environmental damage, ensuring a sustainable future for your operations.

Bund Water Control Unit || SKU: 1000549 || MPN: PQ-025G || Brand: Darcy
A bund is a secondary containment enclosure constructed around oil (or chemical) storage facilities to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating watercourses. The effectiveness of bunds relies on their watertight design, which leads to the accumulation of rainwater. This rainwater becomes tainted due to everyday drips from the storage facility. It is crucial to remove this polluted rainwater in an environmentally responsible manner to maintain the bund's full capacity for containing significant spills and to prevent oil pollution incidents.
Aquasentry's Bund Water Control Unit serves as a de-watering system designed for areas where rainwater mixed with oil residues can accumulate. This innovative system operates by detecting the distinction between oil and water, then efficiently pumps out the water into the surface water drainage system or a designated soak away area. It achieves a remarkable water removal rate of 145 litres per minute, resulting in a discharge rate of less than 5mg of oil per litre (equivalent to 5 parts per million). This exceptional performance makes the Bund Water Control Unit both safe and highly effective for its intended purpose.
Using conductivity probes, the unit determines the liquid's composition within the sump and triggers the pump to initiate water removal. Once all water is eliminated and only oil remains, the pump automatically stops. This process contributes to cost-effective and efficient waste disposal while safeguarding the bund from deterioration.
Operating tirelessly 365 days a year and 24 hours a day, the unit maintains your bunded area in optimal condition, ensuring it remains dry and free from oil contamination. These units find application in various scenarios, ranging from sub stations and oil bunds to underground lift shafts. They are also adaptable for use within zoned areas.
With the Aquasentry Bund Water Control Unit, your bunds consistently retain their specified 110% capacity, as outlined in PPG 2 regulations. This cutting-edge solution offers a cost-effective approach to de-watering, establishing a best practice standard for the environmental management of your bunded areas.
