Fast response

Lanes for Drains’ expertise in
managing contamination
emergencies is being used to protect
natural water courses after a major
factory fire in South Wales. The fire
broke out on 20th September at the
Real Crisp factory on the Pen Y Fan
industrial estate, Crumlin, Caerphilly.

Realising that the fire posed a
major contamination risk, Lanes for
Drains sales manager Damian
Tranter attended the scene while the
60 fire fighters were still tackling the
flames. Following a site inspection, he
was able to give instant advice to the
factory’s management, the Tayto
Group. Within an hour of Tayto
Group’s go-ahead, Lanes for Drains
engineers were on site, sealing the
drains leading from the factory, so no
contaminated water could enter
natural water courses.
