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.
