Objective

Our client needed a rapid response to an oil spill in their warehouse at Heathrow Airport. With over 15 years of experience and prior experience with cleaning and removing oil from the main terminal at Heathrow, Ideal Response seemed the perfect choice. We were required to limit damage to stock and make safe the affected area.

Our Briefing

As a matter of urgency our instructions were to clean the standing oil and eliminate the risks and hazards posed to the health of the staff and wider environment. It was crucial that we move quickly to minimise disruption to business, contain the spill and prevent it from going outdoors or entering the buildings drainage system, prevent further contamination of stock and to neutralise any odours.

The Technical Part

After lightly spraying the affected area with water we apply our specialist biological oil stain remover, designed specifically for hard surfaces. This is then manually brushed into the affected area, agitating the contaminated surface allowing the biological enzymes to get to work. The mixture of water, oil and enzymes are then removed from the surface using industrial vacuuming equipment and safely contained in a number of IBC’s (Internal Bunded Containers). Under normal circumstances we would use our high heat, low pressure DOFF steam recovery system but due to limitations imposed by sensitive smoke alarms we opted for a cold wash process, which takes slightly longer but is equally effective.
