When a client reports a large-scale fuel leak from an active filling station, swift action is crucial, and that's exactly what we delivered.

The Challenge

In November last year, we were notified of the loss of several thousand litres of unleaded fuel from an underground storage tank. Time was critical, and the potential environmental impact was significant.

The Solution

The Outcome

Owning and operating our own drilling equipment allowed us to respond rapidly, ensuring no delays. Additionally, with our in-house hydrocarbon laboratory, we completed soil and groundwater testing within 24 hours, providing fast and reliable data.

Our prompt response helped minimise environmental impact and enabled the client to manage the situation effectively. Ongoing assessment work continues, but early intervention was key in controlling the incident.
