Bale Group operates industrial cleaning crews across the South of England and Wales for internal and external cleaning of tanks, areas and spaces, which may be confined, inhospitable and contain suffocating atmospheres.
These crews use high pressure water up to 15,000psi as necessary to clean a multitude of contaminants from many a surface.
All operators are trained and have Confined Space Entry, Breathing Apparatus, Basic First Aid and Basic Fire Fighting qualifications in conjunction with internal Company training. This ensures efficient, professional and above all safe workmanship.
Tanks can be cleaned to varying states ranging from a basic de-sludge of a tank through to complete de-gas including supply of gas-free certificates for hot works.
Industries currently using our services include:
Bale Group support staff will also organise all appropriate disposal for washings, alternative storage while tanks are out of service, safety equipment and paperwork such as Method Statements, Risk Assessments, Permit to Work and Gas free certificates.
Bale Group provide a full 24/7/365 Emergency Pollution Control Response Team for most types of pollution and spillage emergencies, regardless of size or situation. Substances handled include oils, slurries and most acid and alkali solutions.
This service includes incident management, waste extraction, tankering, storage facilities, in-house and external disposal and fully trained clean-up crews to achieve effective damage limitation, clean-up and site restoration.
A full stock of oil/chemical absorbent materials, booms, skimmers, pumps is held at strategic points across the South of England and unique specialist equipment, for example the Mini-Vac Unit and the Flexlines, can be brought in which will cope with most adverse situations.
As an ISAA Level III Freshwater & Land and ISAA Level II Marine accredited company, you can be confident that your emergency will be dealt with quickly, professionally and competently.
For site Heath & Safety, vulnerable sites should be equipped with suitable absorbents and pollution control products to be used in the first instance of a pollution/spillage incident. This will help the control and spread of a pollution drastically reducing environmental and financial impact. To help meet your requirements, Bale Group supply a full range of quality absorbents and pollution control products, and subsequently provide a disposal service for any used absorbents.
Bale Group deals with all types of small packaged/bottled and drummed chemicals from laboratory smalls to IBC'S of waste chemicals, out of date products or off-specification batches.
Our support staff will complete the Duty of Care Transfer Notes, Hazardous Waste Consignment Note documentation and can organise the listing, packaging, labelling, transport and disposal facilities.
Bale Group can also supply a fully trained chemist to go to site to identify waste chemicals if Data Sheets/Labels have been lost, mislaid or just no records can be found. This is particularly useful when sites are taken over by new owners/managers and no records have been left.
