A multi-chambered tank which collects water run-off. They’re typically positioned at key locations on commercial and industrial sites where hazardous materials and by-products can sit on hard surfaces, then be washed into drains by rainfall or spillages. Common sites employing interceptors we visit around our principal service areas of Northampton, Milton Keynes and the broader regions we attend to around our core services of Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Leicestershire include:
Car Parks
Garages
Petrol Stations
Roads
Oil & Fuel Storage Depots
Factories
Car Washes
Logistics Parks
Often described as the final line in drain defence, they look to prevent contaminates passing from commercial or industrial sites into sewage systems, where they can prove a serious environmental hazard and public health issue. By “intercepting” water flow, they allow these contaminates, such as silts and oil, to sink to the bottom of the tank. Lighter contaminates float to the top of the water, and a pipe sits between the two levels to allow the de-contaminated water to freely pass on into your drains.
Due to the essential role they fulfil within a properly functioning drain system, clients around Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Leicestershire whose sites have need for interceptors must keep them well maintained. Northants Waste Control, based in Northampton and covering all nearby locations such as Milton Keynes, specialises in this work. We use our powerful 20k-30k gallon pump trucks to safely empty interceptors of all captured pollutants, before cleaning them out to restore optimal functionality. The aforementioned pollutants are then carefully processed and disposed of in accordance with advice from the Environment Agency.
We can carry out cleaning of interceptors and general maintenance as part of commercial maintenance programs, which we carefully draw up and carry out for corporate clients in and around the aforementioned areas of Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Leicestershire. We can also conduct these tasks on a “one-off” basis. Typically, specialists recommend cleaning of interceptors every 3 to 6 months. However, we can provide more precise advice should you contact us and detail your circumstances and usage.
