They are very difficult to handle and they fill with rainwater rendering them useless.
Fosse Liquitrol in collaboration with Balfour Beatty have developed a Site Plant Nappy for containing the oil spills of generators, kangas and other site plant and machinery which is portable (weighs 1.5 kg), self draining (filtering out oil and fuel and allowing clean water to pass) and is hardwearing.
The Site Plant Nappy (1.1 metres x 0.8m) is manufactured from Plasticotta Tear Resistant Fabric with filter pads (50cm x 50cm) which are specially designed to catch oil and allows water to pass.
Each filter pad will absorb up to 3 litres of oil before it requires replacement.
The Site Plant Nappy has been developed, tried and tested on Balfour Beatty Rail Construction sites under arduous conditions and it has stood very hard wear.
The Site Plant Nappy complete with filter pad is GBP77 with a pack of 5 replacement filter pads costing GBP17.50.
