Rainwater Harvesting: Save Now For A Summer Scorcher
While the summer of 2023 came narrowly close to stealing the crown from 2022 to become the hottest UK summer on record, the Met Office now predicts that the summer of 2024 could be another record-breaker. Given that we have witnessed exceptionally hot summers for several consecutive years, acting now to install a rainwater harvesting […]
Above Ground Plastic Tanks – and their uses
This popular range of rotationally moulded vertical tanks are manufactured in several different varieties for differing uses. Potable and Non-Potable water – why have different tanks? Potable water, in short, is drinking water. Potable water tanks are designed to be used indoors or outdoors, and therefore to prevent deterioration of the water quality, they need […]
See it at LAMMA24 – Steel Fuel Dispensing Tanks
Featured – 5000 litre Bunded Steel Fuel Dispensing Tank Storage and safe dispensing of diesel fuel (or indeed HVO) is critical for many types of businesses. But this isn’t all – security is often a very important factor as fuel thefts are by no means uncommon. Then there’s the environmental risk should a tank be […]

Rainwater Harvesting Systems Nothing new in the concept. For hundreds of years people have collected rainwater off roofs and stored it in some form of container to re-use. Not only is this environmentally a good idea, but it also saves money on mains water supply costs. If rainwater can be harvested and stored during wet […]
Autumn is here – time to check your oil tanks
Whether you use kerosene, diesel or HVO for heating commercial warehouse space heaters, grain dryers, timber dryers, or domestic boilers, you will almost certainly have an oil tank on site. These humble tanks, often taken for granted, do need checking and maintenance from time to time especially in the commercial, industrial or agricultural sectors. What’s […]
Fuel storage and dispensing – latest news
Government defers ban on oil heating On 20th September the UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, gave a speech which made some sweeping changes to the timeline of carbon reduction targets. One of the most significant was the fact that oil boilers will still be available up to 2035, for off-grid homes. And even then, you […]
HVO storage and dispensing
In the light of increased pressure on businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and improve their environmental standards, it is worth looking at HVO as an alternative to standard diesel. Unfortunately in the UK it isn’t yet readily available at fuel stations, but it is available generally for bulk delivery, so our fuel storage and […]
Sectional Steel Tanks explained
How does it work? As the name implies, these tanks are constructed on site from preformed steel sections. They are basically the same construction as used for agricultural grain, feed or fertiliser silos. Constructed from high quality structural grade steel, they have a heavy duty galvanised coating on both sides to protect against rust for […]
Rainwater harvesting – sustainability
The ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of rainwater harvesting. Harvesting rainwater off the roofs of your buildings is a very easy way to save water, as explained below. As to ‘why’ – well, there are so many reasons why rainwater harvesting is a good idea that we might very well ask, “why not?”. How it works – […]
Fuel Storage Tanks
Fuel storage covers kerosene (otherwise known as heating oil), red diesel, ‘white’ (standard) diesel and HVO, in the main. Some tanks are suitable for petrol storage but because of the flammability of petrol, this is covered by specific regulations. Agricultural and Industrial use Fuel oil is used in many areas to power heaters as well as vehicles. And, of course if you […]
