RSK Raw

It is available 24/7 for domestic spill response services at private residences of liquids such as heating oils, which can involve kerosene and/or oils containing chemicals that can be harmful to health. These can be dealt with in terms of clean-up and remediation to prevent pollution of water, death of wildlife and plants and damage to building structures, with the impact of works within the locality minimised.

Its commercial spill services are provided by a professionally trained team that includes experts in containment, assessment, forensic investigation and clean-up of contaminants, including kerosene, milk, pesticides, fertilisers, fuels, slurry and antifreeze. Services can be carried out across a wide variety of premises, including farms, factories, fuel depots, processing plants, utilities sites and domestic properties. The company’s teams of qualified environmental scientists and dedicated project managers can handle the investigation of any pollution incident, with in-house civils and engineering teams delivering the required remediation works from inception through to completion.

RSK Raw provides additional services such as reviews of premises’ facilities-handling processes to ensure they are in line with current regulations. It can work with landowners or tenants to put plans in place in case a leak or spill happens, can act quickly in the event of an incident, stopping the source of the leak and quickly mobilising appropriate resources to contain and clean up contaminants and limit any spill impacts, minimise the risk of prosecution and reduce future liability.

Its technical team delivers a number of valuable additional services, including health screening, providing expertise in support of legal matters and aiding with compliance in areas such as dust, odours, volatile organic compounds (VOC), noise and vibration. The team is also able to assist with expert witness services, emission control, risk reduction, dust sampling, real-time gas and vapour monitoring, exposure control and regulator and general public liaison.

The business provides on-site treatment of solid and liquid wastes, reducing costs, CO2 and risk. These solutions can be rapidly deployed, saving valuable time and providing the ability to reuse cleaned water or solid waste on-site as non-hazardous waste. Systems and solutions used can treat particularly difficult waste streams, including complex emulsions and waste arising from maintenance operations, such as tank cleaning.
