We provide environmental services for factories, manufacturing plants, warehouses, process areas and storage yards. Industrial sites change as processes, materials and equipment change, so the environmental position needs to reflect the actual operation rather than a generic description of the premises.
Environmental Services for Industrial Sites
Environmental work for active industrial sites where processes, materials and equipment can change the compliance position.
Environmental Services for Industrial Sites enquiry
Current operations
Environmental controls assessed against the processes and materials actually in use.
Waste and discharges
Classification, storage, drainage and discharge arrangements reviewed for the relevant activity.
Process change
Environmental implications considered when equipment, materials or throughput change.
Environmental controls on operating sites
We compare the current operation with the permits, consents and environmental controls that apply. New equipment, increased throughput or different raw materials can change emissions, waste or trade effluent even when the site’s documents still describe the previous process, so the authorisation is checked against what is actually operating.
Waste, discharges and pollution risks
Waste and process water need accurate descriptions and suitable destinations. Drainage routes also matter because an accidental release can move beyond the production area. Trade effluent consent applies to process discharge to the public sewer, not to a watercourse or ground. Waste classification and receiving-site acceptance are separate decisions, so one test result should not be used as a substitute for the other.

Industrial safety and environmental work
Environmental work on an active industrial site must fit the site’s own safety controls and the hazards of the substances involved. The linked HSE COSHH guidance provides HSE information on substances hazardous to health; it does not replace the environmental assessment required for a permit, waste, drainage or land issue.
Compliance findings and priorities
Findings distinguish immediate control problems from documentation gaps and longer-term improvements. Site management can then address the most significant environmental issue first and record the action taken.
Environmental Services for Industrial Sites: common questions
Can a process change affect an existing permit or consent?
Yes. The change should be checked against the authorised activity, limits and conditions before it is assumed to be covered.
Can a drainage plan be relied on if the site has changed?
Only after it is checked against the current installation. Alterations can create different drainage routes from those shown on older drawings.
Does non-hazardous waste need classification and duty-of-care information?
Yes. Non-hazardous waste still needs an accurate description and an authorised collection and receiving route.
Can environmental work be carried out during production?
Sometimes. The method must fit the process hazards, access and the site's own safety controls.
