The worst has happened! There is a major oil spillage on site. It does not matter what the exact cause was; a pipeline seal ruptured, a joint failed, a tank wall collapsed, it makes no difference. Thousands of gallons of oil are now flowing out upon the ground like whiskey, contaminating the facility and surrounding land and water. There is the omnipresent danger of fire which can turn this catastrophe into a major disaster. Also, the real possibility of multi-million dollar litigation as well as state and federal investigation looms on the horizon. This is a situation which needs to go away as quickly as possible.
ORI Environmental is the company’s best bet for this sort of large-scale Emergency Spill Response in Kansas. ORI’s trained professional staff can respond to any emergency in twenty-four hours maximum, bringing with them a fleet of specialized vehicles and equipment to immediately begin the cleanup process on the ground while engineers work to seal the source of the rupture. While the leak itself is being brought under control, containment of the spillage becomes the next priority. The spillage zone is cordoned off and high-capacity pumps are deployed to begin the process of oil recovery. The spilled material is rapidly transferred to holding tank containers brought on-site while the actual cleanup and removal of contaminated materials begins. When the leak is finally sealed off, and the excess oil floating on the ground is cleared away, the next step is to remove oil-saturated soil and decontaminate all surrounding areas and surfaces. ORI’s engineers are trained in all aspects of spill area cleanup, contaminant management, and post-disaster inspection and evaluation. At the same time, all collected materials are hauled away to special facilities for storage and recycling or ultimate disposal, in accordance with the relevant EPA as well as state environmental regulatory agency mandates. ORI’s professional staff consultants work with company management and engineers to identify the source of the disaster, potential future hazards, and advises on the best methods to prevent any future accidental discharge of this type.
