Changes in transportation and handling will also greatly reduce the carbon footprint of the business. The Chippenham site uses 6000 tonnes of recycled material annually and produces enough soil and drain pipe to circle the earth every year.
Speaking about the expansion, His Excellency, Ambassador Ventura said, “It was fantastic to celebrate the investment that a Mexican company, Mexichem, is making in high-tech manufacturing on a global scale. It was a pleasure to open the expansion and witness the positive impact Mexichem’s investment has made to Wavin’s site in Chippenham, enabling the factory to expand and for the company to continue to innovate and support both the industries it serves and the communities it is part of.”
Brent Nichols, Manufacturing Director, Fluent Europe at Wavin, said, “It was an honour to be joined by His Excellency Julián Ventura Valero at the opening of our new site expansion. The facility will streamline our supply chain and improve our service offering to customers. We’re looking forward to seeing the positive impact this investment will have across the Wavin business in years to come.”
Drain Doctor urges homeowners to treat drains
with extreme caution Drains are something we take for granted until they block, causing not only disruption to a home or business, but potential risk of serious injury. Drain Doctor, the UK's largest full service combined commercial and domestic plumbing and drainage organisation, is urging people to be aware of the dangerous hazards they face if they attempt to carry out repairs on their drains.
Pierre Jeannes, Vice-President of Operations for Drain Doctor, said: “Drains are unsavoury places to be around at the best of times, and anyone coming into contact with them, need to treat them with extreme caution and be mindful of the dangers they can bring. Drainage problems, blocked drains and leaks in drain linings can lead to big problems unless they are addressed promptly so we strongly advise homeowners to call in the experts to do the repairs and unblock drains rather than attempting to do it yourself.
“Many people believe the most dangerous thing about drains and sewers is the potent smells that make their way into our homes and streets, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. When household and industrial waste decays in a sewer, it forms one or more gases and some can be highly toxic and cause serious health conditions, even death. Sadly, we have seen a recent increase in serious health condition and fatalities with people overcome by toxic fumes, such as hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide while trying to unblock drains. No-one wants to be at risk of being exposed to gases of this kind.
“Unpleasant smells and pipes backing up is just the start and if you leave them unchecked you and your property could be in danger. By taking precautions
and dealing with problems at an early stage can often ward off the need for more extensive and expensive repairs later on - Drain Doctor can help reduce the chances of blockages happening in the first place.” adds Jeannes.
It is important for homeowners to recognise when to call in the drain experts as they have the expertise and knowledge to deal with all scenarios, along with their professional training and equipment. If you sense there is a blockage, report it, and if it’s on your property, you are responsible.
