See how Staka-Block™ provided a fast, flexible containment solution across multiple Yorkshire sites, helping operators safely manage materials in challenging site conditions.

The Challenge 

At a site in Naburn, approximately 1,500 tonnes of sludge was being stored on an external pad. During winter months, the material became increasingly difficult to manage, turning to slop and spreading beyond the confines of the storage area. 

This created both operational and environmental concerns, requiring a fast and effective containment solution. 

Similar challenges were also present at Bridlington and Hull, where material needed to be controlled at centrifuge loading points. 

The Solution 

Staka-Block™ interlocking concrete blocks from Naylor Concrete were supplied to create temporary containment walls. 

Thanks to their interlocking design, the blocks were quickly installed using standard site plant, with no need for mortar or specialist installation methods. 

At Naburn, a perimeter wall was constructed to contain the sludge safely within the designated area. The same approach was replicated at additional sites to manage product at key handling points. 

The Outcome 

The use of Staka-Block™ provided an immediate and practical solution: 

• Rapid installation allowed quick response to site conditions 

• Effective containment reduced environmental risk 

• Flexible system enabled easy reconfiguration as needed 

• Reusable blocks offered long-term value beyond a single use 

Following the success of these installations, similar works are now being considered at additional sites.
