Environmental compliance is no longer just about ticking boxes. Regulators, investors and the public now expect real, measurable action to protect water quality and the environment.
When things go wrong, the consequences are serious not only for ecosystems, but for reputations and balance sheets.
Recent cases like Thames Water’s £3.3 million fine for pollution of the Gatwick Stream and River Mole show how even a single incident can lead to years of scrutiny.
The cost of prevention is small and the technology to support it is more advanced than ever.
The reality is that most pollution events do not start with a dramatic spill. They begin quietly: a slow leak from a tank, a blocked interceptor, a misconnected drain. By the time the signs are visible, it is often too late. That’s why early detection is key. Facilities Managers should pay close attention to:
A structured monitoring and maintenance plan does not just reduce risk, it demonstrates accountability and leadership.
At Andel, we have spent over three decades helping businesses protect their sites, assets and the environment.
From smart leak detection and sump monitoring to pollution control systems and cloud-based reporting, our technology gives facility managers the visibility and control they need in real time.
Automated alerts, detailed reporting and 24/7 monitoring mean you are never in the dark. Whether it is preventing a small oil leak or managing a large industrial site, our systems provide the reassurance that comes with knowing your operation is always one step ahead.
The best environmental strategies are built on insight. Data from monitoring systems can reveal patterns: a rise in sump levels, frequent alarms in one particular zone, or seasonal variations. When analysed and acted upon, that information drives smarter maintenance, reduces downtime, and keeps your site compliant with ISO 14001 and Environment Agency guidelines. It is not just about avoiding incidents; it is about continuous improvement and long-term sustainability.
The message is clear: pollution prevention is not just good practice; it is good business. With stronger regulation, greater public awareness and higher environmental expectations, the industries that thrive will be those that act proactively.
At Andel, we are proud to help organisations across the UK and around the world take control of their environmental impact. Our intelligent leak detection, pollution control and monitoring systems give Facilities Managers confidence, clarity and complete visibility.

Because when it comes to water, every drop and every decision matters.
