The problem at Haxby
 
The solution at Haxby
 
The result at Haxby
 
Haxby village, 4 miles north of York, has a history of problems with the drainage network due, in part, to a concentration of Hot Food Catering outlets. Yorkshire Water has provided drainage clearance works on a regular basis and over a number of years, removing the build up of fat, oil and grease. Yorkshire Water required a solution to this problem which was causing serious disruption and cost.
 
FS Engineering has been contracted to provide Fatstrippa FOG separation equipment to six catering outlets and to clear the ambient drains. The following account details the works under-taken and the early results of Fatstrippa network protection. The red lines marked on the site plans show the approximate positions of drains that were cleared.

FS Engineering & Towncentre Restaurants
 
Building relationships is the core of our business

 

The relationship between FS engineering Ltd and Towncentre Restaurants started with our senior Regional Sales Manager, Gerald Oliver, making a cold call on the Cafe Giardino in one of the UK premier retail facilities, Bluewater Shopping Centre, Kent. Gerald was fortunate (the harder you work the luckier you get) to meet with Mr Michele Montagna Operations Director who was visiting Bluewater and having discussions with the Bovis Lend-lease Centre management regarding their ongoing drainage issues.

Michele’s wife and Operations Manager, Jane Montagna, has this to say about FSEL and the Fatstrippa product: “ Town Centre Restaurants were first introduced to Fatstrippa in 2005. At the time we were researching the market for a company who would be able to help us resolve our drainage issues and various other problems within our wash up areas. We have since installed 12 units within our estate, and at all of these sites we have been able to eradicate any issues that we were suffering before the units were installed.

Gerald has always been our main contact with Fatstrippa and has constantly given our requests his immediate attention, following through until installation and training has been completed.”

FS Oncall, the new specialist drainage services division of FS Engineering have recently completed major repair and replacement of drainage pipes for Cafe Giardino, The Disney Store and Westfield Regional Shopping Centre, Merryhill, in the West Midlands to the total satisfaction of everyone at Towncentre Restaurants.
