Chemring Australia is based in Lara, Victoria. Due to its rural location, the facility is not connected to mains water. To reduce its environmental impact, the team collects and utilises rainwater on-site in preference to trucking water onto the site. Greg Kilpatrick, HSE Manager Chemring Australia, shares more about the scheme and its environmental and safety benefits: “Rainwater that lands on our buildings flows to collection tanks. The overflow from these tanks is pumped to our fire services building, where it is treated (filtered and UV stabilised), then redirected back to our site buildings. There, it is used for our manufacturing processes, cleaning, sewage treatment, emergency showers/eyewash stations, and our HVAC humidifiers.”
