Flood situation. How are we securing our plant in Wrocław?

Safety is our absolute priority, which is why we have implemented a number of safeguards. Although the list of measures is extensive, we are providing the most important ones for full transparency:

• Preparation of flood barriers – we have already used 70 tonnes of sand for water protection, which amounts to over 2,000 sandbags, additionally reinforced with special fabric.
• Relocation of PWT 70 warehouse – the contents of the PWT 70 warehouse have been relocated to protect the goods from damage.
• Relocation of manual assembly by the Maintenance Department from the former chemical division to the production hall.
• Securing the warehouse – organising the storage of goods and materials at higher levels to minimize the risk of damage in the event of flooding in lower areas
• Preparation and clearing of areas around the site – clearing and removing unsecured items to prevent them from being displaced.
• Contamination prevention – moving the manufacturing components to higher levels to minimise any potential contact with water.
• Constant inspection of systems and installations for draining rainwater from the site – including regular checks and cleaning of manholes, drains, and gutters to ensure they are unobstructed.
• Support from the R5PL team and the Volunteer Fire Brigade from Kożuchów – including the involvement of additional teams from our logistics centre
• Protecting the environment and ensuring safe spaces for wildlife – preparing areas on-site where wildlife can seek refuge in the event of flooding
• Redirecting as many employees as possible to work from home tomorrow (19th-20th September) to reduce the number of people and vehicles on the company premises.
• Preparing backup energy sources and securing data and IT equipment – ensuring continuity of operations and communication.

All the work is coordinated by our Crisis Management Team.
