A biological storage silo exploded at the factory in Avonmus in

More than four years have passed since an explosion in a water cleaning factory killed four workers, 16-year-old disciples. No official explanation has been released yet.

The BBC Wist has now revealed reports that they have expressed serious concern about the situation in part of the site, long before the incident.

“If these reports are even half the right, it was an event that was waiting for it to happen,” an industrial expert said.

According to the unidentified agreement, the two leaked reports submitted to the BBC about the safety of the Wavex Water Factory near Bristol.

Five years before the storage tank explosion Michael James, 64, Brian Vikeri, 63, Rimond White, 57, and Locke Wittton, 16, were killed in December

Reports focus on “a completely exploding mixture”, “serious threat to employees” and the smell of gas that are so strong that writers have claimed that they cannot stay in the area to complete their report.

“The control of the reinforcement process in the place” and the issues identified according to reports – produced about 11 years ago – “haired”. The reports are related to a different part of the site from which the blast occurred.

The area is processed, pouring hard and biogas, and producing a type of foot.

Reports, written by a consultant brought in 2014 and 2015 to evaluate the site, have warned Wesex Waters about safety concerns across the factory, including digestion, gas carriers and biogas pipelines.

Both reports clearly poured the risk of explosion.

The author, who also spoke to the BBC, said he wanted to make his discoveries in general because he had twice tried to contact the health and safety director (HSE) but had no response.

“I think it could have been prevented,” he said.

The areas covered by the reports are different from the silo that erupted in 2020, but the author of the reports, experienced consultants in the industry industry, said he was concerned about the large parts of the site.

“From the beginning of the factory to the detention tank, the entire biogas system was dangerous,” he said.

Some of the reports, along with sentences that have been highlighted. He says leaking from the gas curtain, with a panel mixes with the air. "a complete explosive blesh".

One of the reports claimed to have leaked from a gas curtain, with a fan mixed with the air, could create a “complete explosive bleshing” mixture.

Criminal investigation by Avon and Somer police It was dropped in July. The spokesman said the evidence collected had not reached a “very high level for prosecution” for deliberate killing.

Meanwhile, families and colleagues continue to wait for the answers because HSE has not yet been able to publish its findings, which is unlikely to be before July this year.

The author of the reports came forward to the BBC’s research team, saying he was unhappy after his tests in 2014 and 2015 for a family member to work there.

“Four years ago, I thought… there would be a kind of closure for families,” he said.

Police investigation overturned in July

The reports are very technical and in 2014 and 2015 have raised a number of safety problems.

  • A bio dom with gas leaks, ie a fan had to be stored regularly, to create a “complete explosive rotate mixture” that the pancre is a source of Ignation’s potential.
  • A strong gas scent around the digestive tank ceiling, so the authors have said they cannot stay in the area to complete their report.
  • pressure and bird screens, with some valves that “very small size”
  • Gas may go around the place incorrectly due to the incomplete measuring device.

Another concern that hydrogen sulfide is not secreted by the report, which the report described as a “serious threat to employees. H2s It is a toxic gas that can be deadly with high density.

“It was not only an explosive climate, but also the toxic climate caused by the vents of the Valve.

“Any gas rebels will create a dangerous environment or a dangerous environment.

Part of the text from the report with the sentence. One of them says: "Continuously raising values. The issue of non-compliance with EA is to allow and waste a lot of biogases. Creating a serious threat to employees due to high level H2S".

Reports on the BBC claim that large amounts of biogas are virtually ventilated in the area, posing a “serious threat to staff.

There are also reports that none of the ships they watched were accompanied by flames – safety equipment made to stop the flames of fires.

While some industrial experts consider them essential, others believe they are not always necessary and have no legal commitment to fit with them.

“I think all the dragons should have a flames,” the author says.

“The industry seems to be against it, but catching the flame… preventing the water from taking the water into the ship and causing a major explosion.

The BBC has failed to see if the Weax water in 2015 took a reform of the warning and the explosion in 2020.

In January 2024, three years after the explosion, the director of health and safety served the company with a improvement warning.

“The operator has not been able to show… He has taken all necessary measures to prevent major events and limit their consequences,” he said.

“The main policy of preventing events does not solve the necessary measures and the main elements of the system of management systems.

In response, Wexex Water said the notice was “not related to the reports” and that HSE was “approved” in the company’s actions and confirmed compliance on February 9,

The Wexix water plant treats dirty water, while biogas and biosolids, which can be used as a footprint.

The authors confirmed that his discoveries were in partnership with the management of the Weather Water in 2014/1

“I don’t think they have made an assessment… on the full system from the beginning to the end,” he said.

He believes the high level of gas was produced in the suspension tank that exploded, which may have been on fire on the day of the incident.

Many industrial industrial figures and water workers refused to comment openly for fear of jeopardizing future work in an industry with few employers.

One of them, who investigated the reports, but on condition that he did not want to be named, said: “I look at this and think I don’t want to run this plant.

“The number of gases out of gas is terrible. If these reports are even half the right, it was an incident that awaited it.

‘The wrong standard’

Another source who knows Avonmus well said safety problems in the industry were widely known before the blast.

“You feel that all the water industry works with the wrong standard,” he said.

“We always thought he would be one of the other water companies (which would be a disaster there) but that was us.

He said safety in the years following the deadly explosion had improved impressively.

The CEO of Health and Safety has said he cannot comment on the BBC’s findings because his investigation remains “life”

Professor Cliford Jones believes the stored biosoled dust was the cause of the possibility of the blast

The exact cause of the blast has not yet been revealed.

But Professor Cliford Jones, a scarfth of the University of Chester, said a dust could be understood by a spark.

“Maybe there was a place above the high dust silo.

“Mitan, which was there (the explosion) would be even stronger.

For the families of those who have lost their lives, society in Avonmus and the water industry is wider, waiting for the answers in the hope of an end to the end of this year’s HSE.
