Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Whale Tankers has supplied combined jetting and gully emptiers to two large French companies: water cleansing operatives Compagnie Generale des Eaux, and vehicle hire specialist Via Environnement. The orders follow a sustained sales drive which included opening an office in northern France, and establishing continental service support.

Both cmptiers are mounted on Renault chassis and have 4,000-litre sludge and 5,000litre clean water, dualcompartment tanks. Each tank has a plunger-type jetting pump capable of delivering up to 2631it/min at 155 bar, and of clearing sewers in excess of a metre in diameter.

Whale Mistral 650

exhausters with swept volumes of 650m3/hr operate via 125mm-diameter gully arms.

Whale has recently expanded its manufacturing capacity by 20% with the addition of new production and service bays in a move which is expected to cut lead times to six weeks.

The enlarged plant is on a 56.6ha green-field site which it shares with the company's wildlife conservation area.
