Avoiding the long afternoon

What are strategies you have/use to deal with/help students who all of a sudden (or slowly, gradually, all afternoon) find themselves with 30 minutes left in a lab period, with 2 hours of work left to do.  How do you head this off, especially in a large lab section?  How do you deal with it once its too late?
