PROBLEM

Remtech was authorized by a major railroad to construct secondary containment and pollution prevention and control systems at railyards in eight states.

SOLUTION

Pollution prevention and secondary containment facilities constructed or installed by Remtech consisted of:

➣ Earth/Rock Containment and Contact Water Diversion Swales

➣ New Manholes & Connecting Piping

➣ Concrete Containment Dikes, Curbs & Headwalls

➣ Stormwater Containment Underflow Weirs with Automated Sluice Gates

➣ Footings and Columns for Overhead Fuel Pipe Bridges

➣ Split Casing Secondary Containment Piping

➣ Automated Fuel Control Valves with Leak Detection

➣ Hydrocarbon Sensors

➣ Control Valves & Pumps

➣ Protective Bollards & Access Grates

➣ Bank Stabilization & Erosion Control

➣ Protective Coatings

COST/BENEFITS

50,000 lb reinforced precast concrete underflow weir boxes and bases were fabricated at Remtech's facility in Atlanta and shipped up to 600 miles. The pre-fabricated boxes were lowered into excavations inside trench boxes. Fabrication of pre-cast structures was considerably less expensive than

forming and installing onsite.
