Compact, Easy to Install & Remove, Use & Maintain, Relocate & Reuse
The Solution For Dense Urban Environments
Both landfills and recycling plants often see high levels of traffic from a variety of vehicles including garbage trucks, haul trucks, and standard pickup trucks which are used to deliver material to the site.
Landfill Haul Roads
FODS Installed on landfill haul road to provide vehicle trackout control.
The haul roads on the site are occasionally rerouted when material builds in one location. While material is compacted or processed, new deliveries may need to be routed through another haul road. The haul roads are vital to ensuring that materials are accessible to the process. In many cases, operators implement trackout control mechanisms on these haul roads to prevent vehicle from tracking contaminated soil from interior haul roads onto active roadways. Haul roads may be permanent or temporary, and either paved or unpaved so a variety of trackout control solutions are used.
Recycling Plant Access Points
FODS installed on New York Recycling Plant to replace wheel wash.
Similar to landfills, recycling plants are often taking in construction debris, hazardous compounds, and other materials which must be safely processed. To ensure that contaminants are not tracked out of the site on vehicle tires, site operators implement effective control mechanisms.
Landfill and Recycling Plant Trackout Control BMPs
Besides traditional aggregate entrances, landfills and recycling plants often use wheel wash stations to clean vehicle tires. These wheel wash stations require a water source, a power source and a proper sediment basin to capture run off.
Compared to traditional aggregate techniques, FODS Trackout Control Mats are both effective and portable allowing operators the flexibility to maintain proper erosion controls during changing traffic patterns.
The use of FODS on landfills and recycling plants has proven benefits to site operators. The portable system can be easily relocated and does not require a source of water or power to operate effectively. FODS replaced a wheel wash station on a New York Recycling Plant which resulted in significant reductions in maintenance costs while still providing a durable and portable track out solution.
