Not only can spills in railway facilities cause enormous harm to the environment, they can also pose long-term health hazards and possible damage to the railway infrastructure.
In addition to the effects of spill and contamination, the costs and reputational damage caused by such spills can be very expensive and in some cases irrecoverable. Even when care and attention is taken, spills can still occur. This coupled with general leakage from rolling stock can be very difficult to resolve.
The TrackPan system manufactured by Unipart Rail is considered the best available technology offering protection from spills by collecting fluids and substances and then transferring them to a proper waste treatment system. Compared with traditional steel and concrete applications, TrackPan provides an inexpensive and flexible alternative.
Recently, Unipart Rail has secured orders for the range of TrackPan products to cover Heaton, Exeter, Chingford and Sheffield. This comes on top of orders that are installed at Inverness, Aberdeen, Newton Heath and Holyhead.
Product Manager, Chris Elliott says "Companies are now taking their environmental responsibilities very seriously and seek a solution that is quick and easy to fit. The system can even be moved between locations if so required".
