Concrete Washout
The washout water from a concrete truck is highly caustic and high in pH. It kills plants, animals and vegetation. Once it gets into the water table or storm water systems, it can render water unfit for human consumption and activities such as swimming.
Frontier Solutions has designed a simple, effective method for capturing washout water onsite. This program may also provide LEED® points for resource recovery of concrete solids and washout water.
The program, called Con-Tain, solves washout compliance problems with four simple steps:
- A washout container is placed on the construction site.
- Cement trucks drive up to wash out into the container. The container can accommodate up to four trucks at one time, with a total of 75-100 washouts.
- The liquid in the container can be drawn off several times while concrete solids accumulate. The liquid is processed at a waste-water treatment facility.
- When the container is full of solids, the container is removed so that the solids can be processed and recycled.
Frontier Solutions is certified for Liquid Industrial Hauling through the State of Michigan.
