At
Waste By Rail, Inc., we realize that each project is generally
site-specific and we work hand-in-hand with our clients to
provide for and plan the most economical and efficient
solutions for their waste management and transportation
requirements.
Waste
By Rail Inc. has demonstrated cost effective treatment and
stabilization of contaminated dredge materials, and showed
that the stabilized dredge sediments can be effectively used
in construction projects without a negative impact to the
environment. We employ typical construction type equipment to
complete the work and to operate in a manner that would be
typical of a large-scale sediment stabilization project.
For example, contaminated dredge material from harbors and
river estuaries has the potential to impact the environment
through groundwater or soil contamination if it is simply
deposited "as dredged" on land.
In
addition, raw dredge material is generally not suitable for
immediate use as structural fill for harbor area construction
projects and the previous practice of offshore disposal of
contaminated dredge material is no longer acceptable.
Some of Southern California's harbors and river estuaries
contain dredge sediments that are contaminated with various
toxic metal and organic chemicals.
This
mixing head attachment was designed and built by WBR to blend
stabilizing reagents with dredge sediments, pond sludges and
any other type of contaminated slurry. The reagents used for
this test program were formulated for the specific
constituents within the sediments to be stabilized or
processed. The mixing head used has the unique ability to
thoroughly blend reagents by propelling the viscous sediment
and reagent mixture vertically, from top to bottom, through
the rotating mixer, thus insuring that all particulates of the
sediments are introduced to the reagent formula. This allows
for maximum binding or encapsulation of the sediment
particulates.
The WBR mixing head was designed to operate
between 0-300 rpm and can move in both vertical and horizontal
directions throughout the cell. It is of paramount importance
that the mixing mechanism generates sufficient agitation to
blend the entire batch of sediments with the reagent formula.
The WBR mixer has the ability to re-distribute sediments
within a barge or mixing cell in a manner that promotes the
consistent blending of all reagents and sediments throughout
the barge or cell. This re-distribution of sediments was
achieved by moving the mixing head left, right, vertically or
horizontally, creating a blending action throughout the cell
area.

We would be happy to an in-depth
presentation regarding our services provided by ECDC/Waste By
Rail, Inc. This will afford you the opportunity to discuss in
detail how our customized comprehensive waste management,
transportation, and disposal services may be utilized to your
advantage during the planning and implementation of your
projects.
Some Recent Projects Involving Transportation and Disposal of Waste
Materials:
- Square D Corporation site remediation project in
Beaumont, California. Project involved the treating of
approximately 40,000 cubic yards of RCRA Hazardous soil
contaminated copper and lead, with cement-based reagents. The
successful treatment of the impacted soil allowed the waste to
be disposed of at the ECDC landfill in Utah as a Non
Hazardous/Non RCRA waste.
- Southern Pacific Railroad/M&N Metals site
remediation project in Los Angeles, California. Treatment of
approximately 12,000 tons of RCRA Hazardous, lead
contaminated, automobile shredder residue and soil with
cement-based reagents. The successful treatment of lead
impacted soil allowed the waste material to be disposed of at
the ECDC landfill as a Non Hazardous/Non RCRA.
