Washout pans are essential on-site equipment and EPA best practice management to collect concrete washout water and solids that runoff from washing truck chutes and pump truck hoppers at construction sites. Collecting the washout water prevents contamination of soil surface and ground water, and allows the wash water to be reclaimed or re-used. Concrete pouring, truck washing, and tool washing results in the production waste slurries and wash water. Concrete slurries and wash waters typically have a high pH of around 12 standard units. They can also contain heavy metals. Both pH and heavy metals can be dangerous to aquatic life. If wash water is dumped onto the soil surface, it can leach into and contaminate lakes, rivers and streams.
Truck chutes, pump hoppers and tools can be washed in the container, which will hold the liquids and solids until reclaimed. This Washout Pan is also leakproof to ensure containment of washout. It also features high-quality Pewag rated D-rings, providing exceptionally strong lifting points. These D-rings swivel 180 degrees, allowing for connection at the desired position. Additionally, the D-rings also provide secure tie-down points when transporting one or more washout pans. Up to 9 units can be transported or stored together with this washout pan’s stackable design.
