Spill Containment for the Railroad Industry

Ultra-Track Pans®

Capture hazardous spills from railroad tanker cars and locomotives

Ultra-Track Pans have been designed to provide spill containment at industrial rail sidings, locomotive maintenance, and fueling facilities.

Available in virtually any length, Ultra-Track Pans may be used to collect small spills and leaks OR to capture and channel off significant spills caused by defective equipment or a major overflow.

  • Prevent costly cleanup and regulatory fines.
  • Slip-resistant design.
  • All polyethylene (LLDPE) construction — Rugged Track Pans
    withstand harsh chemicals and are designed to function
    in temperatures ranging from -40° F to +140° F.
  • Sealed System — Polyethylene gaskets† keep spills from
    falling between the rails and Pans.
  • Trucks and other vehicles can drive over Track Pans with
    grates in place.*
  • Economical and easy to install

* To drive over Track Pans, firm footing must be beneath the Pans; also must “ramp up” to Side Pans with asphalt or concrete.

† Polyethylene gaskets are used from most applications. Viton gaskets are available for crude oil applications. See website for more details.

Flow-through channels — All Pans are connected “end-to-end” with bulkhead fittings, and a 3-inch diameter flow-through channel, allowing spills to quickly travel from one Pan to the next.

Closed-cell, polyethylene (LLDPE) gaskets are
installed to provide a seal between the pans and rails (gaskets are provided).

Side Pans are secured in place with 24” rebar fasteners. Typical installs require two pieces of rebar per Side Pan.

Ultra-Track Pans®

Composite Model

Modular, 20-foot spill containment pans share containment, providing unlimited capacity

The composite model Ultra-Track Pan has been designed to provide railroad spill containment at industrial rail sidings and locomotive maintenance facilities. The twenty-foot-long Pans can be connected and used for spill control for everything from small drips during maintenance to catastrophic spills from tanker cars.

  • Modular, composite system – can be built and designed to almost any length depending on spill containment requirements.
  • Easy installation – minimal site preparation (no excavation) required.
  • Constructed with high strength, non-porous, corrosion-resistant fiberglass for years of reliable service.
  • Low profile: 20’ long x 4 7/8” high
  • Pandrol compatible
  • Railside gasket sealing system—prevents spills from leaking between Track Pans and rails.
  • Ultra-Track Pans may be used independently or connected to other pans via an optional drainage manifold.
  • Drainage manifold comes standard with a clean-out port to allow for removal of sludge blockages, etc. Installation requires half the ballast
    excavation of others ensuring tie foundation
    integrity.

System shown includes one Center Pan (Part# 7200) and two Side Pans (Part# 7210)

Optional flow-through technology increases containment capacity for larger spills while minimizing the cleanup of smaller spills.

Optional polyethylene (LLDPE) grating package available for safer foot traffic

Optional rail side gaskets prevent leaking between rails and Track Pans.
