Concrete washout can be managed through a variety of methods, but the most effective and environmentally responsible approach is to use concrete washout containers.
Here are the steps involved in pump truck washouts using concrete washout containers:
- Install the concrete washout container at the job site, in a location that is easily accessible for trucks and equipment.
- Direct concrete trucks and equipment to the washout container, ensuring that all washout water and solid waste are captured within the container.
- Avoid overfilling the washout container by monitoring the level of waste inside and scheduling pick-up and replacement of the container when necessary.
- Keep the washout container covered when not in use to prevent rainwater from entering and overflowing the container.
- Schedule regular maintenance and cleaning of the container to ensure that it remains in good condition and functions effectively.
- Dispose of the waste in an environmentally responsible manner, such as through a licensed waste disposal facility or recycling center.
