SECONDARY CONTAINMENT SPILL PREVENTION AT 8 RAILYARDS COST/BENEFITS

50,000 lb reinforced precast concrete underflow weir boxes and bases were fabricated at Remtech's facility in Atlanta and shipped up to 600 miles. The pre-fabricated boxes were lowered into excavations inside trench boxes. Fabrication of precast structures was considerably less expensive than forming and installing onsite.
