Fiberglass Rail Car Spill Containment System The StarTrack® system is an impressive, heavy-duty, railcar containment system engineered to meet specific requirements in either permanent or temporary applications. StarTrack® is surface mounted, and can be installed without moving rails. |

StarTrack® systems are manufactured from high strength, corrosion resistant fiberglass. Each system consists of sets of three, low profile, 4" high x 20' long pans. A complete set protects a section of track 20' long by 10' wide. The center pan contains approximately 250 gallons. The two outrigger pans provide approximately 125 gallons each. | |||
|
120' of track, 10' wide, with 6" collector system feeding spills to a 22,000 gallon holding pond for effective spill control. |

| Each
of the six sections (pictured above) consists of three, low profile,
20' long by 4" high pans. A center pan for containment between
the tracks, and two outrigger pans for containment to both sides of
the track. Three sets of pans, 60' feet, will contain a standard rail
tanker car. Each of the pans in a three pan set, is connected to the other two pans via a 6" manifold system which carries spilled material to one side of the track. There a six inch pipe running parallel to the track carries the spill into a holding pond for processing.. The only site disruption is the laying of the 6" manifold between the rail ties every 20'. In almost every case rail ties do not have to be moved. The STAR TRACK® pans are surface mounted on top of the ties and under the rail crown. Disregarding weather hold-ups the actual installation for this project took approximately two days to complete. Installation may be completed by the customers staff or by Polystar's technicians. |

| Each of the three StarTrack® pans which form a 20' section, may be used independently as drip collector pans. Or, the pans may function as a secondary containment system when the pans are connected with one another via a collector trough (8" wide x 12" deep x 10' long sump) which fits snugly underneath and perpendicular to the three pans. Recent designs incorporate a six inch manifold system in place of the collector trough. | ||||
 |
||||
| Six
inch drain ports, centered in each pan, allow spilled fluids to quickly
flow from all three pans in to the collector trough. A 4" drain
port, located at one end of the collector trough allows captured fluids
to flow to a collection pipe running parallel to the track. Multiple
20' long STAR TRACK® systems may be sited in line to accomodate longer
requirements for multiple railcars. Note: Three sets of Star Track® pans are required to protect the track under an average 60' rail tanker. First time installation are usually completed by PolyStar's trained technicians. However, future additions can easily be completed by your own maintenance staff or a private contractor. |

| TOUGH NEW REGUALTIONS mandate installation of spill containment measures for most rail TankCar loading & unloading operations. The Star Track® system features rugged fiberglass composite construction to form three (3) containment basins on the outside and inside of each rail to catch spilled material before it hits the ground or enters a sewer system. These basins can be equiped with a drainage system which flows to a large holding tank to handle the really big spills. This state-of-the-art spill control solution complies with local, state, and federal requirements. | ||||
