POST-DERAILMENT & POST-INCIDENT RESPONSE
After a derailment is “over” and the rail line is re-opened for traffic, there’s usually still a lot of work to be done including cleaning up the site and remediating environmental damages caused by a derailment. Regardless of the products spilled, TCCI has the trained and experienced staff to respond with the right equipment for your job. We can complete the clean-up, loading, hauling, and disposal of the spilled products. We can also complete final site restoration.
LOAD ADJUSTMENTS & LOAD REDUCTIONS
Rail cars and semi-trailers must be appropriately balanced and securely fastened for safe and legal transportation. Loads may need to be adjusted if they have shifted during transport and become dangerous, or loads may need to be reduced if too much product is loaded or for other reasons.
At TCCI, we have experience safely adjusting and properly securing various types loads to minimize damage and mitigate hazards. We also have experience reducing loads of excess product and transferring it to another car or storage facility or to a disposal location. We own and operate multiple types of equipment often required for load adjustments and load reductions including excavators, skid steers, forklifts, boom trucks, vacuum trucks, conveyor, dump trailers, dump truck, low-pressure steam unit, etc.
YARD & TRACK CLEANING, LAND CLEARING
TCCI assists railroad engineering and operations departments by utilizing both a yard cleaner and hi-rail vacuum trucks to cleanup commodities spilled during normal switching operations. We help eliminate slip, trip, and fall hazards as well as improve day-to-day yard conditions for safe track inspections and work.
SPILL RESPONSE & CLEAN UP
While most spills are preventable, if the unexpected occurs, it’s important to act fast and take action to reduce or prevent damage to people, property, and the environment.
At TCCI, we been providing spill response and clean up services to various industries, including the pipeline industry for more than 25 years and the railroad industry for approximately 5 years.
