TrackPan – Sustainable innovation for the railway

To have the ability to create and maintain a sustainable rail network for the future, it is important to source and implement sustainable solutions that reduce negative impacts on the environment. This is where the TrackPan system can help.

Reduce environmental impacts and costs

Spills and planned discharge from hand washing in railway facilities to the ground cause enormous harm to the environment and can also pose long-term health hazards and damage to the railway infrastructure. In addition, the costs and reputational damage caused can be very expensive and in some cases irrecoverable – you can even be prosecuted!

The TrackPan system, manufactured by Unipart Rail offers protection by collecting fluids and substances and then transferring them to a proper waste treatment system. Compared with traditional steel and concrete applications, TrackPan provides an inexpensive and flexible alternative.

By using TrackPan, our customers can significantly reduce the risk of costly clean-ups and regulatory fines as well as reducing negative environmental impacts.

 

An adaptable, modular system

Our solution can be put into service within hours of delivery –  all assembly hardware is supplied and the pans simply bolt down to the existing railway sleepers. It also has the flexibility to be relocated to another location if depot operations change. Each unit is manufactured to provide the maximum self-containing capacity whilst adhering to railway clearance standards.

The modular system allows additional sections to be added or reconfigured. If a section becomes damaged its construction means that only the damaged sections need to be replaced.

Unipart Rail is committed to managing our operations in a way that is sustainable and environmentally sound. We apply our Unipart Way philosophy, tools and techniques to continuously improve operational efficiency and environmental performance and this commitment is reflected in our products and solutions.
