Biosecurity
The aftermath of the World Trade Center terrorist attack created environmental cross-contamination and track-out problems similar to those faced today by most landfills, mines and quarries.
Trucks leaving the Ground Zero site as part of the debris removal operation carried asbestos contamination and dirt, and were spreading it all over New York City streets.
The EPA and the environmental contractors doing the clean-up work turned to InterClean to provide tire wash stations for the site.
The real engineering and manufacturing challenge was to complete the task within the allocated time frame. The tire wash systems were due to be operational within three weeks after the first contact by the EPA. This included setting up the buildings with total turnkey installations.
The ground zero tire and wheel wash systems used standard InterClean components and operated in similar fashion to the new InterClean Tire Wash System. The ground zero tire washers were built and installed in record time and washed vehicles in record numbers, over 2,000 each day.
