PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT WITH IPS COLLECTOR PANS

IPS Collector Pans are a system of steel pans and cross drains which are easily installed on new or existing tracks to collect pollutants such as spilled diesel fuel, greases, chemicals and toxic liquids. IPS Collector Pans are ideal for use around fueling stations, tank car loading and unloading areas, and washing and cleaning operations.

IPS Engineering meets the challenges of specific projects by conducting a detailed survey and creating design drawings for customized pans. As a result, the pans match the existing geometry precisely and minimize field cutting during installation.

The IPS collector system provides full pan protection for the area between and outside the rails. Cross drains are installed between the ties and at right angles to the pans to carry wastes and rainwater into underground drains and tanks for treatment.

Features:

• Rugged and long-lasting

• Designed to optimize track coverage and maximize protection against spills

• Can be designed to accommodate curves, frogs, or other idiosyncrasies for any location

Rails: Older and Bigger Than You Thought

Before diesel or electric, before even the steam engine, the predecessor of our modern railways was built in ancient Greece. In roughly 600 B.C. deep grooves were carved directly into limestone to keep carts ‘tracked’ in place while carrying boats across the Corinthian Isthmus; these were pulled by men and animals for over 600 years. Since then throughout the world with heavier loads came the necessity of stronger materials for the rails, better engineering for the carts, wheels, and axles, and with the advent of Steam, finally a better engine. 250 years after the first modern railways, the Rail is still one of the world’s most trusted and reliable transport systems, still being improved, still the most energy-efficient, and still growing - and IPS is proud to be a part and supporter of that history. In North America (2011) just under 1.5 MILLION railcars moved 2.5 BILLION tons of cargo – 42% of all intercity freight – and we are here to keep it moving!
