Nel contesto dei siti contaminati, ogni operazione di movimentazione deve essere eseguita con la massima attenzione per evitare la dispersione di sostanze nocive. In questi ambienti critici, l’adozione di un lavaruote professionale non è solo una buona prassi: è una necessità.

Ecco 5 motivi tecnici e operativi per cui un lavaruote fa la differenza – e 2 motivi per cui non puoi farne a meno se vuoi lavorare in sicurezza, nel rispetto delle normative e dell’ambiente.

✅ 1. Evita la contaminazione del suolo esterno
Un veicolo che esce da un sito contaminato trasporta su pneumatici e sottoscocca materiale pericoloso. Senza un sistema di lavaggio automatico, questo materiale finisce su strade pubbliche, cantieri limitrofi o aree verdi, generando diffusione incontrollata di agenti inquinanti.

✅ 2. Rispetta la normativa ambientale
Le autorizzazioni per operare in siti inquinati (ex SIN, bonifiche, discariche industriali) spesso richiedono l’uso di sistemi di lavaggio automatici per i mezzi in entrata e uscita. I lavaruote Tecnoter sono progettati per rispettare le più recenti normative ambientali e i requisiti dei piani di caratterizzazione e bonifica.

✅ 3. Migliora la sicurezza operativa
Fango, detriti e sostanze tossiche sui pneumatici possono causare incidenti, rendendo scivolose le rampe o le aree di carico. Un lavaruote installato correttamente riduce questi rischi, proteggendo operatori e mezzi.

✅ 4. Ottimizza i tempi: lavaggio automatico in pochi secondi
Un lavaruote professionale funziona in modo automatico e rapido: il mezzo entra, viene riconosciuto e lavato in pochi secondi, senza fermare la produttività del sito. Dimentica le inefficienze del lavaggio manuale.

✅ 5. Sistema a ricircolo: meno acqua, più sostenibilità
I lavaruote Tecnoter per siti contaminati includono sistemi di filtraggio e ricircolo, per ridurre drasticamente l’uso di acqua e contenere i costi. Un vantaggio concreto in ambienti dove ogni risorsa va gestita al meglio.

2 motivi per cui non puoi farne a meno:

❗ 1. Eviti sanzioni e blocchi amministrativi
Le autorità ambientali non tollerano la dispersione di sostanze pericolose. Un lavaruote correttamente installato e funzionante ti protegge da multe, sospensioni di cantiere e denunce penali.

❗ 2. Dimostri impegno e responsabilità ambientale
Sempre più appalti pubblici e committenti privati valutano le imprese anche in base ai comportamenti sostenibili. Avere un lavaruote in funzione in un sito sensibile ti posiziona come azienda seria, aggiornata e responsabile.

Operare in un sito contaminato senza un sistema lavaruote efficiente è un rischio – economico, legale e ambientale. I sistemi Tecnoter Group sono progettati per offrire prestazioni affidabili, facilità d’installazione e manutenzione ridotta, anche nei contesti più complessi.

Zero impact demolition with the smart spray and the mobile wall filter

tecnoter — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 22:55:30 +0000

Recycling of materials has increased demolition operations. However, if on the one hand the demolitions favor the environment, on the other they create dangerous dust. For zero impact demolitions it is necessary to use suitable dust suppression systems.

Recycling in construction: it's good for the environment and for your company

The importance of recycling in construction has finally been understood and recycling is the main reason why demolitions have had a significant boost in recent years.

Demolishing a building to build a new one in its place is the optimal and necessary solution to contain land consumption (avoiding the exploitation of green areas), to promote building redevelopment and urban regeneration.

Another advantage of building recycling consists in the fact that reusing waste is also convenient, because everything that is reused also becomes a real source of income (as happens for the ferrous waste we talked about in this article).

Recycling is therefore convenient on several fronts, both for the environment and for the budget.

Demolition and dust

However, if on the one hand the disposal of old buildings is beneficial for the environment, on the other it creates a further problem: dust.

Each demolition operation generates dusts of different granulometry, which are dangerous for various reasons (especially in summer, as we have seen here):

for the health of the operators: dust could cause serious damage to the respiratory system if inhaled, or compromise vision if it comes into contact with the eyes of the operators
for the health and livability of people who live or work in structures adjacent to the demolition site
for visibility on site: without adequate visibility, production decreases and the time to complete the work lengthens
for machinery: dust is a concrete enemy for the proper functioning of construction site machinery, it reduces their average life and subject them to stresses that favor their wear

Zero impact demolition: dust suppression systems

To overcome this problem, dust suppression systems are a solution that is as practical as it is effective: these are systems that atomise water around the processing space. The nebulized water simply weighs down the dust particles (of different granularity), causing them to fall to the ground.

However, it is necessary to choose the most suitable system for the single process and for the spaces, open or closed. In case you talk about

demolition
drilling
mobile and fixed crushing

the recommended dust suppression systems are integrated into a host machine (they are not independent structures such as cannons for dust control).

Zero impact demolition: Tecnoter smart spray and mobile part filter

Tecnoter’s dust reduction systems for demolition are absolutely revolutionary in terms of technology and fields of application.

For example, perfect for drilling, when in the tunnel the presence of dusty residues dispersed in the air generates considerable risks for the health of workers and significant reductions in the profitability of the project, the “mobile wall filter” generated by the Tecnoter dust reduction system ensures excellent results in terms of economical use and adaptability to the perforated material.

The adoption of the Tecnoter dust reduction system on a mobile crushing system, on the other hand, with the use of an external tank of only 500 liters and the adoption of the “smart spray” operating mode allows total autonomy of the crusher for several days and exceptionally low water consumption.

These systems make demolitions zero impact, guaranteeing safety for operators, continuity for work, reduced water consumption and an important help for the planet.

The purpose of Tecnoter’s engineering study is to design solutions that can concretely solve the problems of the construction site deriving from the generation of dust, promoting visibility, health, environmental abatement and the performance of the construction site itself.

Dust control: safety on construction site during summer

tecnoter — Mon, 26 Jul 2021 15:22:06 +0000

One of the greatest risks to the health of operators on construction site derives from the dust produced during construction processes. In summer with the sultry climate, it is necessary to act promptly with adequate dust control systems to minimize the dangers.

What is construction site dust, how it is produced and what dangers it generates

On site, demolition and finishing operations, as well as most of the materials used, such as steel when grinding or wood when sanded, produce dust. Other materials are already present in this form, such as gypsum, sand, concrete. For this reason, dust management should not be underestimated (as unfortunately often happens). Dust is really annoying during work as it reduces visibility and requires you to allocate time and equipment to cleaning the areas where it is deposited. In addition, it also damages the operating and measuring instruments, increasing the risk factors in the construction site itself, to the detriment of its safety. If it is composed of toxic or noxious substances and if it comes into contact with the eyes or skin of the operators (and in the case of particularly windy moments, even of the inhabitants of the areas bordering the construction site …) it can cause irritation or burns. Not to mention the particles of such small size (with a diameter between 0.1 and 100 microns) that they can also be inhaled, such as inert dusts, the danger of which goes as far as the risk of compromising respiratory capacity or the development of tumors.

Risk assessment and solutions: dust control systems in the summer

The saying “better to be safe than sorry” is also perfectly suited to construction work and the risk assessment phase must also embrace the risk deriving from the production of dust.

The first step, of course, is to reduce the exposure of operators to dust (even if only by providing adequate areas for the treatment of materials or by supplying materials already treated in a place other than the construction site).

The second step involves adequate controls both from an engineering and an administrative point of view. The solution that solves these two problems is provided by dust control systems. Dust control systems are an immediate as well as ingenious solution for dust management: they are wetting systems for materials or water nebulization, so that the dust particles, weighed down by the action of water, cannot be carried or lifted by any air currents.

In summer, when the hot and poorly ventilated climate could make dust a real unbreathable hood where it becomes impossible to work, it is even more important to set up dust suppression systems, also to lower high temperatures.

Tecnoter dust reduction systems: innovation on the machine

There are different types of dust reduction systems that Tecnoter makes available to its customers, all suited to the specific needs of noise and area to be treated.

The traditional dust suppression systems of the ECO and CUBE series: compact, economical and efficient “cannons” for small and medium-sized areas. They offer great silence and versatility, perfect for reducing dust generated by heaps of material, the treatment of post-crushing aggregates, dust reduction along driveways (roads, tunnels, quarries, etc.) and dust control in closed environments.

Dust control systems on the machine.
They are divided into two categories:

Systems in the tip arm for excavators, useful in case of
– demolition at height (they reduce the amount of water used, increase the operator’s visibility, block the generation of dust at height which is more carried by the wind
– use of hollow front hammers (they increase the life of the hammer by not allowing dust to enter inside it, damaging the bush and the striking mass)
– use in tunnels (they improve the air quality, reduce the spreading on the ground thus making the environment better for the workers, increase the life of the hammer for the same reason mentioned above)
Dust suppression systems for shovels and skid loaders:
– they nebulize a small amount of water near the wheels or tracks of the operating machine, reducing the generation of dust caused by its transit
– they reduce the spreading and the use of water
– they do not allow water to stagnate in the work area, creating slippery and impractical areas
– they nebulize precisely, with great control over the direction of the water.

But these are just some of the available versions. You can find out more on this page, or you can contact us to ask for more information on Tecnoter dust suppression systems.
