Sustainability on construction sites: how to reduce the environmental impact of heavy equipment

tecnoter — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 13:28:17 +0000

Sustainability is a growing priority in the construction industry, where the intensive use of heavy equipment can have a significant impact on the environment. For companies engaged in construction projects, reducing emissions and responsibly managing resources has become a strategic objective. Tecnoter Group is actively committed to providing environmentally friendly solutions for construction sites, developing equipment designed to reduce environmental impact without compromising operational efficiency.

1. Wheel washing systems for the reduction of environmental contamination

One of Tecnoter Group’s main contributions to sustainability on construction sites is represented by wheel washers. These systems are essential to keep vehicles clean and prevent mud and debris from being transported off the construction site, contaminating the surrounding streets and urban areas.

How do Tecnoter wheel washers work? With a lot of technology and a lot of study behind them: they automatically wash the wheels of vehicles leaving the construction site, removing debris and contaminants.
They reduce rainwater pollution and prevent clogging of sewer systems.
They prevent dust and particles from being dispersed into the air, improving air quality near the construction site.
Tecnoter wheel washers use low water consumption technologies, ensuring an environmentally efficient operation. These systems also help reduce the costs associated with street cleaning and minimize the overall environmental impact of construction projects.

2. Eco-friendly washing bases for equipment maintenance

Tecnoter washing bases are another key solution for promoting sustainability on construction sites. Designed for the complete washing of heavy equipment, these bases prevent the dispersion of oils and other pollutants into the surrounding environment, protecting the soil and groundwater.

Tecnoter washing bases have many advantages:

They are equipped with advanced filtering systems that separate and treat harmful substances before discharging the water, preventing environmental contamination.
They allow the water used for washing to be recycled, drastically reducing water consumption.
They offer a thorough cleaning of equipment, preventing the accumulation of harmful residues that could compromise the performance of the machinery.
Thanks to these features, Tecnoter washing bases are an ideal choice for companies that want to maintain a high level of maintenance of their equipment, while reducing their environmental impact.

3. Permanent hydraulic magnets: eco-friendly solutions for ferrous waste collection

One of Tecnoter’s most significant innovations in the ecological equipment sector are permanent hydraulic magnets. These tools are designed to collect and separate ferrous materials on construction sites, reducing metal waste and promoting recycling.

The environmental benefits of permanent hydraulic magnets come from the fact that they do not require electrical energy, operating only with hydraulic force, thus reducing energy consumption.

They facilitate the collection of metal waste on construction sites, contributing to the recovery and recycling of materials that would otherwise be dispersed in the environment.
They increase safety on construction sites, eliminating the risks associated with metal fragments scattered on the ground.
Tecnoter’s hydraulic magnets support the circular economy, contributing to the recycling of precious resources and reducing the need for new raw materials, with a positive impact on both the environment and on company costs.

4. Tecnoter's commitment to a sustainable future

The adoption of sustainable technologies is not only a matter of environmental responsibility, but also a strategic opportunity for companies in the construction sector. Reducing the ecological impact of heavy equipment not only improves the corporate image, but also allows you to save on operating costs and comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.

Companies that want to show that they are actively committed to reducing environmental impact without sacrificing productivity, rely on Tecnoter Group.

tecnoter — Sun, 14 May 2023 17:32:55 +0000

We participated with our Tecnoter stand at Samoter: a boom in visitors to deal with

Samoter: the trade fair and the news

Samoter is the international trade fair for the construction machinery sector. We talk about it in this article, where we highlight the importance that the fair wanted to dedicate to the digital transformation process of companies, especially in the construction sector. The “digital construction site” is in fact the answer to the continuous technological transformations that the construction sector is undergoing, because it not only allows you to keep up with the times, but increases safety in the processes in which human operators are involved, optimizes of production and promotes environmental protection.
The success was tangible: with the participation of 536 exhibiting companies, the fair saw over 40,000 visitors from 91 different countries.
Such a success that it has already led to the planning of the next edition: the 31st edition of Samoter just ended on 7 May 2023, the 32nd edition has already been confirmed for the period from 6 to 9 May 2026, again in Verona.

At the Tecnoter stand, the Next Gen 4.0 wheel washers for Samoter

We at Tecnoter participated for the first time as exhibitors at the fair for its entire duration, from 3 to 7 May 2023. Our stand P3 in pavilion 10 was the protagonist of the curiosity of many visitors who came to discover the products we have chosen to present.
These are Tecnoter’s Next Gen 4.0 wheel washers, unique in their kind for being already predisposed for interconnection with company management systems: this means that they can be managed by company management software without the need to overturn the computer program of companies.
For our first participation in this very important event, we have chosen the Tecnoter Next Gen 4.0 wheel washers because we strongly support Samoter and its organizers in encouraging an increasingly solid but careful use of technology and because, as we tell in this article, these wheel washers are able to bring safety on site to a new level and to save resources both during their use and during periodic checks (they need almost no maintenance).

Boom of visitors at the Tecnoter stand during Samoter

Precisely because of this operational effectiveness of Tecnoter wheel washers, our stand was recognized as one of the most revolutionary and innovative of its kind and many visitors approached us curiously. These were days of intense and engaging activity, which saw a fruitful discussion and an interesting exchange of knowledge of great professional value.
We welcomed hundreds of visitors: those who didn’t know us wanted to fully discover the potential of these professional, versatile, easy to transport and install wheel washing systems. Those who knew us came to reiterate their appreciation for our work and the great passion that we put into engineering research every day to conceive products and solutions that are always in step with the times and above all close to the needs of companies in the sector.
It is with this positive spirit that we want to thank those who were there and enthusiastically discovered our vision of the future in the construction machinery sector and appreciated the products we exhibited, capable of satisfying the demands of a competent clientele who wants be more and more competitive.

Tecnoter for World Water Day: water recycling with wheel washers

tecnoter — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 23:14:58 +0000

Tecnoter encourages the sustainable management of water resources by designing wheel washers that allow companies to improve their energy efficiency.

World Water Day and its importance for the future

It was December 22, 1992 when the United Nations General Assembly declared March 22 as World Water Day. From 22 March of the following year, World Water Day is thus celebrated, a day on which the United Nations invites its members to promote concrete activities to reduce the consequences of the problems linked above all to access to fresh water, as well as excessive consumption of water and the sustainability of aquatic habitats. A day dedicated to the promotion of awareness and information activities, through documentaries and seminars, conferences and round tables aimed at allowing States to become operationally effective in the conservation and development of hydrological resources.
The support of water resources is of vital importance and it is not superfluous to remember it: the global water crisis is a fact and UNESCO and the United Nations Agency have had to act concretely to “educate” the states (as well as the political ) to the use of tools to formulate and implement sustainable hydrological policies.
This is not a day of remembrance, but 24 hours of pure education: the survival of tomorrow’s humanity depends in part on how much we can learn today, both as individuals and as corporate voice bearers, with the power to produce right methods to recalibrate the use of the planet’s resources and to promote them also in less developed countries. This year specifically, World Water Day is focused on accelerating change to solve the water and sanitation crisis.

Tecnoter and environmental sustainability: water recycling with eco-sustainable wheel washers

Tecnoter has always designed to optimize. Never as in recent years has it been important to develop new technologies that would allow the reduction of waste and the recycling of the resources used, from energy to water. Tecnoter encourages the sustainable management of water resources by designing industrial machines that allow companies to improve their energy efficiency and in turn become spokesmen for eco-sustainability.
The pandemic that hit the world in 2020 led the company in particular to invest in research for the development of a new technology, the best on the market in terms of chemical and mechanical decontamination, which was truly effective and without waste. It then adapted this technology to specific products for the depollution and disinfection of vehicles, both industrial and private, and of closed environments, both large and small.
The first decontamination systems produced by Tecnoter are the E series wheel washers, suitable for every need related to the transit of industrial and private vehicles that pass through contaminated sites of different types, from construction sites to animal farms. These wheel washers are modular and adaptable to specific needs (the “simple” car decontamination, asbestos filtration, reduction of pollutants from wastewater) and are effective in treating vans, trucks and tracked vehicles.
Most importantly, the E Series wheel washers are able to reuse the washing fluid in percentages higher than 95%.
Parallel to the wheel washers, to treat small and large environments instead, it has produced zero-emission sanitization systems, based on different technologies (micronization, dual technology, ozone) to sanitize environments effectively and completely.

TcConnect: the Tecnoter software that helps sustainability

To make the intervention in favor of the environment even more immediate and promote it to companies, Tecnoter has also made the wheel washers manageable remotely: TcConnect is the online platform that allows companies’ management software to be implemented with the machine management system, in order to have full control wherever you are and at any time, without having to replace or overturn the already tested company systems. The goal, which is the company’s mission, is to promote a technology that can be used by everyone, quickly and without difficulty.

Aggregate management: the new parameter for professionals on construction site

tecnoter — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 08:56:42 +0000

A sign of sophisticated planning

The aggregate management on construction sites has become the new yardstick for the skills of construction site professionals: knowing how to manage waste, finding alternatives to waste disposal and new forms of smart recycling are signs of sophisticated planning.

Alternatives to waste disposal and smart recycling: a sign of high professionalism

Valuing waste resulting from construction or demolition is becoming not only a way to approach recycling and the environment, but also to demonstrate high design skills. The inclusion of activities dedicated to handling, alternatives to waste disposal and smart recycling is in fact a point that must be discussed already in the very early stages of design. It is precisely at this moment that one professional stands out from another, demonstrating an approach of long view on a rational use of the site’s resources. This process involves many professionals: the producer of the waste (usually the client, but not always), the construction manager, the designer, the safety coordinator. Each of these figures must know how to plan by virtue of a wise waste management already at the beginning of a construction project.

Aggregate management: numbers and bad habits in Italy

And it is on construction sites that the Italian economy is “built”. And it is still the construction sector that produces and manages around 60 million tons of waste. Excluding excavated earth and rocks (about 14.2 million tons), the recovery rate of this waste is 77% (about 35.5 million tons): Italy, in essence, is among the top on waste recycling.

Despite the large numbers, however, today there is a real lack of confidence in the use of recycled aggregates, although they guarantee the same performance as natural aggregates. Construction has remained stuck in the purchase of quarry raw materials instead of pushing towards the reuse of materials already present on site.

This disadvantageous habit is also supported by the lack of a protocol that uniquely regulates the treatment of aggregates.

Designing with waste: professionalism for the circular economy and the environment

Despite the gray areas on the regulatory side and on the human side, on a construction site it should be normal to “design with waste” in mind: not only the reuse of aggregates (brick waste, for example, can be reused for the construction of other masonry, favoring the circular economy), but also the preparation of a temporary on-site waste storage area; the integration of equipment for waste handling (such as hydraulic magnets); the organization of the bureaucratic and operational stages for the chemical analysis of waste, so that no polluting material is recycled.

By recycling, you can offer more without spending. At a time when the economic crisis has hit hard, eliminating expenses has great practical as well as symbolic value.

Another point that everyone agrees on is the protection of the environment. It has now become essential to ensure high standards of eco-sustainability also to win tenders. The truly competent professionals in the sector know the importance of certain precautions and know how to propose well-planned methods of managing aggregates and adequate alternatives to waste disposal.
