RADIATION DETECTOR AND TRUCK SCALE:
Locate to the east of the office building, as you approach the truck scale on the north end you drive thru, are two yellow posts with the radiation detector mounted on them. This is put in place to protect you and the environment. This enables us to monitor materials entering the yard and guarantees us we are not receiving any contaminated materials. This also enables us to haul prepared steel directly into the foundries.
Why a Radiation Detector is a good thing for you, me and the environment.
Steel makers and Foundries rely on Radiation free scrap from Manufacturing industries and Recycled used products. Radioactively contaminated scrap threatens both human health and environmental health as well as the economics of the steel industry. If radioactive scrap contaminated the metal supply, it could expose the steel works and potentially be incorporated into consumer products.
Our Radiation unit is located at the front of our scale to catch possible contaminated material before it enters into the yard. The main unit is located in the office where we can monitor it at all times.
Should the alarm sound, the load is stopped where it sits on the scale. From there we will come out with a hand held unit in order to locate what item or items are contaminated. We will safely contain it and call the proper authorities for safe pickup and disposal.
Our goal is to provide a safe environment for our families, friends and customers.
