Understanding Railcar Transloading Spill Containment

What is transloading spill containment?

Transloading is the process of transferring liquids from railcars to trucks and vice versa. The federal government requires spill prevention containers to catch incidental spills that may occur during railroad transfer operations.

Do I need a transloading plan?

Most transloading facilities need a transloading spill containment plan to meet federal safety guidelines. You need a transloading plan if there is a likelihood of oil discharge into local navigable waterways and if your facility handles petroleum and/or non-petroleum oils, among other criteria.

STAR TRACK™ Railcar Spill Containment Systems

The STAR TRACK is a modular, composite spill containment system that holds incidental spills that occur during railcar transfer operations. The system consists of three track pans that measure approximately 10 feet wide when assembled. The track pans have low-profile walls which make them easy to move vehicles over.

Our three-part railcar spill containment system is made of:

• A center track pan that protects areas between the railroad tracks
• Two outrigger pans that protect areas outside of the track

Easily install our portable railcar containment systems using standard hand tools. Our track pan systems fit snug against the rail with special ties, fasteners and weldments.

Star Track liquid containment solutions are manufactured from strong, corrosion-resistant materials, including:

• Fiberglass
• Galvanized steel
• Stainless steel
• Heavy-duty galvanized steel (for drive-over applications)
