Aviation CONSTRUCTION SITES.
As contractors build the future, maintaining safety and environmental compliance is crucial now more than ever due to improved environmental standards and dense populations near to the construction zones. FODS provides a key piece of environmental responsibility.

TRADITIONAL SOLUTIONS
While traditional stone construction entrances are often used to contain sediment and contaminated debris on industrial sites exits, the long term application leave a number of challenges for site operators. The gravel systems require frequent top dressing with additional aggregate on a regular basis to maintain effectiveness. The entrances are not able to be moved to account for changing traffic patterns and can not be installed over existing pavement or concrete. For these reasons, industrial site operators often opt for alternate solutions to minimize trackout.
FODS MODERN INDUSTRIAL SITE TRACKOUT CONTROL SYSTEM
The FODS Trackout Control System is a modern BMP for vehicle tracking control that is well suited for permanent and semi-permanent industrial applications. In side by side comparisons with traditional rock tracking pads, FODS has been shown to reduce required street sweeping by 59% enabling more effective trackout control than traditional solutions. The system is a portable solution which can be installed and relocated and maintained without the use of heavy equipment or additional materials. Each of the pyramids on the surface of the mats can support 20,000 lbs. allowing the mats to support the weight of any highway vehicle or heavy equipment on site. The FODS system is designed to last for 10+ years of regular use. The FODS Trackout Control System can be anchored to both hardscape and directly on grade to provide a stabilized access point over nearly any substrate.
FODS Reusable Rockless Trackout Control System provide many advantages and benefits as a replacement to traditional stabilized rock entrances. These benefits make FODS an excellent fit for use in a wide range of landfill & waste projects, manufacturing, mining and material processing applications.
The FODS Vehicle Trackout Control System is ideal for permanent and semi-permanent applications which require effective sediment and debris containment. High volume industrial sites such as mine sites, processing plants, and manufacturing plants can benefit from the effective and durable design while maintaining the flexibility to respond to changing site requirements.

Advantages Of FODS In Aviation Construction Projects
Industrial Site Trackout Requirements
Similar to construction projects, industrial sites such as landfills, transfer stations, recycling plants, stone quarries, and mining operations and manufacturing operations are subject to EPA stormwater pollution regulations. The NPDES permit program establishes a system to ensure proper protections are in place to prevent excessive sedimentation from occurring at industrial sites. One requirement of the NPDES permit program is to minimize soil tracked onto active roadways.
The specific NPDES requirements of industrial sites differ from construction projects. Many manufacturing, mining, and other industrial sites produce or process materials which are toxic to wildlife, so a highly effective trackout solution is required to contain sediments and contaminants on-site. Industrial site traffic routes can vary and change throughout operation as materials are delivered and processed over time. In addition, these sites are permanent or semi-permanent and require a durable and maintainable solution for trackout control. Some industrial access points are required over existing pavement and concrete as well as directly over grade. An ideal trackout control solution would address all of these requirements enabling operators to implement an effective and maintainable long term solution over any substrate.
