Ports and terminals handle bulk materials over large paved areas. Spilled cargo, dust and debris need clearing between operations, both for safety and to prevent one cargo contaminating the next.
Typical sweeping work
- Quaysides and berth aprons after bulk discharge
- Storage areas, sheds and transit yards
- Port estate roads and gate approaches
- Container and trailer parks
- Rail freight terminals and haulage depots
What to plan for
Tell us what cargo has been handled, as the material affects both the sweeping and the disposal. Operators need to know the pass, induction and escort arrangements for the port, and these should be arranged before the shift. Give the window between operations when the area is clear.
Regular and multi-site work
Regular and call-off arrangements are covered under nationwide contract sweeping; night and weekend work under out-of-hours road sweeping.
Other services for the same site
RoRo containers, tipper haulage, regular waste collections and hazardous waste disposal are available through Waste Cloud. See supporting services.
