Rail Wreck / Salvage / Silo (Vessel) Evacuation

Because of its long history and  ongoing relationships with virtually all plastic pellet and powder petrochemical producers, including the largest and most significant plastic brokers and resellers, Ee-Jay is uniquely positioned to provide “one stop shopping” in the matter of rail wreck clean up and salvage services. These services have been provided in the past for a variety of railroads and shippers and have occasioned creative and innovative solutions to railcar accidents as unique as derails of cars coming to rest hanging over the side of rail bridges over the Mississippi river. Ee-Jay is qualified and is a registered provider of salvage services to the Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF Railway Company and holds itself out to any party in need of liquid or dry bulk salvage.

The National Transportation Safety Board, various state and local Departments of Public Safety, state Departments of Transportation and state Pollution Control Agencies are some of the governmental entities Ee-Jay has worked with in the course of salvage operations.

Ee-Jay has an acute awareness and understanding of the environmental concerns that surround such accidents.  We are regularly qualified and updated by our producer and reseller customers alike in the “best practices” that attach to plastic handling, spill remediation, pellet capture and disposition.

In plant silo evacuations of plastic pellets and powders are also provided on a regular basis to customers in need of silo cleaning of an off spec or contaminated material or simply to relocate inventory to another of the customer’s plants in a different part of the country. The latter will occur when some circumstance occurs (e.g. Hurricane Katrina) that causes a production interruption or inventory imbalance. Also, we regularly provide load adjust services for our shipper customers by either transferring material from one compartment of an en route railcar to another or by removing the material and relocating it to another of the shippers railcars which will frequently be located at our terminal.

The equipment used in the salvage operation is dependent on the particular application and ranges from our self contained vacuum pneumatic self – loading  trailers (J & L) to vacuum machines (Dunbar Kapple and  U S Systems Venturi 30).
