Wuhan's second landfill terminal opened

The "dance to the wind" dregs not only pollutes the air but also puts pressure on road transport. The night before, the first landfill terminal in Jiangbei, Wuhan was opened at Siwei Dock in Yankou, Hankou. According to a reporter from the Changjiang Business Daily, the newly-launched Zhatu Ferry will sit alongside Jiangbei and the South Bank along with the railway terminal on the South Bank. At this point, the dregs near Siwei Wharf will not be transported to the outer suburbs 10 kilometers away by landfills. The Wuhan Municipal Wasteland Industry Transport Association stated that this move not only reduced the pollution caused by the transportation of muck in Wuhan, but also reduced the pressure on the road and reduced the cost of excavation at the site.

Few scum and soil pollution around the wharf

At 10 o'clock last night, the reporter went to the Weifang Pier along Yanjiang Avenue, where the lights were bright. After 9 o'clock every night, the slag trucks are allowed to enter the road. At this time, slag muck trucks continue to enter the pier along a gentle slope and sail onto the barges to pour dirt into a loading trench fixed on the barges. There was an excavator on both sides of the loading trench, and the slag in the tank was constantly loaded on the barge.

In addition to the entrance, the barge has a protective fence around it to prevent the dregs from sliding into the river or installing the earthen trough. In addition to providing dumping and turning points for scrap trucks, water guns and vacuum cleaners are also available on barges. From the beach gate to the quay, workers are constantly using guns to reduce pressure and dust. At the same time, the cleaners follow up the cleaning at any time. After the slag trucks have been washed, they pass from the excavation site to the dock. After short-distance transportation, the slag soil pollution is basically eliminated along the road. . The reporter then saw at the entrance of the quayside along the Yangtze River Avenue. Although there were slag trucks coming in and going out, there was no obvious dust in the area. No scum was found on the nearby road.

8,000 tons of cinder every night to neighboring cities

The newly-opened Jiangbei Muck Terminal and the South China Sea Iron Terminal formed together only two wreck terminals in Wuhan. According to the Changjiang Business Daily reporter, the Railway Terminal is located at the intersection of Tieji Road and Linjiang Road in Wuchang District. The terminal was opened in July this year. The daily amount of slag is about 9,000 tons.

Jiangbei Muck Terminal is currently leased by Wuhan Jintaihao Trading Co., Ltd. According to the person in charge of the terminal, no special restrictions apply. From 9:00 PM to 4:00 AM the next day, about 200 vehicles and more than 8,000 tons of muck are transferred to 3 ships. At dawn, the barge was transported to the surrounding cities. “We have signed a contract with the shipowner and the owner and the cities around the river have contacted the dregs.” These dregs are generally used for land formation, garden construction, and returning farmland to forests in other cities.

Does residue from the waterway pollute the Yangtze? The person in charge of the terminal said that the signed contract also requires the owner to send the residue to a place where other cities can take it. "If there is a random landfill or dumping into the river, we will immediately terminate the contract and cooperate with relevant departments to handle the vessel."

Reduced construction time costs

Due to high transportation efficiency and low pollution, some construction units that need to be unearthed have also tasted the “sweet spot” of the land and water transport. A person in charge of a construction unit not far from the riverside said that they had a large amount of excavated work sites and had a tight schedule. “In the past, more than 50 muck trucks were transported to Xinzhou every night on the construction site. Not only is there a long way to go, but there are still many places where dumping is not allowed. The efficiency of the money is not high.” Jiangbei has a dedicated slag dock. Landfill vehicles only travel less than one kilometer. “Only 15 muck trucks will be used at the construction site at night.” According to Xiao Liu, a dreg truck driver who had come to unload the soil, he had run far ahead and could only pull 4 miles per night. There was also a certain risk of traffic accidents on the road. “Now the road is near, the risk is relatively reduced, and the pollution to the environment is also reduced.”

According to the person in charge of the Wuhan Municipal Solid Waste Industry Transport Association, most of the cities with better domestic waste management are transported by water transport. Reducing slag truck trips will make the road healthier. Water transport residue can not only reduce urban pollution, but also alleviate the problem of nowhere to absorb the residue. It is a useful attempt, especially Wuhan is located in the intersection of two rivers, water resources are very rich, it is worth to promote in Wuhan city waste transport industry .
