Abstract
A waste cement collection apparatus utilizing a porous disposable bulk bag for collecting waste cement removed as a result of wash-out of the discharge chute of a cement mixer truck after a cement delivery, the apparatus further having a method for filtering, collecting, and holding cement contaminated waste fluids for recovery and disposal. A service process is also described for the provision and recovery of the collection apparatus and the transport and disposition of the waste materials.
Claims13
A waste cement containment system comprising:
- a) a bulk bag support assembly comprising a porous rigid support member having an upper and a lower face and a plurality of removable posts attached perpendicular to said upper face;
- b) an open top fluid catch basin having a bottom portion, vertical walls, an interior panel sloping to one side defining a deep and shallow end and a pump connecting means for extracting fluid from said basin attached to said lower face;
- c) a permeable bulk bag capable of containing waste cement having lifting means said bulk bag supported by said support member;
- and
- d) an attachment means located adjacent a free end of each said post for temporarily attaching and quick releasing said permeable bulk bag held in an open configuration.
A cement waste cement containment system for the collection of concrete debris from a construction site namely the separation of fluids from excess cement and the disposal thereof comprising:
- a) a bulk bag support assembly comprising a fluid container having a bottom portion and vertical walls, an interior panel sloping to one side defining a deep and shallow end of said container and a pipe nipple extending from a said vertical wall adjacent said deep end;
- b) a rigid porous floor member having an upper and lower face supported by said fluid container located within said vertical walls in a standoff relationship with said interior panel;
- c) a plurality of vertical posts removably attached to said upper face extending above said vertical walls;
- d) a bag support and release attachment located adjacent an end of each said post;
- and
- e) a waste cement containment bag having flexible lifting means the bag temporarily attached to and supported by each said bag support and release attachment, said floor member and at least partially contained within said vertical walls.
