Opening of underground waste storage system. Buried type underground storage. Price of buried containers

Underground waste collection system, thanks to the large capacity of containers, reduces transport costs. By lifting the bag, accurate and easy weighing of the waste can be ensured. The product is durable, has a long service life and works very well in areas with mass development. Key advantage vertical container is that the debris is compacted under the action of its own gravity.

Lid deep container for MSW loading is easy, convenient to use and closes automatically. This prevents entry into the system precipitation, birds, animals that protects environment. The removable bag is emptied from below precisely and gently. This design prevents liquid spillage and debris spillage. Thanks to the system's vertical design, the older debris is at the bottom of the bin, where the low ground temperature limits bacterial growth and reduces odors in the summer time and prevents it from freezing in winter.

The vertical arrangement of the structure allows more significant space savings in residential yards than when using surface containers, which makes it possible to increase the area of ​​​​landscaping, playgrounds, parking spaces, etc.

Safe to use and operate. The filling lid locking mechanism increases safety and reduces the risk of fire. The emptying process is safe and free from risks such as heavy lids and sharp corners, faulty or poorly functioning wheels, spillage of slippery or foul-smelling waste. This system does not require the installation of elements required for container sites: fencing and a solid base.

Thanks to its shape, modern and ergonomic design, buried container creates a favorable view of the areas of mass development and the central streets of the city. Diversity colors and materials of external finishing of the drive allows to apply this system in harmony with a variety of architectural solutions. Collection, storage and removal of household waste using an underground storage can not only improve the condition of residential areas, implement a program separate collection waste, but also to radically change the approach of the population to solving the issue of storage and disposal of garbage.

The economic effect of an underground reservoir of a buried type:

• one person, he is the driver, is engaged in unloading garbage from the tanks. Whereas at least 2-3 people are involved in unloading garbage from tanks in traditional MSW collection systems;
  
• there is no such phenomenon as the scattering of garbage during unloading, therefore, there is no need for constant cleaning of solid waste sites after each waste removal;
  
• garbage in buried tanks is compacted, under its own weight, respectively, the number of entrances for the removal of solid waste is reduced;
  
• when re-equipping existing sites for the collection of solid waste, it is possible to significantly increase the loading capacity. And as a result, reduce the number of trips to clean the tanks;
  
• tanks are made of materials that are not of interest to those involved in the theft of black and non-ferrous metal;
  
• there is no need for regular touch-up and welding of tanks. Buried type tanks require minimal maintenance;
  
• the design of the cover allows you to hang a lock, thereby restricting access to unauthorized persons (in particular, malicious defaulters and unauthorized persons);
  
• it is possible to manufacture tanks with lids of various colors for the organization of separate collection of solid waste.
  

Installing a buried container:

• the container is buried in the ground to a depth of 1600 mm;
  
• earthworks, taking into account the alignment of the bottom of the pit and the method of anchoring the container, are carried out to a depth of 1700-1800mm;
  
• depending on the type of soil and the level of groundwater, a decision is made on the method of anchoring;
  
• the sinuses of the pit are covered with suitable soil or sand; it is impossible to fill up waterlogged or clayey soil;
• the upper part around the container is finished at the discretion of the Customer (Finish paving slabs, screening, marble chips, asphalting).
  

The storage kit includes: the body of the container with the outer finish of the above-ground part and the support ring, the main cover assembly, the lifting bag with the locking device, the storage quick unloading system, anchoring brackets.

Life does not stand still, something is constantly developing and improving.
People began to fly into space, phones can replace large computers, the rover takes pictures of itself on Mars, but with garbage they can’t solve the problem.
Remember which tanks you have near the house, and what kind of stink comes from.
Maybe the situation in the capital is a little better, but in the regions it’s definitely not fantastic. Let's look at the underground waste storage facilities that I use abroad. We have a lot to learn.

What to do with it? All garbage cans must be removed underground. There should be no disgusting dirty containers! There are several types of underground waste collection systems. This one is the simplest. Ordinary tanks on the lift go down, and only the garbage receptacle remains on top, like a conventional garbage chute.

Above everything is clean and tidy.

Nothing smells, nothing flows down the roads, and nothing rots in the sun.

Eat different types receivers, for example for glass, paper or household waste.

This is how the containers look like in the complex.

So they rise.

Next system harder, but better. Here the receiver and the tank are a single unit. The advantages are obvious - the system is completely sealed. It is serviced faster - no need to push the tanks, nothing falls out. And most importantly - it is many times more capacious than one tank. Depending on the size, such an underground tank can be up to 5 times larger than a conventional container. And this means that you can take out the garbage less often.

Access to the tanks can be done by cards so that only the residents of the house can use them. This is necessary in cases where garbage collection is paid and residents do not want to pay extra.

But the coolest thing is the regional vacuum garbage chute! I dream of building one in Shchukino!

The horizontal system works on the principle of pneumatic mail. Garbage can be pressed in tanks and fly away to storage. All waste bins in the area can be connected to such a system. Beauty. Garbage automatically goes to the distribution point, from where it is taken to landfills. Also, existing garbage chutes in houses can be connected to this system. The vacuum system requires serious investments - about 500 million rubles for 10,000 apartments, but it pays off in 30 years, since hundreds of garbage cans do not need to be serviced daily.

Last peep junk fashion are trash cans solar panels! They compact the garbage and do not consume electricity at all.

How do we pay for garbage collection now? Shared by all apartments. Access to the tank can be by cards. You can connect a billing system to the tank and then each resident of the house will pay only for what he threw away! The system can even weigh trash and rate it! This is the garbage future!

The advantages of underground storage facilities are obvious: they take up little space, they do not spoil the view of the street, they are easier to maintain, they do not smell, they do not attract homeless people and animals. The cost of such a system is from 400,000 rubles per tank. Approximately so much the Moscow authorities spend a year on maintenance of asphalt in one yard. Garbage cans should decorate the yard!

ECOLIFT™ is an innovative system for the collection and underground storage of municipal solid waste (MSW), designed for mass use in public places.

System ECOLIFT™ works on the principle of a hydraulic lift. Waste is collected and accumulated in standard waste containers installed on a lifting platform lowered into a sealed underground space. The bins located on the surface serve as waste bins and send waste directly to the underground container. By operating the lifting mechanism, Management Company lifts containers to the surface to clean and empty them, then lowers them back underground.

System ECOLIFT™ - developed by PANDA LIFT engineers with the expectation of operation in the Russian climate ( low temperatures, heavy snowfalls, icing, heavy rain showers).

RELEVANCE OF APPLICATION

The idea of ​​development and implementation new system collection and underground storage of solid waste in Russia, came to the engineers of the PANDA LIFT company in 2012 and was caused by the urgency of the garbage problem in public places and residential areas, large cities of Russia.

There are a number of problems associated with the topic of garbage, but it is especially important to highlight the problem of cleanliness, environmental safety and the aesthetics of primary waste collection points, such as city bins and waste containers, installed in high-traffic public areas or in residential yards.

Overflowing garbage containers, given as an example, are located in a residential area (photo on the left) and along the alley, behind the Dynamo stadium, Moscow (photo on the right). Such examples are common, ranging from cultural parks and lanes in the historic part of the city to prestigious residential complexes.

BENEFITS OF USING

New system ECOLIFT™ is designed to save urban residents, passers-by and utilities from the "garbage" problem. Listed below are just some of the visible benefits of using ECOLIFT™.

• Visual and sanitary cleanliness around waste collection points;
• No unpleasant smell from the decomposition of food waste;
• Garbage collection points no longer serve as a habitat for dangerous roaming animals;
• Food and household waste are not taken away by birds;
• Garbage collection points no longer encourage the breeding of insects, rats and other pests;
• Garbage collection points no longer attract homeless people.

There are also such important components that are difficult to measure, for example: aesthetics, satisfaction of residents of residential areas, raising the image of the local district, administration, management company, etc.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The basis of the system ECOLIFT™ is a hydraulic scissor lift platform. Platform dimensions, lifting height and bearing capacity are determined based on the number of garbage containers, their type, geometric dimensions, the total mass of waste accumulated in them.

The lifting platform is installed in a pre-prepared concrete shaft (pit), part of which is reserved for the control room, in which a hydraulic station and an electrical panel are installed.

The monolithic shaft is completely sealed. It is protected both from the external impact of ground and melt water, and from the impact of precipitation. The roof, mounted on a platform on two (or four) supports, performs the function of a shaft cover. When the platform is in the lowered position, the roof hermetically closes the shaft due to a specially designed abutment structure, such as a "lock". The design of the lock was developed by PANDA LIFT engineers in such a way that its tightness cannot be broken, it cannot become icy, clogged with debris or fail for other reasons.

On the surface, in the immediate vicinity of the waste bins, a control console for the lifting system is installed. To extract garbage containers from underground, control buttons (raise, lower, stop) are provided on the console. The management console can only be activated using a special access key, which is kept by employees of operating organizations.

All elements of the system ECOLIFT™ made in anti-vandal design. There are no wires and working mechanisms of the system on the surface, only bins - waste bins are visible.

If necessary, the system can be equipped with electronic access or personalization devices. In this case, to access the urns, the user of the system must attach magnetic key or enter a code.

This option can be useful when the system is installed in places where it is used by a certain group of people (for example, residents of a particular residential complex, or employees of a certain organization, etc.).

An integral part and an important option of the system ECOLIFT™ is the presence of the function of monitoring the state of filling of garbage containers. Special infrared sensors are triggered when the container is close to full or already full. When the sensors are triggered, the programmable controller can issue a command to perform the following actions:

• Sends messages to the management company via GSM module (SMS or E-mail messages);
• Controls the light indication indicating which of the underground containers is full;
• Blocks the electromagnetic lock of the lid of the waste bin so that the waste no longer enters the filled container.

THE LINEUP

System ECOLIFT™ designed for use with both mobile roll-out garbage containers and cargo garbage containers with a capacity of up to 20 cubic meters. On the lifting platform can be placed from 1 to 8 mobile compact containers at the same time, or one cargo container weighing up to 20 tons (when full).

System ECOLIFT™ provides for the installation of garbage containers for separate collection of solid waste on the platform. In this case, specially marked urns (paper, glass, plastic, batteries, etc.) are installed on the surface.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

In accordance with general requirements imposed on hydraulic lifting devices, as well as taking into account the peculiarities of the operation of the system, it is necessary to periodically check the condition and Maintenance systems (once every 3 months).

Maintenance includes:

• Checking the condition of metal structures, bolted and welded joints;
• Checking the condition of the hydraulic station ( technical condition engine, components, oil level check, etc.);
• Checking the condition of hydraulic cylinders;
• Checking the condition of hydraulic hoses and connections;
• Testing of electrical units and components;
• Checking the system control unit;
• Checking sensors (safety, stop, etc.)
• Cleaning and processing

Such a check takes PANDA LIFT specialists from 2 to 4 hours and directly affects the safety, quality and service life of the system.

At the end of 2010, recently installed buried containers in the Solnechny microdistrict were closed in Irkutsk. Old metal tanks were reinstalled in front of the modern container yard. And the picture again became familiar: torn bags, garbage and stray dogs.

In total, as part of the experiment, the authorities installed about fifteen buried containers in Solnechnoye. According to the vice-mayor of Irkutsk, Dmitry Razumov, the management company, on whose territory the containers are located, has concluded an agreement on garbage collection with a private enterprise that does not have the appropriate equipment to service the new tanks. Therefore, it was decided to preserve them.

A similar story happened in the north of Moscow. Next to brand new round tanks, hastily painted old metal ones also coexist. In total, more than 3,000 buried containers have already been installed in the capital, and a significant part of them are not properly serviced. Residents of the northern district of the capital for almost a year to no avail bombarded with letters of complaint from representatives of the prefecture.

Why do such situations arise?

The underground waste collection system is widely used all over the world, and a lot of experience has been gained in its operation. But, apparently, when introducing fashionable Western technology, public utilities do not always take into account important rule. In order for the technology to work, its implementation must be provided with the right technology and equipment, correspond to the current state of the market and the mindset of the consumer, and most importantly, all technological requirements for the installation of equipment must be strictly observed.

The waste storage system in containers partially buried underground was developed in Finland over 20 years ago. By that time, technologies for separate waste collection were already actively used in this country, the market was developing towards reducing the cost of garbage disposal. The main arguments in favor of this method were the saving of space for the site, its appearance, and most importantly, the ability to take out the trash less often. For Finland, a country with a low population density, this system fit perfectly. It is unprofitable to take out garbage from sites dispersed over large areas every day. The buried container allows you to accumulate waste for several days and take it out certain types waste as it accumulates. For non-perishable fractions - glass, plastic - large containers are installed, they can rarely be exported. For MSW - smaller containers for more frequent emptying. At the same time, household waste does not deteriorate as quickly as in a conventional tank. The container is tightly closed with a lid, and the temperature underground is much lower. In addition, the Finnish open spaces allow a car with a long crane-manipulator to freely drive up to the container (only such equipment can work with buried tanks).

Later, the technology spread to the central and southern Europe. Underground tanks are installed there at remote gas stations, in pedestrian and park areas, and in squares. Where the garbage does not need to be taken out every day, and it is lighter in composition. Basically, these are plastic and glass bottles, pieces of paper: everything that can be thrown away just passing by.

In Russia, underground containers are used in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Irkutsk, Omsk, Izhevsk, Voronezh, Murmansk and other cities. European technology in our country was immediately redrawn to new way and began to install buried containers in the residential sector, in the conditions of high-rise buildings. Moreover, one underground container is installed instead of 5-6 ordinary ones, which means that garbage will have to be taken out of it again every day. There can be no talk of any time savings. If it takes about 20 seconds to load a conventional 1.1 m3 Euro tank with a modern lifting device, then emptying a 5 cc bag from an underground tank is not a quick matter. The operator needs to transfer the CMU from the transport position to the working position, extend the outriggers or hydraulic supports, pick up the bag, empty it, and then do all these operations in reverse order. All this time, most likely, the garbage truck will interfere with the passage of cars, bicycles and strollers.

Worth paying Special attention to the fact that in-ground containers are designed specifically for light waste. On average, according to European experience, a fully filled 5 cubic sack should weigh no more than 400 kg. Russian practice shows that, being stuffed with heavy household waste, such a bag weighs about a ton. This entails increased requirements for container materials and equipment that will serve it. The bag must have an appropriate margin of safety, and the boom of the crane-manipulator must have a load capacity (at least 1000 kg at maximum reach). Otherwise, the bags will constantly tear, the garbage will wake up, and the equipment will fail. The most important performance characteristics of the CMU include the length of the boom. It should be sufficient to reach the container when it is impossible to drive close to the site due to the many cars parked around it. Many problems can also be caused by improper installation and the use of structural elements that do not correspond to the technology. For example, in some cases, instead of a sealed plastic or concrete capsule, container bags are placed in containers made of ordinary concrete rings for country wells and are constantly heated by groundwater. And the bags themselves are often not made from original high-strength materials in order to reduce the cost, as a result of which they cannot withstand the loads placed on them.

In Moscow, new containers also suffer from a lack of parking spaces. Buried container yards, in accordance with the concept of saving space in cramped Moscow yards, do not have a protective fence. In one of these yards, an inexperienced driver, trying to win back a piece of parking for himself, damaged an expensive container, after which its use became impossible. The replacement of the container is not provided for by the budget, and for a long time it turns into a local "unauthorized dump". The rest of the containers are also constantly overflowing.

The method of garbage disposal from buried containers is also common in small flatbed trucks with a manipulator. Such a machine can serve only 1-2 container sites, after which it must go to the disposal site. It is impossible to reload garbage from such a vehicle into a more spacious garbage truck within the city without auxiliary means. The cost of exporting one container in this way is very high, and all these costs, of course, fall on the consumer.

An example of a correct and reasonable approach is the Tomsk enterprise MUP "Spetsavtokhozyaystvo". The company set up a test site with buried containers and immediately purchased a special machine for its maintenance - a Zoeller Medium series garbage truck on a Scania chassis with rear loading, a crane-manipulator unit and a lifting device for euro containers. This machine is versatile. It can load garbage not only from underground tanks, but also from ordinary tanks and quickly pays off the investment. A long service interval, no unscheduled downtime due to breakdowns, low fuel consumption of imported chassis - all this saves money for both the waste disposal company and service consumers.

The volume of the Zoeller Medium XL body is eighteen cubic meters. This means that at a pressing ratio of 1:6, its hopper can hold 108,000 liters of waste. And this is about 22 buried containers with a volume of 5 m3. Typically, such a machine runs two schedules a day. That is, in a day it will serve up to 44 containers and only go to the landfill twice. A small car will load 44 containers in 22 steps, but it will not physically be able to go to the disposal site 22 times, that is, at least four such cars will be needed.

Now let's compare costs. A small car spends about 20 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. Large - 50. But four small cars are already spending 80 liters per 100 km. If the landfill is 25 km from the city, they will cover at least 300 km per day, and the Zoeller garbage truck no more than 150. In addition, these four vehicles need to be bought, maintained, maintained, and even pay a salary of 8 units of personnel, instead of 2. According to the manufacturers of this vehicle, the RG-Techno company located near Moscow, the Zoeller garbage truck with CMU is the optimal solution for servicing buried containers. The machine can operate in any region of Russia: the hydraulic system functions stably at temperatures from -50°С to +50°С. The margin of safety of the body and the pressing mechanism allows even the loading of CGO. home design feature machines - combined loading device. If an organization serves various types of containers and platforms, this versatility will significantly save on logistics. An additional hydraulically controlled special receiver increases the capacity of the receiving hopper to 5 m3. This means that the contents of a 5-cc bag can be easily unloaded without spilling debris.

Now MUP "Spetsavtokhozyaystvo" continues to introduce new technology waste collection. During the use of the trial container site, the Tomsk communal services identified another difficulty: the small dimensions of the hatches do not allow throwing bulky bags of garbage into the tank. After all, the standard European design is designed for small portions of pre-sorted waste. But at subsequent sites, tanks with an enlarged loading opening were installed, and this problem was solved.

The company's specialists, together with the city authorities, have chosen the right tactics. In Tomsk, buried containers will be installed mainly not in the courtyards of residential buildings, but in public places - in parks, boulevards and squares. Spetsavtokhozyaystva plans to purchase from RG-Techno another Zoeller universal garbage truck with CMU with a larger body capacity.

Practice shows that even in the case of borrowing a technology that has been proven over the years, it is necessary to correctly adapt it to the existing realities. Companies and municipalities who are just about to get into the installation and maintenance of buried containers already have something to rely on. Their colleagues in the regions of Russia have already accumulated some experience, both positive and negative, which can be taken into account and no longer make such mistakes.

OPINION.Roman Lobov, Executive Director of RG-Techno LLC:
In my opinion, one cannot say that the system of underground waste accumulation is bad or not suitable for our country, based only on the bad experience of some cities and companies. Europeans are very rational. The fact that this technology is constantly developing in Europe indicates that it has the right to exist if it is applied pointwise, where it is appropriate.

Our clients often turn to us for advice when they are going to expand their range of services: install and maintain buried containers. We try to help them choose the right direction, master a new market segment with maximum efficiency both for themselves and for their clients. We pass on to them not only our knowledge, but also the wide capabilities of our equipment, which is backed by 65 years of experience in waste management in Europe. Models of Zoeller garbage trucks that we offer in Russia meet the highest requirements and are maximally adapted for operation in our country.

Now for one of our customers, we have developed a new machine for handling euro containers and underground bunkers. The crane-manipulator installation of this garbage truck is mounted not behind the cab, but on the roof of the body. This allowed us to reduce the cost of construction, reduce the time of bringing the crane boom into working position and increase the volume of the body to 21.5 m3. Another important point: the center of rotation of the CMU is shifted towards the rear. This means that even when it is difficult to drive to the location of the container, the outreach of the crane is not 12, but only 7.5 m. We encourage our customers not to be afraid of the new. Market leadership often depends on who is the first to occupy a new niche. The main thing is to choose the right approach and the most effective and reliable technique to achieve the goal.
