EBHI has undertaken different actions over the last few years both in investment and running costs in order to tighten control of its activity, reducing dust emissions and minimizing contamination and potential impact on air quality in Gijón.
The three wheel washing systems installed ensure that heavy vehicles exiting the terminal are correctly cleaned and do not leave dust particles in their wake.
Screens set up at different points of the storage areas, plus pile sealing protocol along with an improvement in the spraying and washing systems, all help to prevent dust particles from being carried out of the stock areas.
Furthermore, investments such the gantry hoppers and unloading crane, the improvements in belt conveyor systems and those roadways within the terminal, have reduced emissions in unloading and transporting operations.
