Lead limiter launched
June 1st 2006 Project CBC is a British Telecom proposal to manage the 'lead in the air' hazard associated with the disturbance of Cotton Braided Cables. Dry removal of old cables coated with lead-based paint used to result in unacceptable levels of lead in the air.
BT identified Eco Solutions' technology and its Trade Strip products as a means of controlling the hazard. Eco Solutions joined a research programme that included Accenture HRS and the Institute of Occupational Medicine to look at how its products could be used to deliver a solution.
Research included a laboratory examination and a field trial that proved that the technology was a match for the CBC hazard.
The company's Lead Limiter product penetrates through the CBC and encapsulates any lead particles into the product, allowing safe cutting and removal of cables. More articles from Eco Solutions Ltd: |
