Disinfection & Viral Remediation of 150 semi-tractor trailers per week.
What
Cabs and X no of high touch-points on each trailer.
Challenge
- To eliminate cross-contamination (which could happen very easily due to the nature of vehicle use, travel around the country, the number of drivers and the nature of the cargo).
- To keep infection at bay.
Equipment
Dedicated equipment, including electrostatic sprayers, for this particular kind of disinfection.
Duration
This customer is under an ongoing data-driven, value-added, proactive and customized F-SAP program.
How (Process)
- A detailed study of the movement of the fleet and the arrival to and departure from the terminal for the150 trailers per week were forecast.
- The disinfection service timelines were efficiently planned and scheduled to minimize downtime, taking into account that each trailer had to be disinfected at least once every week.
- The decontamination of each trailer was done as follows:
1) A pre-DVR diagnostic test was done on high touch-points.
2) Meticulous light -duty cleaning and wipe- down of surfaces was carried out to remove dust and loose debris.
3) Disinfection and viral remediation were carried out with Purbloc, the ultimate surface protectant which is
water-based
non-toxic,
food-safe
residue-free
pH Neutral
completely free of any volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
4) A post-DVR diagnostic test was conducted on the previously tested high-touch surfaces using the EnSURE Touch UltraSnap Surface ATP Test System. - Due to the need for recurring DVR services for this customer, a customized F-SAP program was arrived at which involved periodic testing and reapplication of disinfectant and surface protectant based on the test results.
Diagnostic statistics
Rolling average
- Before DVR: 605 RLU.
- After disinfection: 7 RLU.
