A typical water intake screen uses about 10 tons of steel, which is the equivalent weight of 5 average U.S. cars.

Key Points: 
  • A typical water intake screen uses about 10 tons of steel, which is the equivalent weight of 5 average U.S. cars.
  • By reusing the steel components and rebuilding screens to extend their service life, the carbon requirement for producing new steel can be eliminated, saving up to 18.5 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per screen.\nUnder the new partnership with One Tree Planted, Atlas-SSI will recognize the reduction of CO2 by planting 100 trees for each water intake screen that is rebuilt.
  • "For over 35 years, Atlas-SSI has been rebuilding screens, and this program enhances our efforts by providing both immediate and long-lasting CO2 reduction through the planting of trees.
  • "\nAtlas-SSI is the largest full-service manufacturer of raw water intake equipment, traveling water screens, 316(b) fish-friendly screens and trash rake systems in North America.
