Wash Bays and Water Recycling: When It Saves Money and When It Doesn’t
The short answer: water recycling saves a wash bay money when wash frequency and volume are high enough that the water and disposal savings outweigh the extra upfront cost of filtration and storage. It doesn't when a site only washes down occasionally, in which case simple containment with [...]
Choosing the Right Oil Water Separator for Transport Depots: Sizing That Works
The right oil water separator for a transport depot is the one sized to your peak washdown flow rate, not your average daily volume. It's the surge moments, multiple bays running at once, a busy morning washdown, that actually determine whether you stay compliant. Get the sizing wrong in [...]
Wheel Wash Systems for Mining and Earthmoving: High-Volume Access Control
A wheel wash system controls what leaves your site by removing mud, clay and debris from tyres before vehicles reach the public road. On a high-volume mining or earthmoving site, that single job stops tracking, slip hazards and EPA action before they start. If your gate sees anything close [...]
Modular Wash Bay Size Guide: Choosing for Mixed Fleets and Plant Equipment
Choosing the right modular wash bay size comes down to one question: what is the heaviest, widest thing that will ever drive over it, and are you sizing for today's fleet or the one you'll have in three years? If your yard runs anything more complicated than a single [...]
Agriculture and Machinery Wash Bays: Stop Soil and Oils Before They Enter Stormwater

If you're running an ag contracting business, a large farming operation, or a machinery dealership, you've [...]
Modular Wash Bays for Mining Sites: Built for Heavy Load and Harsh Conditions
Modular wash bays for mining sites are relocatable, above-ground steel wash pads engineered to take haul-truck axle loads, pair with closed-loop water treatment, and install in days on remote sites where civil works aren't an option. If you're commissioning a new pit, replacing a failing in-ground pad, or trying [...]
