Wash Pads and Water Capture

Pollution of surface waters and groundwater

It is an offence for anyone to cause or knowingly permit: the entry into surface waters or groundwater of solid waste matter, or of poisonous, noxious or polluting matter, or the discharge of trade and sewage effluent into surface waters or groundwater without prior consent from the Environmental Regulator.

Good Practise

You should carry out dewaxing , cleaning and degreasing activities in designated washbay areas and not on ground which discharges to surface water drains, watercourses or soakaways. A water recycling system can reduce water use and associated costs. The washbay should be impermeable and isolated by a raised kerb, with the effluent directed to foul sewer or a sealed pump. Never direct the drainage from these areas through an oil interceptor as the oil will be emulsified and washed out of the interceptor.

All WashMan Wash Pads eliminate the need to install a permanent concrete wash pad, which is both more expensive and not always viable if the land is not freehold.

Inflatable Wash Pads
for temporary and multiple locations.

Semi-permanent Wash Pads
for sites with a duration of two to three years.

Permanent surface mounted Wash Pads
for hostile or corrosive longer term applications.
