Talk to Morclean about your Vehicle Wash Project

Whether you are planning a new vehicle wash bay, heavy plant wash area, fleet washing facility, surface-mounted wash pad or a complete wash water treatment installation, Morclean can help develop a solution around your site.

From individual equipment supply to a complete turnkey design-and-build project, contact the Morclean team to discuss your site, washing requirements, drainage and available space.

Excavation to Innovation: Two Ways to Build

Every site is different, which is why Morclean does not limit vehicle wash installation projects to one construction method.

Where traditional excavation and civil engineering provide the appropriate solution, we can undertake the complete groundworks and installation.

Where disruption needs to be minimised, our surface-mounted wash pads, above-ground interceptors, canopies and modular systems can significantly reduce or eliminate excavation.

Whichever approach is deemed appropriate, the project is supported by the same Morclean technical, sales and installation teams from initial design through to final handover.

We can undertake the complete design, build and installation of a vehicle, fleet, plant or equipment wash facility.

Our turnkey project service can include:

  • Site assessment and initial design
  • Ground surveys and setting out
  • Site clearance
  • Excavation and groundworks
  • Muck away and disposal
  • Drainage and pipework
  • Silt traps, sumps and catchment pits
  • Interceptors and separators
  • Holding tanks and overflow tanks
  • Water storage tanks
  • Below-ground ducting
  • Concrete slabs and bases
  • Backfilling and concrete surrounds
  • Wash bay equipment
  • Water treatment & recycling systems
  • Steel structures, canopies and shelters
  • Gantries and screens
  • Delivery and offloading
  • Project management
  • RAMS and site health and safety
  • Installation, commissioning and handover

Morclean provides complete wash bay installation and project services throughout the UK, from initial site assessment and system design through to groundworks, installation, commissioning and handover.

Our experienced project, technical and installation teams can manage the complete process, providing a single point of responsibility for the wash bay, drainage, water treatment, tanks, structures and associated civil engineering works.

  • Traditional wash bays incorporating excavation, drainage and below-ground civil works
  • Surface-mounted and modular wash bay systems minimising or completely eliminating excavation and disruption to the existing ground

Morclean coordinates every stage of installation, eliminating the need for clients to arrange plant, contractors, excavation equipment, deliveries or specialist teams.

Tanks, Interceptors and Separators

Morclean supplies a wide range of tanks for wash bay and water management projects.

For traditional below-ground installations, Morclean supplies tanks from approximately 2m³ to 40m³, with a complete installation service covering excavation, positioning, connections, backfilling and associated civil works.

Above-Ground Interceptors and Water Treatment

Morclean also offers a range of above-ground and surface-mounted interceptors, tanks and water treatment equipment that minimise excavation and civil engineering costs. Solutions include wash tanks, oil removal and partial water treatment before discharge to an approved mains foul drain connection.

These systems reduce disruption, accelerate installation and offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional below-ground installations.

Surface-Mounted Wash Bays

Morclean specialises in surface-mounted wash bay installations.

These systems can provide a complete wash facility without disturbing the existing ground and, subject to site conditions, can eliminate excavation and conventional civil works altogether.

A typical surface-mounted project can incorporate the wash pad, ramps, drainage, pump system, water treatment equipment, canopy and technical room as an integrated installation.

This approach can be particularly useful where excavation is difficult, expensive or undesirable, or where the client requires a modular or potentially relocatable solution.

Pro Series Modular Heavy-Duty Wash Pads

Morclean’s Pro Series modular wash pads provide a surface-mounted solution for washing vehicles, heavy-duty plant and equipment.

The modular wash pads can be installed in conjunction with water reuse or water recycling systems, allowing the wash water management equipment to form part of the overall project.

Because the system is surface mounted, installation can substantially reduce the amount of excavation and disruption normally associated with constructing a conventional wash bay.

The same Morclean installation team can coordinate the wash pad, ramps, pumping equipment, water treatment, canopy and associated equipment.

Inflatable and Semi-Permanent Wash Pads

Not every application requires a permanent concrete or steel wash bay.

Morclean can also provide inflatable wash pads and semi-permanent wash pad solutions for applications requiring greater flexibility.

These systems can form part of a wider wash water containment and treatment project and are handled by the same technical and installation teams responsible for our permanent and surface-mounted wash bay projects.

Canopies, Technical Rooms, Buildings and Structures

A wash bay project can extend considerably beyond the wash pad itself.

Morclean can incorporate wash bay canopies, technical rooms, steel portal buildings, shelters, gantries, screens, splash screens and covers into the overall project.

These can be designed alongside the wash bay and water management system so that drainage, pipework, ducting, hose reels and other services are considered from the outset.

Projects can therefore range from an open external wash bay through to a complete enclosed or covered vehicle and equipment washing facility.

Water Reuse, Recycling and Treatment

Water management is an integral part of wash bay design.

Depending upon the application and the nature of the wash water, Morclean can incorporate water reuse, water recycling and treatment equipment into the project.

Systems can include wash tanks, above-ground treatment equipment, oil removal, silt management and partial treatment of wash water prior to an approved discharge to the mains foul drain.

Our technical team considers the proposed washing activity, anticipated water volumes, contaminants and available drainage when developing the overall wash bay solution.

    Health & Safety and Site Management

    Health and safety forms an important part of every Morclean installation.

    RAMS are prepared as required for the works, and for projects involving excavation and civil engineering we can provide portable health and safety stations for use throughout the installation.

    Morclean is SafeContractor approved and operates accredited ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems.

    Our SafeContractor approval demonstrates our commitment to recognised standards of health and safety, sustainability and responsible working practices, providing clients with additional confidence when appointing Morclean for installation and project works.

    Environmental Compliance

    Correct containment, treatment and disposal of wash water needs to be considered from the beginning of any wash bay project.

    Morclean has extensive experience of vehicle and equipment washing applications and is familiar with the environmental requirements and guidance applicable across England, Scotland and Wales.

    Our team considers the proposed washing process, site drainage, water containment and intended discharge route when designing the installation.

    Where required, the project can incorporate silt separation, oil separation, water treatment, water reuse or recycling and controlled discharge arrangements to help the client meet applicable environmental requirements and site-specific conditions.

    Morclean caters to a diverse range of clients, including:

    Transportation and Logistics Companies:

    For cleaning and maintenance of fleets.

    Municipal Services:

    Such as councils requiring equipment like wheelie bin and refuse truck washing equipment

    Vehicle Refurbishment and Remarketing Firms:

    Providing facilities for vehicle cleaning and preparation.

    Cleaning Equipment Suppliers:
