Transportation is a massive business in Australia. Food must be transported from producer to retailer, equipment and materials transported from supplier to mining site, mail to be transported from the originator to recipient and people to be transported from A to B.
Regardless of the industry, transportation stretches across many sectors and requires a significant number of vehicles to carry out the required duties.
As with anything, consistent use of fleet vehicles, trucks and machinery will eventually attract the need for cleaning and sanitation. The process of cleaning vehicles in such large numbers will inevitably require huge amounts of water to complete and will involve a range of chemicals and cleaning agents that are harmful to our environment.
Fleet maintenance challenges
Under the Environmental Protection Act 1994, Water Act 2000 and Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011, businesses may be subject to legal action if cleaning of their vehicles leads to negative environmental impacts. When commercial vehicle washing and maintenance is carried out, companies are required to adhere to these and other stringent council regulations for the appropriate disposal of wastewater or face enormous fines for noncompliance. This includes instances where untreated wastewater runs off into our stormwater systems and other waterways.
So, what are the benefits of acquiring a compliant fleet maintenance wash bay solution?
For companies dealing with vehicle fleets, trucks, buses and machinery, having a fully compliant wash bay system is the easiest way to avoid the ramifications of both the local authorities and local community.
While the idea of avoiding hefty fines is a great incentive for many businesses, acquiring a compliant solution to match your vehicle washing and maintenance requirements also attracts other great benefits too.
As consumers are becoming more concerned with eco-friendly solutions to suit their everyday needs, having the ability to state that your methods are environmentally friendly and sustainable is a great way to encourage new customers to choose your business over another.
Additionally, compliant fleet cleaning solutions, treatments and water recycling systems are also more economical than traditional washing methods and are likely to save you money on your water bill.

Wheel Wash or Wheel Bath
Wheel washes or wheel baths are a great solution for those fleets required to travel both on and off-road by reducing the amount of dirt and sediment that is transferred between the two. Lack of such a system can cause significant pollution to our waterways. Enviroconcepts’ wheel washes or wheel baths can be installed in places like construction and mining sites to avoid creating such pollution to local environments. Our heavy-duty, modular, drive-through system is fully automated and is initiated by a photoelectric sensor to provide a self-sufficient solution for your business.
