Let's start with an interesting fact not everyone will be aware of...

"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."

So, in short, if your contaminated water is not being collected and disposed of in the appropriate manner, the law is being broken.

Morclean have constructed a whole range of solutions that not only satisfy current legislation for the containment and disposal of water, but also eradicate the need for any excavation or below ground installations. If that wasn't enough, Morclean also offer a bespoke Design and Build service, with each produced unit having a unique registration number to ensure identification during construction and quality inspection/ testing.

The Morclean fitting team have recently installed a batch of three Wash Pads at one of Europe's leading Used Vehicle sites, with another 4 locations to be installed. The new permanent surface mounted Wash Pad (as pictured) is a sealed bund made from a mixture of welded plastics and fibreglass panels, making a solid, impermeable and dedicated liquid containment area for tough applications.

The Wash Pad is fitted with ramps for vehicle access and is built in sections for transporting and installing efficiency. The Wash Pad is available in 5x3M and 6x4M standard sizes as well as other bespoke dimensions, made to order.

The external gratings are easily removed for cleaning and maintenance, and the Morclean Wash Pad is manufactured at just 100mm height to prevent accidental damage, should the vehicle not enter or exit using the provided ramps.

The Wash Pad captures all the water into a drain and a surface mounted sump pump which can be discharged to foul, partially treated via a Morclean BlueBox or GreyBox, or pumped to a water reclaim system.

The wash mat can also be used in conjunction with the Morclean Pump Station which is a surface mounted device, housed in a kiosk that collects water from the outlet of the Wash Pad and then pumps it to the drain.

A traditional concrete wash area is costly and not always possible to install. The Morclean fixed Wash Pad can be installed in hours, and as it is surface mounted, there is no excavation or disruption to the work place. With added options of the Morclean water reclaim/ filtration systems and three versatile designs, many applications are possible, especially as they can be built to order.
