We have just embarked upon a new wash bay project for a company that cleans down refuse trucks in Denbigh, Wales, which will be executed in separate three phases over a one-and-a-half-year timeline. This project will comprise of the installatio n of silt traps, an interceptor, wash water collection tanks, a water reclaim system (where all the all water is fully recycled), a gantry with steps and a walkway to reach top of vehicles, screens, two fixed jet washes, hose reels and pipe work.  The way that each phase of these works is being broken down throughout this period of time is as follows: Phase 1 - Supply 01 November 2021 Silt trap Interceptor Wash water tanks Phase 2 - Reclaim  Scheduled for early/mid-2022 Installation Phase 3 - Wash Bay Installation Scheduled for Spring 2023 Gantry Screens 2 x fixed jet wash Hose reels Pipework Some projects need time. We have the knowhow and patience. We'll be updating you on the first phase of this project soon, but in the meantime, che...

With Phase 1 of Project Crick all complete, we're now on to Phase 2 of this exciting Northamptonshire based project. We recently informed you of a new project that we're undertaking for  one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and service providers of superior cleaning technology.  Involving the installation of  twin/double wash bays, t he  kerbing of the 12 x 12m large wash bay area is underway, as it the 6  x 4m area for the second one.  We're also set to install a 2m long silt trap in the large wash bay, and  a 1m silt trap into the smaller one.  The w ash bay interceptor is to follow, along with the connection  of both silt traps to the interceptor. This interceptor will then be conntected to foul drain, and the  silt traps and the interceptor will be back-filled.  Concrete will be poured into both wash bays and they will be laid to falls, whilst concrete will also be poured to form a slab for the plant room, with brush ...

We're all fired up for our most recent Wash Bay installation project, for a company located in Northampton that  provides a quality total cleaning solution for domestic and commerical industries alike. Phase 1 of the Crick based project had already commenced, ecompassing complete site clearance, including the digging out and removal of trees, with excavation and levelling to begin as soon as the site is completely clear. This will involve r emoving soil and stone from the 12m x 12m area  (144m2), taking levels and marking out the wash bay.  Phase 2 will consist of the installation of silt traps and an interceptor for a double wash bay, and the placement of a kerb around the 12 x 12m area, whilst Phase 3 , the final phase, will see   the installation of the screens. Please refer back to our blog at https://morclean.blogspot.com on a regular basis to see how this project progresses, and to view and any other news, updates and new product launches available at...

Morclean’s vehicle wash bay projects are a fundamental part of the business. S ince the turn of the new century - f rom concept and design, right through to civils and installation - our team has delivered countless successful turnkey projects throughout the UK and beyond  with a gritty determination and focus to deliver on time, and on budget. From Morclean's early beginnings as a supplier of mobile hot water jet wash machines, we eventually added hot static/fixed hot water machines to our portfolio in the late 80’s. In the early '90s, we began supplying fuel tanks and accessories - such as hose reels, user posts, remote controls, etc. - with the machine.  We continued to evolve, supplying housing/GRP, gantries, silt traps, interceptors, and water reclaim systems.  Then, in the early 2000s, Morclean did one of its early civils projects, where the team installed silt traps, interceptors, and a wash bay. We were hooked! Gradually increasing our workload year-on-yea...

London based Thames Street Works - a civil engineering, surfacing, road lining, and hydro blasting company - has placed an order for a Morclean silt trap; and Vetroday - a building, construction, and property maintenance company located in Poulton le Fylde - has ordered a Morclean interceptor - both of which will be delivered tomorrow! Thames Street Works has opted for Morclean's ST2000/D Silt Trap , while Ventroday has chosen to go for our Wash Bay 6000 , but what are these systems exactly, and why are they so essential for the aforementioned industries? SILT TRAPS The build-up of silt and dirt in drainage systems can be a major problem, particularly from vehicle wash facilities, and the construction and mining industries. Due to the nature of the construction industry, certain activities can result in the production of small particles of stone, wood, and more, which can then be carried by rainwater into the drainage system, possibly presenting serious issues.  ST2000/D Si...

We have another new and exciting project starting in Hale next week, for a forward-thinking company that washes highways agency vehicles and salt gritters (vehicles with a jet wash and gritters with a hose). Morclean was approached to find a viable solution to collect wastewater. Firstly, we will install a silt trap, then a diverter chamber which diverts the water between wastewater and groundwater when it is raining. The wastewater is then collected and the automated diverter starts/stops when washing either type of vehicle. The duration of the project will roughly be 1 week, where excavation works will be untaken and the tanks, diverter, and control panel installed. We love our projects and are extremely proud of them, always striving to give our clients the best possible solutions!

In these difficult times we're relying more than ever on 3rd party transport, and palleted loads. This particular delivery is no exception and is heading off to Cumbria  today to a merchant in Carlisle The silt traps will then make their onward journey to several Highways Agency sites in the north of England. Typically these locations store the gritters and other servive vehicles which are also maintained and  washed on site Silt traps are designed to provide a sump for collecting wash water and is typically placed in the centre of a wash bay so that the wash water falls to one collection point. Placed prior to the interceptor a silt trap collects larger debris and can be accessed via a hinged galvanised grating for easy manual emptying. As well as a collection point the silt trap collects debris and prevents excessive silt entering the interceptor. The water from the wash bay can be collected in a silt trap. The GRP structure contains the water and is fitted w...

Product Development Here at Morclean we are always adding and improving to the range of stock we offer to our customers- and 2017 will be no exception. At the beginning of next year we will be releasing a new Silt Trap range which will be aimed at smaller car wash operations or busy car wash and valeting sites. The new range will bring a host of new advantages including D400 gratings and a wider variety of sizes. The main advantage will be their strength and the ability to install them in a granular surround instead of concrete. This will save money when it's come to civil costs. We've standardised the production of this range to avoid building to order and so that we can keep more stock and easily supply on demand. Keep posted for a release date, and as always if you have any questions get in touch with us. Tel: 01246 471147 Email: sales@morclean.com www.morclean.com
