The solution
What Cleanawater did
Calling on decades of expertise in water authority regulations, Cleanawater identified our first flush/stormwater diversion system as the ideal solution.
So we supplied and installed a first flush/stormwater diversion system that differentiates between mains water and rainwater falling on the wash pad. This meant only the necessary first flush was diverted, with the remaining water going to stormwater.
As an above-ground diversion system, no excavation was required during the installation process – meaning no expensive downtime.
With low ongoing running and maintenance costs, the first flush/stormwater system gives Aitkin Cranes cost-effective compliance with water authority requirements. As a low-cost solution, Aitkin Cranes saved thousands on installing a roof over the wash pad.
The result? A low-maintenance, low-cost water treatment solution that fit the brief perfectly.
- Low-cost water treatment solution
- Significant ongoing cost savings
- Minimal excavation required
- Minimal downtime during install
- Low maintenance requirements
