CMI Hino

Overview of client

CMI Hino, a provider of heavy vehicle service and maintenance, operates multiple sites across Melbourne to offer comprehensive geographic coverage for their clients. As part of their growth, CMI Hino expanded into a new leased facility in Campbellfield, which houses a large maintenance workshop and a showroom. However, the new site presented a challenge: it lacked a compliant wash bay necessary for post-service vehicle cleaning, and the lease agreement restricted any extensive modifications or civil works.

The Challenge

With limited ability to perform civil works due to the leasing constraints, CMI Hino needed a wash bay solution that could be installed without altering the existing infrastructure. This posed a significant challenge, as any modifications could risk violating the lease terms. Additionally, the solution had to be flexible enough to accommodate future relocation or expansion, providing long-term value without requiring landlord approval.

The Solution

CleanaWater provided CMI Hino with a comprehensive turnkey solution, offering a modular wash bay tailored to their needs. The 6.5m by 12m wash bay was designed with three-sided walls, extended to a height of 2.4m to protect the surrounding area, and included five ramps for easy access. One of the key benefits of CleanaWater’s modular design was that no civil works were required, preserving the integrity of the existing concrete floor and ensuring full compliance with the lease terms.

The wash bay features an electric diesel-heated high-pressure cleaning system with self-retracting hose reel, as well as detergent injection capabilities for effective cleaning. Additionally, a sludge settling tank was integrated into the oil water separator design, allowing for extended service intervals and cost savings. CleanaWater also managed the entire project, including plumbing, electrical works, and securing a trade waste agreement with Yarra Valley Water. CMI Hino simply needed to specify the desired location for the wash bay, and CleanaWater handled the rest.

The Results

CMI Hino’s operations manager praised the new wash bay, stating it was “the best wash bay we’ve ever used.” The solution not only met their current requirements but also offered the flexibility for future relocation, making it ideal for their leased facility.

CMI Hino is highly satisfied with CleanaWater’s solution and recommends the modular wash bay for its adaptability, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with lease agreements.
