The Challenge

Coates faced the challenge of obtaining a wash bay that met environmental requirements, ensured compliance, and was cost-efficient. The complexity increased with the need for approvals, especially in acquiring the waste trade permit. Additionally, Coates wanted to ensure their wash bay was able to be packed up and moved to a new premises if the need arose.

The Solution

CleanaWater provided a total package to address their specific needs. The modular wash bay solution offered by CleanaWater was not only cost-efficient but also aligned with environmental and compliance standards. The commitment to managing all compliance and administrative aspects played a significant role in Coates’ decision to choose CleanaWater.

CleanaWater worked closely with Coates to design a wash bay tailored to their requirements. Regular team meetings and effective communication streamlined the process, particularly in dealing with the complexities of obtaining council approvals. The wash bay, a 9.6m by 6.5m structure with four decks, Colorbond walls on three sides, five ramps, an oil water separator, a sludge tank, and stormwater diversion, was custom-built to accommodate a variety of equipment, including access equipment, small compaction equipment, and general hire equipment used predominantly in mining operations. The full turnkey service provided by CleanaWater ensured that Coates had a seamless experience from design discussions to the final product.

David Bradley, the regional manager at Coates, expressed satisfaction with the end product and the overall experience of working with CleanaWater. The modular wash bay not only met their immediate needs but also offered the flexibility to adapt to future changes in premises.
