Hydro Engineering Inc. Introduces New Innovations to its Hydropad Above Ground Steel Equipment Wash Racks

Historically, all types of vehicles and equipment have been washed on a surface made of concrete with in-ground collection pits; the alternative is an above ground steel wash rack.

Concrete equipment wash pads require architectural design, PE stamp, a building permit and bids from contractors to build the wash rack. Once the construction of the concrete wash rack is completed, it becomes a permanent fixture

Pick Your Wash Location

 

 

This alley was the perfect spot. A little cleanup and the equipment is ready to be placed.

Setting Pads In Place

   

As the first pad is placed, a level is taken to ensure that there is about 2' of slope to the side of the Hydropads where the side gutters connect. This gets the water and solids going where they need to go.

These pads were shimmed with a 1X4. Pretty simple!

Side Gutter Placement

   

Lay Out High Solids Collection Gutters

In this installation, the side gutters were installed against the building. It works perfectly because all the wash and water filtration equipment is on the other side of the wall.

This wall will be cleaned up and the equipment will go right here. The Hydropad is just outside this wall.

Set Equipment In Place

 

The utilities, 110 volt power and a water supply, were already there. The customer already had a pressure washer.

No sewer connection was available so the Hydrokleen recycling system provided for re-use of the wash water.
