In Portable Pressure Washer, Wash Pads, Wash Ramps

When Alberta industrial sites plan shutdowns, they face a unique challenge that most facility managers know all too well. How do you clean mountains of equipment all at once when your regular wash bay can barely handle day-to-day operations? During these critical maintenance periods, portable wash containment systems become convenient and essential for environmental compliance and operational efficiency. Companies across North America are discovering that mobile washing stations provide the perfect solution for shutdown cleaning challenges.

The Problem: Unique Cleaning Challenges of Site Shutdowns

Normal operations allow for scheduled, rotating equipment cleaning, but shutdowns change everything. With only one wash bay, the high equipment washing demands can feel insurmountable. Since all your exchangers, bundle units, and other machinery must be cleaned simultaneously, your site can experience extreme bottlenecks and significant slowdowns without adequate infrastructure.

On the other hand, building permanent wash facilities big enough to accommodate shutdown demands doesn’t make financial sense. Why invest in infrastructure you’ll only use for a few weeks each year? Most industrial sites have wash bays designed for day-to-day needs, not the peak demands of shutdown periods.

The Solution: Portable Equipment Washing Stations

Luckily, portable equipment washing stations solve both these problems with ease. When you partner with Enviro-Pads, we’ll ensure you have all the necessary containment equipment for a smooth and speedy turnaround. Use our standard wash pads to wash your shutdown and turn around equipment safely and with environmental concerns top of mind. Equipment specifications include:

  • Scalable Capacity: 10′ to 20′ wide pads with 7″ or 12″ height options
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Support loads up to 30 tons, with 50-ton capabilities overall
  • Substantial Containment: 20’ models hold up to 1,152 US gallons
  • Rapid Deployment: Forklift tubes and lifting eyes enable quick setup

Our convenient equipment rental services mean you don’t have to handle the hassle of cleaning and storing this large piece of equipment during regular site operation.

Planning Your Next Alberta Shutdown With Portable Wash Solutions

Preparing for a successful shutdown cleaning operation requires thoughtful planning tailored to Alberta’s unique conditions and regulations.

Assess Your Specific Requirements

Start by evaluating the volume and type of equipment needing cleaning during your shutdown. Consider equipment size, weight, contaminant types, and expected wash water volume.

Additionally, think about any additional equipment you might need, like undercarriage wash ramps or portable pressure washers. Both these products easily pair with your Enviro-Pads system, making equipment cleaning efficient and seamless.

Ensure Alberta Regulatory Compliance

Research the specific environmental regulations governing your industry and location within Alberta. Ensure your portable wash solution meets all relevant provincial and local compliance standards.

Many Alberta operations must document their wash water management practices for regulatory authorities. A quality portable wash system provider should help you understand these requirements and ensure your setup meets them.

Integration With Your Overall Shutdown Schedule

Position your washing activities strategically within your shutdown timeline. Coordinate wash station availability with your maintenance schedule to optimize efficiency.

Consider creating a detailed map of your Alberta facility showing where portable wash stations will be positioned to minimize movement and maximize throughput during the shutdown period.
