CRH Roadstone

SiteWash by Glanaco
Automated wheel wash systems for construction, mining and quarrying
SiteWash cleans the wheels and underside of every vehicle leaving the site, so mud stays on site instead of on public roads and in drains. Wash water is recycled in a closed loop, and sites spend less on water and road sweeping.
Designed and manufactured in Ireland and Germany since 2007
Selected customers
How SiteWash is built
One steel superstructure. Your choice of tank.
Every SiteWash spray system uses the same bolted steel superstructure, engineered and certified once and built in 2 m modules. The superstructure is specified over the SiteWash steel tank, an existing concrete tank or a settlement lagoon.
01
Minimal groundworks
An excavation and a compacted stone base. No concrete pit, slab, anchor bolts or pipework between wash and tank.
02
One trailer, one lift
With the SiteWash steel tank, everything ships inside it. No welding or hot work on site. Two fitters install a SiteWash 4 in one day.
03
No moving parts in the wash bay
Fixed jetted grids and spray bars, with no rollers, scrapers or conveyors. The only moving part is the submersible pump in the tank.
04
Relocatable
It unbolts and lifts out when the entrance moves or the job ends, ready for the next site, so one system serves project after project.
05
Built for local partners
One design across every size, one drawing set and one training module.

Purchase or rental
Buy it or rent it

Knowledge
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a wheel wash?
A wheel wash cleans the wheels and underside of vehicles leaving a construction site, quarry or mine, so mud and sediment stay on site instead of being carried onto public roads.
How does a SiteWash work?
The vehicle is detected on approach and the cycle starts automatically. Nozzles wash the tires and underside, the water drains back to a recycling tank, solids settle, and clean water is pumped back to the nozzles.
What makes SiteWash different?
Every system uses the same bolted steel superstructure, specified over the SiteWash steel tank, an existing concrete tank or a settlement lagoon. Groundworks are an excavation and a stone base, there are no moving parts in the wash bay, and the wash water is recycled in a closed loop.
Is SiteWash a portable wheel wash?
SiteWash is relocatable rather than trailer-mounted. It unbolts, lifts out and is reinstalled at the next site. With the SiteWash steel tank, everything ships inside the tank on one trailer.
Can I rent a SiteWash?
Yes. Rental is available direct in Ireland and the UK, and through partners in other markets. Rental includes delivery, installation, commissioning and collection.
Where are SiteWash systems made?
SiteWash systems are designed by Glanaco and built to Glanaco specification in Ireland and Germany. Glanaco Limited was founded in Charleville, Co. Cork in 2007.

Direct in Ireland and the UK. In North America through Cascade's network of around 700 dealers and regional partners. In Denmark and the Nordics through BG Fix. Elsewhere, contact Glanaco.
