This project involved design and construction a modern state of the art car wash. Features of the car wash include:
• Water recycle system with underground concrete tanks
• Triple interceptors
• Boat/caravan wash area
• Allowance of 6 cars to line up for auto wash bay
• Two street frontages
• Solar electricity
• Concrete tilt panel construction
• Galvanized steel work
• Demolition of existing structures
• Anti-theft alarms
• Tamper sensors and security camera system
• Turn key handover to include everything down to the sign writing and turf.
This project was completely designed by the in-house team at Virtue Homes. Our aim was to create a modern, fresh, clean look within the wash bays, part of this was to avoid using tiles. Our team researched a suitable paint that could withhold the chemicals and punishment of a car wash which has achieved a great result.
Modern claddings were chosen, including nail strip and Exotec panel system to provide a classy look and feel.
All points of the client brief were achieved with high quality components used throughout, which will be a big advantage in the future by providing excellent reliability and durability.
