Notes from all over

The purchase of  new design software has enabled the design team to build virtual wash systems and to perform 3D prototyping of new systems before any weld is put to metal. The 3D drawings allow the sales team to present prospective clients with finely hand-crafted multiple 3D views of their new wash system. We are also using the new software to produce all our workshop and construction drawings.  Our trusty but 10 year old CAD program is being retired.

The recently completed relocatable site workshop will be able to support the installation team on the remote sites and enable complicated site specific alterations to be completed when required. The workshop has work space, solid work bench and all electrical hand tools and bench drills, drop down saws, versatile bench vice and an on board generator to ensure power supply is always on hand.

Marty Whitton completed a trip to the underbody wash quarantine system installed on the Savannah Way in Queensland to ensure we have been successful in our efforts to minimise the spread of noxious tropical weeds into the Etheridge Shire. The wash was designed to wash all vehicles entering the Shire and travelling from the Coastal areas. When the travel bug bites and you fancy a trek across the Savannah Way from Cairns QLD to Broome WA plan a  stop for a refreshing drink at the Mount Surprise Hotel, just 300 metres from our wash.

This unit was installed four years ago and was washed over 68,000 vehicles since then. This visit by Fleetwash ensured all systems are go and the dreaded tropical weed seeds are being washed off.

The diesel-powered relocatable underbody wash at the base camp of the works area for the potable water pipe line from the Wivenhoe Dam, Queensland, to Toowoomba has been in operation since the opening of the site works and is operating on a very busy daily schedule.
