Truckwash Express

To meet a need driven by the large number of trucks serving the Bakken Oil fields, the Truckwash Express was designed for fully automated truck wash equipment that could service up to 3 trucks at one time and would facilitate heavy mud and snow removal.  Given the extreme weather conditions in the area, the facility was constructed with pre-cast insulated concrete panels and features in-ground radiant heating at the exterior entrances to avoid snow and ice accumulation.Ra
