Choosing the Right Wash Water Containment System for Your Site
Wash water containment is the first step toward compliance. We offer containment pads that are either above ground and made of steel or built-in and poured with concrete. Both options provide seamless integration with our washing and recycling systems.

Wash Water Containment FAQs
What's the difference between an above ground wash rack and an in-ground wash system?
An above ground wash rack installs in a matter of hours without building permits and can be relocated or expanded later, making it a good fit when portability matters. An in-ground wash system is a permanent installation that’s often more economical when permitting isn’t an obstacle and the site won’t need to relocate.
Do I need a permit to install a wash rack?
An above ground wash rack can typically be installed in a matter of hours without applying for permits. A poured concrete in-ground wash system is a permanent structure and may involve permitting depending on your site and local requirements.
Can Riveer build an enclosed wash booth for an existing facility?
Yes. We offer the booth enclosure, washing equipment, and wash water recycling system as a single, integrated package, so an existing manufacturing facility can add EPA-compliant washing without operating separate pieces of equipment.
What happens to solids and wastewater captured by a wash pad?
Solids and effluent are typically washed into a sump, then pumped into a filtration unit where solids are separated from liquids and the water is treated for reuse, rather than discharging untreated water into a sewer or storm drain.
