Heidelberg Materials Keeps Trucks and Roads Clean with Hot Water

For more than 70 years, Heidelberg Materials has been a trusted supplier of construction materials in Australia. With more than 3,600 employees across 300 sites, the company runs an extensive production and logistics network nationwide. 

The Challenge

Transporting aggregate is one of the most critical parts of the business. Keeping trucks clean is essential not only for safe maintenance but also for preventing slurry from being carried onto public roads. At their quarry site, more than 90 trucks pass through the wash bay every week. 

A site assessment performed by a SPITWATER solutions specialist identified two key challenges:

• Current washdown processes were too slow, tying up the wash bay and staff resources 

• Standard cleaning setups could not effectively reach underbody areas where slurry and debris were accumulating 

Compliance and Efficiency Delivered

With SPITWATER in place, Heidelberg Materials keeps its trucks clean, its roads slurry-free and its fleet maintenance-ready, all while saving time and labour across the site.
