Water!

by | Sep 3, 2026 | Company News

You’ll surely have read or heard that the UK has just had the driest summer since records began, and as we go into autumn there are parts of the UK that haven’t had any meaningful rain for more than 50 days – tell them that water isn’t a precious resource! We’re regularly being told that this is a result of climate change – disruption of weather patterns, and increasing occurrence of extreme events.

So, as we go into autumn rain is more likely across the country but it will take more than a few showers to replenish the reservoirs and aquifers. But there will be mud on sites and you have a responsibility to keep the roads at your site exits clean.

Ecogreen’s waterless wheel wash system won’t waste water or land you with any water bills, it won’t contaminate water courses, and it won’t just make more mud.

Not just a rumble strip – our system is built differently, with 30mm wide bars spaced at 200mm centres there is much more vibration and tyre flex, and next-to-no surface for displaced mud to collect on. As well as being eco-friendly it is very effective.

For that reason it has been chosen for many major UK projects over the years – HS2, Hinkley Point C, The New Forth Crossing, The Heads of The Valleys Road, Devonport Dockyard, Sizewell C Approach, Testos Roundabout, many road widenings and bypasses, and countless other lower profile projects.

Call us or complete out enquiry form if you’d like to know more, or a quotation for your next project.
