About this tender
26_182 - Warwick Depot Truck Wash Southern Downs Regional Council invites tenders from suitably qualified tenderers for design and construction of Yangan Depot Truck Wash, as described in the tender package.

The conditions assessment report confirmed the existing truck wash is not functional and has been completely shut down and isolated. The existing wash down facility operates on a potable water supply only, with wash down waste, and any rainwater run off reporting directly to the storm water drain. This would be considered an environmental non-compliance, as the water could be contaminated with hydrocarbons and suspended solids if the truck wash was used. To re-instate the truck wash back to an operational state a wastewater take off is required to be installed along with concrete bunding.
