"I was mowing the lot before we broke ground and I stopped to answer a call, and when I looked up, there was the arch right in front of me-the Gateway Arch in St. Louis," Newman recalled with a laugh. "So there you go." The view inside Archview Tank Wash, which opened in May-unlocking a host of new advantages for its tank truck sister company-is equally impressive. The two-bay wash facility, which is attached to a new four-bay truck terminal and an office building located on 18 acres just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, features a customized four-vat tank cleaning system from A-One Chemicals and Equipment, two isolated wash systems for paints and polymers, an advanced water treatment system, two 60-horsepower boilers-and enough space for two additional cleaning bays. "I didn't want the vats in the wash bays themselves, because they get nasty and dirty, so I put them in the water treatment room," Newman said. "But to do that I needed another 12 ft. added to the building, and since it was going to be too costly to add only 12 ft., I ended up adding 60, and building two more bays for future expansion. "So we have two active bays now, and two that will be finished by the end of the year." |
