Rigid Portable Wash Bays with Supports

When your operations involve high-volume washdowns or require superior structural integrity, standard flat mats may not be enough. At GPS Environmental, we supply high-capacity rigid portable wash bays with external supports. Designed for maximum stability, these heavy-duty containment systems are engineered to handle the toughest industrial cleaning tasks across Australia while ensuring total environmental compliance.

Rigid portable wash bays are heavy-duty, temporary containment systems equipped with structurally reinforced external supports or wall brackets. These rigid supports hold the containment sidewalls firmly upright, allowing the wash bay to safely capture and hold significantly higher volumes of washdown water, heavy sediment, and hydrocarbons without the walls bowing, collapsing, or requiring air inflation.

Our rigid portable wash bays are built for industrial strength and reliability, offering a robust alternative to standard drive-over mats:

• Reinforced Structural Supports: External rigid brackets keep the sidewalls securely in place, even when the bay is filled to capacity with wastewater.

• High-Volume Containment: The raised, supported walls allow for the safe pooling and containment of large quantities of washdown runoff.

• Freestanding & Stable Design: The structural supports ensure the bay maintains its shape and integrity on varied terrain without the need for complex permanent infrastructure.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from highly durable, UV- and chemical-resistant materials built to withstand the harsh Australian climate.

• Rapid Assembly: Despite their structural rigidity, these wash bays remain fully portable and can be quickly assembled, dismantled, and relocated as your site evolves.

GPS Triangular Foam Sidewall Portable Bunds offer fast, flexible containment for temporary bunding and washdown applications.

The flexible foam sidewalls allow vehicles, forklifts, drum trolleys and pallet jacks to enter and exit easily while still maintaining spill containment integrity.

Key features include:

• Rapid setup with no tools required
• Compact storage and easy transport
• True drive-in, drive-out capability
• Lap joint welded construction for maximum strength
• Excellent resistance to ripping, tearing and puncture

These portable bunding systems are fuel and chemical resistant, making them ideal for:

• Pump and generator bunding
• Temporary storage of tanks and drums
• Heavy equipment containment
• Vehicle wash down mats

Available in custom sizes, capacities range from 500 litres up to 15,000 litres, providing scalable containment solutions for Australian worksites.

GPS Collapsible or Drive-Over Portable Bunds are designed for compliant storage of drums, plant and equipment while safely containing hazardous liquid leaks and spills.

Their collapsible sidewalls allow quick access for:

• Vehicles
• Forklifts
• Trolleys
• Maintenance equipment

The bund wall supports are lightweight yet extremely strong, ensuring containment of large liquid volumes while remaining easy to transport and reposition.

Constructed from heavy-duty 900gsm PVC, with optional upgrade to 1020gsm XR5 geomembrane, these systems offer resistance to:

• Punctures and tears
• Abrasion
• UV radiation
• Temperature extremes
• Hydrocarbons and oils
• Methane and alkalis

Wall heights are available in both 300mm and 500mm configurations. For extended lifespan, ground mats and vehicle track mats can be added to reduce wear from rough surfaces.

These systems are well suited to both mobile operations and semi-permanent installations.

GPS Rigid Bunds provide cost-effective and practical temporary storage for liquids and chemicals while containing potential spills.

These rigid portable wash bays are:

• Transportable and reusable
• Ideal for restricted or confined spaces
• Suitable for temporary or permanent applications

Internal aluminium brackets insert into specially designed bund pockets, reinforcing the 300mm bund walls and providing structural strength while minimising trip hazards. The supports can be removed as required, offering flexibility depending on operational needs.

Rigid bund systems are particularly useful where defined containment walls are required but space is limited.

Local councils and environmental authorities across Australia enforce strict regulations regarding the containment of washdown water and industrial runoff. Allowing hazardous chemical spills or wastewater to escape your worksite can lead to severe environmental damage and costly fines.

GPS Environmental’s rigid wash bays provide a failsafe compliance solution by:

• Securely holding large volumes of contaminated water at the source.

• Preventing uncontrolled spills from entering municipal stormwater systems or natural soil.

• Acting as a reliable primary catchment area before wastewater is pumped into an oil-water separator or advanced treatment system.

Because of their high containment capacity and structural stability, rigid portable wash bays are the preferred solution for operations that generate significant amounts of wastewater. They are highly effective for:

• Washing down oversized earthmoving and mining equipment

• Agricultural machinery and heavy plant servicing

• Transport, freight, and logistics wash stations

• Aviation and defence force maintenance

• Decontamination zones and emergency hazard recovery

Since 1985, GPS Environmental has been a trusted leader in Australia’s wastewater management industry. We understand that every worksite has unique demands, which is why we supply a wide range of portable containment solutions engineered to balance operational efficiency with environmental protection.

If your site requires a robust, high-capacity washdown area without the expense of permanent concrete infrastructure, our rigid portable wash bays are the ultimate solution.
