New technology expands Company's stormwater
and wastewater solutions.
VANCOUVER, Wash., March 30,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ParkUSA, a Northwest Pipe
Company (Nasdaq: NWPX), a leading manufacturer of water-related
infrastructure, is now a major distributor of a stormwater
diversion system used in wash pads and outdoor pavement areas. The
Fox Environmental Diversion Systems automatically divert the 'first
flush' of rain or wash water from a wash bay or pad for treatment
before it enters a storm drain network.
Many wash pads are housed in covered structures, which enables
the roofing system to collect rainwater and prevents it from
entering the sanitary sewer. The Fox Environmental Diversion
Systems are ideal for use in unroofed wash areas, open bays, and
parking lots. They incorporate a patented demand valve that
automatically diverts wastewater to the sanitary sewer for proper
treatment while diverting all clean rainwater to the stormwater
system. Fox Environmental Systems, a privately held company located
near Brisbane, Australia, is the
inventor of the diversion system. ParkUSA is now the exclusive
distributor for Fox Environmental Systems across North America with the exception of
California, Nevada, and Hawaii.
ParkUSA offers two diversion systems. The Demand Driven
Diversion System is triggered with a hose and wash wand, while the
First Flush Diversion System is best used in larger spaces and
automatically activates with rainfall. Both systems are Uniform
Plumbing Code listed and are ideal for use in car washes,
aviation or fire station wash areas, garbage dumpster or compactor
areas, as well as gas stations and fuel transfer depots. ParkUSA is
currently including the technology in a variety of engineered
solution projects, including a marina wash rack, a garbage truck
wash, a splash park, a parking garage, multiple fire stations, and
a National Guard vehicle maintenance shop.
"This distributorship with Fox Environmental Systems is a
strategic step for us to further our innovative product offerings
in stormwater and wastewater management," states Scott Montross, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Northwest Pipe Company. "These washdown systems are in
line with our commitment to provide sustainable water management
solutions, are proven to protect stormwater, and can be used in
wash bays of any size, regardless of roof height or the absence of
a roof."
