What are Concrete Washouts?

  • Concrete Washout Process – To put it simply, the term concrete washout refers to the process of cleaning out concrete slurry from mixing trucks, chutes, wheelbarrows, and other containers. This process is typically performed at the end of every day of construction to prevent the slurry from hardening inside the containers.
  • Concrete Washout Containers – Now that we have explained the process of concrete washouts, allow us to explain the other definition of the term, which refers to the place where the washing happens. Our team offers containers specifically designed to facilitate your concrete washouts, making it easy to remove concrete slurry from your equipment without letting it seep into the soil. Concrete slurry has been shown to negatively affect local plant and wildlife, so more and more construction companies are using dedicated concrete washouts (the containers) to prevent this substance from seeping into the soil.

If you want to make sure your project has the lowest possible environmental impact, we encourage you to give our team a call today to learn more about our dedicated containers for concrete washouts.
