The main arch is supported by a folded steel column, mounted on a 600 x 300 base plates to ensure safe and secure installation.

All steel work is shot blasted then hot dipped galvanised to ensure a long and rust free life. All concrete fixings are supplied and set by the Archway installation team to ensure quality control.

Brushes

Fitted between these arches are twin rotating brushes, one each side of the wash bay. These are supported by an independent steel framework and are fitted with top and bottom bearings, rubber cushioned drive couplings, reduction gearbox and drive motor.
