A unitary or modular, pre-cast, drive-down pit system suitable for use in a heavy
equipment wash installation. The completed pit collects runoff generated by the
washing of heavy equipment such as construction, industrial, farming, or road-building
equipment. The pre-cast concrete separation unit and separate wall sections have
tongue and groove mating ends that facilitate assembling the pit and provide for
sealing against leakage of water. The wall sections have built-in rebar attachment
and water block elements at an angle so as to provide for a strong and waterproof
bond with the ramp floor. The ramp floor is concrete, poured after installation
of the separation unit and the wall sections to complete the finished drive-down
pit. The separation unit has up to four chambers: a primary solids collection section;
a secondary solids settling chamber; a free oil separating section; and a pump
water holding section.
