Case of Constructing a Car Wash

The building process of a self-service car wash.

Most often people think that a self-service car wash is a simple-looking structure, which can lead to incorrect estimates of the self- service car wash cost. We will try together to understand all the tiny aspects that arise during the construction of a self-service car wash. To illustrate the process, we have recorded the stages of the construction of a self-service car wash in the Moscow region at the address: Khimki, MD. Klyazma.

Design and Preparation

The work on the construction of a car wash begins with the research for land on which to build. When land is found, a lease agreement is signed with its owner. Another option is to find and purchase land.

A complete set of documents is issued for each erected car wash. Then, on the basis of the initial permitting data, including the town-planning plan, engineering-hydrogeological, topographic surveys, the technical task for the design is worked out together with the customer.

The next stage is collecting the necessary documentation. A complete set of documents is issued for each new car wash. Then, on the basis of the initial permitting data, including the town-planning plan, engineering-hydrogeological, topographic surveys, the technical task for the design is worked out together with the customer. Among other things, many parameters pointed out here are for the future car wash location. Like location on the master plan, overall dimensions, a technological system of sewerage and water treatment, location plan of pipelines, floor heating systems, as well as energy receiving devices.


After the approval of the project, we proceed to the construction of the facility.

Stages of Construction

Based on the "General Plan", we carry out field localization with a level check by altitude marks.

The next stage of work is the installation of the insulated foundation plates. Based on the geotechnical and approved design decisions, we install wells with sand traps in the middle of each bay, followed by a connection of technological sewerage, embedded pipelines, and engineering outlets. The main step in this process is to bring sleeves for engineering communications to the design marks since the monolithic slab foundation does not imply utility lines after concreting.

Для функционирования объекта в зимнее время применяется система теплых полов с возможностью управления каждым боксом — это позволяет отключать теплый пол в неиспользуемых боксах и экономить электроэнергию.

Bay floor heating system is installed for operation during cold weather. The system allows you to control each bay and turn off heating in unused bays to save electricity.

An important design decision is the use of B25 (M350) hygroscopic concrete with subsequent hardening of the top layer by Corund topping. This solution will increase the impact resistance, water resistance, and wear resistance of the floor. The next stage is the construction of a metal frame according to the KMD blueprints on a bolted connection with the use of galvanized metal structures using hot-dip galvanizing technology. This method increases the degree of protection and the service life of the frame. Next, the metal structures are assembled. The weight of the structures for 6 bay car wash is 7 tons.

The use of factory sandwich panels significantly reduces the duration of work, and the ability to choose any color from the RAL palette allows you to give the facade an aesthetic appearance.

The next stage is the assembly of enclosing wall structures, roof structures, and drainage systems.

Equipment Installation

After the construction is completed, we install advertising banners. At the same time, we do electrical installation and installation of technological equipment for the heating system using double-circuit boilers ACV delta PRO series.

The final stage of construction is the installation of an on-site water supply, wastewater disposal system, power supply, as well as additional equipment for a car wash. Like vacuum cleaners and outdoor sinks. After we do landscaping work, the car wash is ready to operate.

It is worth remembering the many nuances that are associated with the specific location of the construction site. The quality of the design decisions and the subsequent operation of the car wash directly depends on the professionalism of the designers and installers.

We have already mentioned that the construction of a self-service car wash is not as simple as it seems at first glance. It is worth remembering many nuances that are associated with the location of the construction site. For example, such as the complexity of the hydrogeological conditions of the site, the presence of constrained conditions, a complex sewage system, water recycling system, and floor heating system. Therefore, the quality of the design decisions and the subsequent operation of the car wash directly depends on the professionalism of the designers and installers.
