Do you wash Parking garages? Post if you do or wants too...

The biggest I.have done was about 3,000,000 sq ft. I wish they all were that big. I average about 300,000 sq. Ft
 
I have done some small parking garages here, maybe about 20,000 sq.ft.

I want to get into cleaning the larger parking garages.

I would like to learn from some of the guys out there that have done them to shorten the learning curve, I can fly out there and help out for 2 or 3 days or longer while learning on the job how you guys deal with the issues of larger parking garages.
 
Yeah, I want some parking garages! It is great to watch the videos with all of the water handling and fire hoses. When I see it I know that is something I want to do.

How frequently do most garages consider it to be feasible for cleaning? I was just wondering what the repeat would look like.
 
In my opinion, a fire hose is the wrong way to go about cleaning a parking garage. I know others have a different opinion. There is too much water used, too much water to filter and it is not a sustainable method of cleaning. Ironically, most parking garage operators around here, will not permit a contractor to deactivate the fire suppression systems in order to clean the garage. You would have to do that in order to use a fire hose.
 
Scott when the fire system is deactivated does it deactivate in the building also???

Anyone with experience, what is the average time it may take to adequately rinse a parking garage floor ?

(lets say no vacuum recovery available), 100000 sqft, done every two years, highly populated,....with 4 washers at 5.5 gpm

(I think this maybe the average # of washers that most may use to clean a garage, but if I am incorrect feel free to identify the average number of machines and total gpm , and estimate the time to rinse).

Thanks

Yep we do them! Just bid a million sq ft last month waiting to hear about it. We did clean a 190,000 last year and a 19,000 last month.

That 19,000 square feets a baby.
