How One Bus Depot Streamlined Safety and Efficiency

In the fast-paced world of public transport, reliability, presentation, and safety are critical, not just for performance but for public perception.

That’s why a major UK bus operator recently partnered with SEKO to improve its south-west London depot’s chemical storage and dispensing systems.

The result? A safer, more efficient, and cost-effective cleaning process for both vehicles and facilities.

A Need for Better, Faster Cleaning

Operating multiple day, night, and school routes, the depot sees a constant flow of buses requiring a quick turnaround. With buses returning in varied conditions — from dirty floors to graffiti-marked panels — the cleaning team needed a solution that could keep pace without compromising quality.

The operator also faced the challenge of maintaining the depot itself, especially floor areas exposed to pollution, rubber deposits, and grease, as well as inspection pits requiring heavy-duty cleaning.

SEKO’s Tailored Solution

Following a detailed site assessment by SEKO, the depot installed the following solutions.

• Three SekureMax 5-litre chemical storage cabinets – providing secure, tidy storage with customizable branding options for clear identification and safety communication.

• One ProMax dilution and dispensing system – a high-performance, wall-mounted unit capable of delivering up to 30 litres per minute of precisely diluted chemical, on demand.

Thanks to SEKO’s modular design and quick-fit mounting brackets, installation was fast and nearly tool-free.

Efficiency at the Push of a Button

With SekureMax securely storing concentrated chemicals, users simply select their desired product on the ProMax dial and push a button.

The system then automatically delivers the correct dilution, eliminating manual mixing, reducing waste, and protecting staff from handling concentrated chemicals.

Clean Buses. Clean Depot. Clean Results.

This combination of smart storage and high-speed dispensing helped the operator:

• Improve turnaround time for vehicle cleaning
• Ensure consistent cleaning standards across the fleet and depot
• Reduce chemical waste and overuse
• Enhance staff safety

A Scalable, Cost-Saving System

With its modular setup and foldable design, SEKO’s system is built for flexibility and growth. Additional units can be added as needed, while robust materials ensure long-term durability in busy environments.

This is just one example of how SEKO — available through RapidClean Members — supports transport and commercial operators with practical, effective cleaning solutions.
