Concrete Washout Systems, Inc. Recognized by One of the Nations Largest Environmental Engineering Firms

Elk Grove, CA.-September 15, 2004 - Concrete Washout Systems, Inc., (CWS) announced today that Paradigm Engineering, one of the nations largest environmental engineering and consulting firms, has begun listing the Concrete Washout System into their storm water pollution prevention plans to better serve their clients and the environment.

Paradigm Engineering, LTD. of Lewisville, TX (Dallas), just celebrated its 10th year of service.  As a Storm water management specialist, Paradigm has begun writing the portable concrete washout container into their client’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans in select markets currently serviced by Concrete Washout Systems partners.  Paradigm Engineering’s 1,800 clients list currently includes companies such as; The Home Depot (NYSE: HD), Centex Homes (NYSE: CTX), KB Home (NYSE: KBH), DR Horton (NYSE: DHI), Ryland Homes (NYSE: RYL), Beazer Homes (NYSE: BZH), Pulte Homes (NYSE: PHM), Lennar Homes (NYSE: LEN) and many more.

“The CWS system solves one of the construction industries greatest compliance problems of concrete washout entering streets and storm drains.  Not only does it solve a major compliance issue, but it also creates a much needed recycled product for the construction industry.  As a consultant, we look for practices that are good for business and good for the environment.  The CWS system meets both criteria,” stated Johnny Combs. P.E. R.E.M. CPSWQ, Founder and CEO of Paradigm Engineering.

“We are very pleased to have a company of Paradigm Engineering’s caliber as a partner with the clients they represent.  We see the CWS as the best available technology, best management practice and thus the best risk management and compliance tool available in the market today,” stated Mark Jenkins, President of Concrete Washout Systems, Inc.  “Paradigm is at the forefront of their industry because they maintain a strong commitment and personal interest with their client and they seek out new technologies, such as ours, that impact their client’s business and ultimately their client’s bottom line,” added Mr. Jenkins. 

The patent pending CWS is a portable, self-contained and watertight bin that controls, captures and contains concrete washout material and wastewater.  It allows trade personnel to easily washout concrete trucks, pumps and equipment on site and facilitates easy off site recycling of the same concrete materials and wastewater, while protecting the storm drain system from potential illegal discharges. The off site recycling component creates an even more environmentally sound application. This system replaces other outdated washout BMP’s, which are costly, unsightly and damaging to the environment since their containment value diminishes, due to inherently faulty material, over use and lack of maintenance.
