DELVEX -
A CLEAN
WINNER IN
THE MARINE
SUPPORT
SECTOR
Ted Beattie is excited.
He predicts the potential of the Australian
Marine Complex is enormous and being
located nearby such 'terrific shipbuilding
companies' is certain to benefit his
specialist industrial steam cleaning
business.
Mr Beattie is the managing director of
Delvex Pty Ltd and has been operating
from 4 Egmont Road for just over two
years. Previously, Delvex operated at 22
Sparks Road for about three years.
"We're the largest company operating in
this area in the tank and bilge cleaning
business and this is the perfect location for
us, with customers situated in Fremantle,
at nearby Garden Island and in the AMC."
Mr Beattie said.
"I think this area has so much potential.
These new facilities are sure to attract
work to the area because we've already
got some terrific companies here.

Minister Clive Brown and general manager of ANZAC Alliance Phil Brown, at the Tenix shipyard.
"My only regret is that I'm not 20 years
younger to enjoy it all - it's so exciting."
Mr Beattie started his industrial steam
cleaning business in 1981 under the
name of Jetvac Cleaning. He acquired
Delvex Industrial Cleaning in 1987 and
combined the two entities under the
Delvex banner, specialising in the ship and
tank-cleaning sector.
Today, he has five tanker trucks on the
road and hires out on-site tanks to
customers.
Delvex specialises in the collection and
treatment of oil and water liquid waste
material from all marine vessels, including
submarines.
Mr Beattie proudly counts the Australian
Submarine Corporation, Tenix, Royal
Australian Navy, Austal and Oceanfast
among his top clientele, and he says
business is booming at present.
"We’re very cost effective because we're
right in the heart of the AMC and we're
able to treat the liquid waste on site at our
Egmont Road operations," Mr Beattie said.
"We don't have the transportation costs
that other firms have. They have to
transport the liquid waste all the way to
treatment facilities at Welshpool or
Armadale."
