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. WA GRABS $150 MILLION OF DEFENCE WORK General manager of Tenix Defence, Marine Division (WA) Jonathan Smith, with State Development 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."
