Decontamination Showers

Portable Containment for Abatement & Remediation Crews

Decontamination showers from Grimeworks provide a safe, controlled transition between contaminated work areas and clean space during asbestos abatement, mold remediation, lead abatement, and hazardous material response projects. These portable units let crews remove contaminated PPE, rinse off hazardous particles, and re-dress in clean clothing before exiting a containment area — a critical, and often regulatory, step in preventing contaminants from spreading beyond the job site.

Our lineup is built on Aerospace America's collapsible portable shower platform, engineered for fast setup and reliable performance on demanding abatement and restoration job sites.

How a Decontamination Shower Protocol Works

A standard decon setup follows a three-stage sequence, moving crew members from contaminated to clean in a controlled path:

Equipment Room — Workers remove contaminated disposable coveralls, tape, and PPE before proceeding further.

Shower Room — Workers rinse contaminated skin, hair, and any remaining residue under running water.

Clean Room — Workers dress in clean clothing and street clothes before leaving the containment area entirely.

This sequence is what actually prevents fiber, dust, or contaminant transfer from a work zone to common building areas, personal vehicles, and workers' homes — skipping or rushing through any stage undermines the entire containment strategy.

Shop Decontamination Showers

Aerospace America Portable Shower #9105 (Collapsible Decontamination Shower) — The original collapsible, telescoping decontamination shower designed for fast deployment in restoration, remediation, hazardous material handling, and industrial work environments, with quick assembly built into its core design.

Aerospace America Compact Portable Shower #9106 — A lightweight, collapsible decontamination shower built for restoration, remediation, hazardous material response, and industrial applications, with a compact design that's easy to carry up stairs and into confined spaces.

Choosing the Right Decontamination Shower

Job Site Access — If your work regularly involves stairs, tight hallways, or confined access points, the Compact Portable Shower #9106 is purpose-built for that kind of transport. For standard job site conditions, the original #9105 offers proven, fast-deploy performance.

Setup Speed — Both units are built around collapsible, telescoping designs for rapid assembly — a meaningful factor when you're setting up and breaking down containment on a tight project timeline.

Compliance Requirements — Confirm your specific project's regulatory requirements (OSHA, EPA, or state-level abatement rules) around decon facilities before finalizing your setup — requirements can vary by contaminant type and project scale.

Companion Equipment

A decontamination shower doesn't operate in isolation — pair it with the right supporting equipment for a complete setup:

Water Filtration — The Aerospace America 2 Stage Pump #9115 is purpose-built to pair with the Portable Shower #9105, filtering and managing water for the shower stage of your decon protocol.

Entry/Exit Frames — Expand and enhance your containment and decon system setup with additional framing designed to integrate with your shower units.

Replacement Parts — Genuine OEM replacement components are available to keep your shower system deployment-ready between projects.

Getting the Most from Your Decontamination Shower

Never Skip a Stage — The three-stage sequence only works if crews move through all three rooms in order, every time — rushing through or skipping the shower stage is one of the most common causes of decon protocol failure.

Practice Setup Before You Need It — Fast deployment only helps if your crew is actually practiced at assembly; run through setup before it's needed on an active job.

Maintain Water Supply and Filtration — Confirm your water filtration and supply setup is ready before deploying the shower stage — an interrupted water supply mid-project defeats the purpose of the decon sequence.

Inspect Before Each Deployment — Collapsible units see repeated setup and breakdown; check seams, frames, and connections before each new job.
