The ‘suck n truck’ method of waste removal

Builders and site owners are normally required by a development consent to have adequate erosion control measures in place at construction sites, meaning there are mandatory regulations for controlling soil erosion including removing accidental spills of soil onto roadways, gutters and public thoroughfares.

The need to minimise on-site vehicle activity when the site is muddy, while restricting vehicle access to one stable entry and exit point is also now being increasingly scrutinised.

Sucker trucks are tank trucks that feature a heavy-duty vacuum system designed to use the technology to load liquids, sludge or slurry through suction lines.

Pneumatically sucking sludge, slurries, liquids etc. on-site into the tank of the truck, the material is then transported to another location for approved/safe disposal.

Used extensively in the construction sector, sucker trucks are also engaged in the petroleum, gas and mining industry for cleaning of storage tanks and spills along with removal of most wet material including drillers mud.

Sucker trucks can also be used for sewer pipe cleaning and septic emptying, clearing of storm drains, sewer lines and catch basins as well as just most projects requiring the removal of debris or liquids.
