A waste of no-one’s time . . .

Disposal of waste can be risky

When it comes to environmental degradation failure to dispose of the waste properly carries not only a risk to the environment but to workers and the public.

It is the concentration of the substances discharged, and their total mass that creates an issue – and can often pose a health and safety risk – and can bring with it fines to operators.

High performance non-destructive equipment makes pit cleaning quick and easy. Hydro vacuum cleaning of electrical and communication pits is generally viewed as the only practical way of cleaning them properly. 

Whether it’s public faculties, shopping centres, large industrial sites, rental properties or renovation works, programmed maintenance offers a simple solution to avoiding often complex problems later on.

Hydro vacuum cleaning is not only efficient, but cost effective and can be employed when it comes to;
  • Removing waste
  • Sewer, stormwater drain and pipe cleaning
  • Cleaning pits
  • Liquid removal
  • Tank and vessel cleaning
  • Emergency spill situations
  • Scheduled maintenance shut downs
Vacuum and pit clearing trucks are also used in the petroleum industry, for cleaning of storage tanks and spills, while they’re also virtually a mandatory requirement in today’s professional and social environment when it comes to removing drilling mud, drilling cuttings, cement, spills, and brine water from production tanks.

Sustainability and rethinking how we treat waste helps to preserve the environment for everyone by delivering efficient, safe and technologically responsible water, waste and energy solutions.

In construction, knowing exactly what’s underground before you dig isn’t just a good idea—it’s essential. At Excavac, we’ve been using this method for over 20 years.
