Disposal of waste can be risky

Vacuum and pit clearing trucks

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.

Environmental degradation is a growing concern, and improper waste disposal doesn't just harm ecosystems — it also poses significant risks to workers and the public. When waste is not managed correctly, the concentration and total mass of discharged substances can create serious health and safety hazards. Beyond the environmental and personal impacts, operators risk substantial fines for non-compliance with waste disposal regulations. High-performance, non-destructive equipment like hydro vacuum trucks makes pit cleaning quick, efficient, and thorough. Hydro vacuum cleaning of electrical and communication pits is widely regarded as the most practical method for ensuring these areas are properly maintained. This innovative technique is incredibly versatile and offers solutions for a wide range of applications, including: Removing waste Cleaning sewer systems, stormwater drains, and pipes Electrical and communication pit cleaning Liquid waste removal Tank and vessel cleaning Emergency spill response Scheduled maintenance shutdowns Hydro vacuum cleaning also plays a critical role in the petroleum industry, where it is used to clean storage tanks, manage spills, and remove drilling mud, cuttings, cement, and brine water from production tanks. In fact, these services have become virtually mandatory in modern industrial and commercial operations due to their efficiency and safety. Whether dealing with public facilities, shopping centres, large industrial sites, rental properties, or renovation projects, programmed maintenance involving hydro vacuum cleaning can prevent minor waste issues from becoming major, complex problems. By addressing waste removal and cleaning needs proactively, businesses can ensure compliance, improve safety, and minimise environmental impact. Beyond its practical benefits, hydro vacuum cleaning is also cost-effective. It reduces downtime, limits labour-intensive processes, and ensures thorough results. These features make it an attractive choice for industries aiming to improve their environmental footprint without compromising operational efficiency. Sustainability starts with rethinking how we treat waste. Employing advanced cleaning techniques like hydro vacuum cleaning helps preserve our environment by delivering efficient, safe, and technologically responsible solutions for water, waste, and energy management.
