Tanks including septic tanks and grease traps are not designed with facilities for human occupation so external tank cleaning methods such as water jetting are often used. If entry is needed, Mantank can easily fulfil any requirement for documentation such as confined space permits and permits to work, as well as completing all tests for contaminants and stringently monitoring all work in progress. Mantank understands all these requirements and is able to plan and execute the tank cleaning process professionally.

Our service professionals develop custom solutions based on the customers objectives, analysis of the tank and its contents, the project site and environmental considerations. Mantank will always promote safe working practices and will examine methods of cleaning tanks remotely before using man entry techniques. However, when required, all man entry is carried out under strict confined space procedures using the latest safety equipment and breathing apparatus.



Ultra High Pressure Water Jetting

The introduction of ultra high pressure (UHP) water jetting has increased the types of work that can be carried out successfully using the water jetting method. UHP works at pressures up to 60,000 psi (4000 bar) and speeds of Mach 1.5 and requires specialist knowledge and experience to harness its full potential. Our bespoke solutions have solved problems such as removing hazardous chemical waste from inside silos and concrete from drains.
