Sludge Tank Cleaning

Cleaning tanks where solids have really settled in

The main challenge in sludge tanks is not always access. It is the condition of the material itself. Once solids compact and bind together, they can become difficult to shift without a method that combines agitation, jetting, pumping and vacuum loading in the right order.

We plan around the sludge volume, the consistency of the material, the tank layout and what needs to happen next. In some cases the clean is about restoring capacity. In others it is about getting the tank ready for inspection, maintenance or a wider shutdown programme.

Where the removed material enters a regulated waste stream, handling and transfer still have to reflect GOV.UK hazardous waste guidance. We can also support connected contaminated waste disposal work where needed.
