Wastewater Vactor Services
Vacuum Services for Wastewater
Industrial vacuumation is used to remove sludge and debris from underground assets. Overtime, grease, oils, trash and debris can build up inside sewer lines. This can reduce capacity and lead to overflows or backups. To prevent this, wastewater professionals vactor out sludge and debris using industrial vacuumation trucks. Functioning as a high-powered vacuum, the sludge is pulled from the pipelines and into the weir tank on the truck for later disposal.
Importance of Industrial Vacuumation
Industrial vacuumation is a non-invasive method of underground infrastructure cleaning. It is the best choice for cleaning combined or separate sewer systems, leachate lines, lift stations, manholes and junction boxes. Used in conjunction with jetting, vacuum trucks remove debris, sludge and coagulate from pipelines and other infrastructure.
Without regular cleaning, infrastructure is susceptible to failure due to blockages and system build up
Frequency of Vactor Services
Frequency of vactor maintenance varies per asset and potential muck accumulation. Pipelines that convey grease and oils should be vactored more frequently as these are prone to buildup. Once the sludge and muck is removed from the asset, it is temporarily held in the tank on the truck. Once the tank is full or the job is completed, the material is disposed of at an appropriate waste facility.
Maintaining Underground Infrastructure
Wastewater on Your Property
Vactor and Jetting is also crucial for inspections and repairs. Underground inspections performed with CCTV require cleared pipe for the rover to navigate. Additionally, vac and jetting is used before and after pipeline repairs to clear construction debris from the system and prevent additional environmental harm.
Vactoring wastewater assets is essential to reducing backup and overflows. In addition to reducing emergencies, regularly vactoring wastewater pipelines ensures you can:
- Maintain Efficiency
- Minimize Health Hazards
- Prolong Infrastructure Life
- Comply with Regulations
Prolong The Life of Your Wastewater System
AQUALIS offers comprehensive maintenance and regular servicing solutions tailored to your property to ensure your wastewater systems operate correctly while extending the life of your investment and avoiding costly NOVs.
Wastewater Systems We Maintain
Combined or Separate Sewers
AQUALIS will remove buildup from combined sewer systems to reduce overflows and backups.
Leachate Lines
Leachate lines need to be cleared to reduce potential system failures and environmental contamination.
Lift Stations
Removing sludge from lift stations allows technicians to inspect the system and conduct any potential repairs.
Maholes & Junction Boxes
Overtime, manholes and junction boxes collect debris and trash and should be regularly cleared to allow for proper conveyance.
Underground Infrastructure is Cleared with Industrial Vacummation
Vactor and jetting services together, loosen and remove debris, sludge and other pollutants from underground infrastructure. Then CCTV can perform an underground inspection.
