Vacuum Loading For Liquid Waste Removal

Vacuum Trucks

 
Our modern fleet of vacuum loading trucks and high volume trailers (3000 – 25000 litres) are designed to meet your needs efficiently and cost effectively.

Southeys has extensive project experience in delivering vacuum loading services on many of New Zealand’s main roading, tunneling and civil construction projects, often in a wide range of technically challenging environments.  We approach Vacuum loading with the following attributes:

 

  • Underground services are protected as we use rubber hoses; it is not typical to work around underground utilities, but our workers are trained to adjust their work method to suit the situation
  • Latest technologies for fuel efficiency travel and onsite operations.
  • Our longevity has enabled an extensive knowledge base in regards in the challenges typical in this line of work, examples will be provided
  • Competent reliable workers with a high level of experience and training.
  • Disposal being located adjacent to our depot reduces road congestion.
  • The Disposal option we can provide enables 100% recycling of waste.

Our capabilities include:

 
  • High volume waste removal
  • Emergency spill response
  • Waste disposal

Case example:  Deployed under urgency to resolve a critical issue:

Southeys were subcontracted by Fletcher Construction to develop and implement a plan for the collection and disposal of HDD drilling fluids during pipe pulls on the crossings at Te Wharau Creek and Upper Harbour.

The Upper Harbour pipe pull at circa 1200m long and with 3 pipelines and pipe pull durations of estimated at between 14 to 22 hours and 900m3 of drilling muds was the most problematical.

The key issues faced were, the overall fluid volume, its flow rate, on site space and storage constraints (very limited storage), variable nature of the pipe pull, the need for continuous disposal and working in a, the sensitive environment.

Southeys were able to establish the people and equipment resources and develop and operational, environmental and safety plan incorporating factors such as flow rates, loading rates truck volumes, turnaround time to disposal site, tipping time, 24x7 disposal availability, manning, logbook hours, back-ups, contingencies for variations in the main operations and environmental contingencies.

Southeys delivered this service to plan & budget and without incident
