HAZARDOUS WASTE SERVICES
With a full basket of waste management solutions,
EnviroServ ensures that customers across all in-
dustries have peace of mind. The company has
the specialised skills required to remediate dams
and ponds. Dams and ponds (lagoons) have a lim-
ited lifespan or may become compromised and
leak or may need to be emptied so that their lin-
ers can be replaced. Where dams are used to store
brines, salts tend to crystallise out over time to a
point where the dam needs to be emptied. Some
clients may have historical dams that are unlined
and against current environmental standards pose
a liability to the environment and the whole site has
to be remediated.
EnviroServ has extensive experience in emptying
and cleaning dams and ponds; whether the con-
tents are liquid or sludge, as well as whether the
liner system needs to be removed or not. These
types of systems typically require:
• Skilled labour with the correct PPE to support
the operational activities especially where
the material to be removed is chemically
hazardous.
• Industrial vacuum units like SuperSuckers and
pumps to vacuum the material from the site.
• Storage tanks like 10kl Roll On/Roll Off (RoRo)
tanks or road tankers for temporary storage
ahead of removal from site.
• Decontamination units, if required, to remove
hazardous residues from vehicles and
equipment to prevent further contamination
downstream of operations.
• Excavators, front end loaders, as required to
excavate more solid material that cannot be
vacuumed.
• Additional logistical requirements like skip
trucks, tipper trucks and container bins that
may be required to support the project.
• This just demonstrates that any size of project
can be tackled, and the appropriate equipment
and logistics will be supplied accordingly.
