Potable Water Tank Cleaning17.02.2017 | Marketing

Today HV7 and our Clean Water confined space crew cleaned a sludge holding tank on a potable works, under a very tight timeframe and against incoming flows controlled by tankers. Job was complete within 3 hours, our client is very happy and we are now scheduled to do it every 6 months.  Well done Danny, Scott B and Paul B.

Pump Exchange 35m deep09.02.2017 | Marketing

Another pump exchange has been undertaken by Celvac's confined space team, safely and successfully.  Over the years we have assisted with the removal and replacement of pumps and other pieces of equipment from deep confined spaces and on this occasion the pump was retrieved from a depth of over 35m. This operation involved 3 cranes, 1 x 100t to lift the pump, 1 x 25t to lift the man-riding basket and another crane on standby for emergency retrieval of the man-riding basket.  Our team was equipped with full BA and life jackets and followed a safe system of work that was developed in partnership between Celvac, the client and the crane company.  In fact this methodology has been adopted by our client as best practice across all of their regions of operations.

Digester Cleaning 201702.02.2017 | Claire Gottwaltz

We've had a busy start to 2017, having already finished the cleaning of 2 waste water digesters.  We've processed over 3000m3 of waste via our mobile screening units and are now waiting for these assets to be handed back to us for purging and refilling.

Sps Cleaning January 201702.02.2017 | Claire Gottwaltz

It’s been a busy start to 2017 with our sewage pumping station cleaning crews visiting over 500 SPS assets across the Thames, Welsh Water and Wessex regions this month. Carrying out both top and entry cleans, the majority have been part of the planned maintenance programmes we deliver for clients but some have been in response to SPS performance issues and in readiness for specific weather events. 

Our confined space cleaning crews have also had the opportunity to put the newest addition to our hyper-vac fleet through its paces.  HV25 is proving to be a compact and powerful 2000 gallon 1200 CFM unit that can reach difficult to access locations, is equipped with Chapter 8 Traffic management and can recover and discharge materials from up to 100m deep and up to 300m in distance.
