Manhole and Vault Cleaning
Manholes and utility vaults are essential components of underground infrastructure, providing access to utilities like water, sewer, electrical, and telecommunications lines. Over time, these confined spaces accumulate debris, sediment, and other materials that can obstruct access and compromise the functionality of the systems they house. Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial to ensure these spaces remain safe, accessible, and operational.
Our Approach to Manhole and Vault Cleaning
We utilize advanced hydro excavation techniques for thorough and efficient cleaning of manholes and vaults. Here’s how we do it.
Assessment and Planning
1. Our team begins with a thorough assessment of the manhole or vault, identifying any specific challenges such as the type of debris, depth of the structure, and the presence of any hazardous materials.
2. We develop a customized cleaning plan that takes into account the unique characteristics of the site, ensuring that all safety protocols are in place.
Hydro Excavation Cleaning
1. Using high-pressure water jets, we break up and dislodge dirt, sediment, grease, and other debris that have accumulated over time. The water pressure can be adjusted to effectively clean without damaging the structure or any sensitive equipment housed within.
2. Simultaneously, our vacuum system extracts the dislodged materials, transferring them to a debris tank for safe disposal. This method is not only efficient but also minimizes the risk of damage to the manhole or vault.
Inspection and Reporting
1. After cleaning, we conduct a thorough inspection of the manhole or vault to ensure that all debris has been removed and the structure is in good condition.
2. We provide detailed reports, including before and after photos, to document the cleaning process and any potential issues that may need attention, such as structural damage or signs of wear and tear.
