Vacuum Services

From dust busting to heavy sludges and any solids or liquids that will go through an 8” hose, our hi-volume, wet/dry vacuum equipment is the most effective handling alternative to meet your needs. Some of the reasons for choosing vacuum conveying over conventional methods are:

a) Not handling material twice
b) Material can be hauled offsite by the same truck
c) Liquids can be pressure offloaded into a tank
d) Makes remote access a non-issue
e) Decreases downtime by being more expedient

Pit and sump cleanout - our vacuum trucks and high density pump makes short work of all pits, sumps, trenches and catch basins without needing to add water which saves on disposal.

Tanks - AVS is fully equipped to do turnkey tank cleaning on tank removal. We provide all necessary services for a tank project from cleaning and disposal of liquids and sludges to tank removal and soil remediation.

Site transfer - our 3500 gallon vacuum tanker equipped with pressure offload makes site to site transfer of liquids fast and easy.

Power plants - our experienced personnel remove fly ash from boilers, penthouses, ductwork, hoppers, stacks, precipitators, and baghouses. We do all aspects of plant work including waterblasting and vacuuming of coal and slurry.

Ductwork - no ductwork job is too large or too small, from economizer ducts in power plants to ventilation ducts, we do them all.

Steel plants and foundries - we clean material from drainage systems including pits and trenches; provide general cleaning of machinery and vacuum sand from basements and silos.

Plant shutdowns and maintenance - employees are trained to do high-quality, high-efficiency work using hydroblasters and vacuum support to minimize costly downtime whether it is a scheduled outage or an emergency shutdown.

Central cooling systems - all aspects of liquid and sludge removal including pressure washing flumes and pits can be easily cleaned with our specialized equipment.

Roof vacuuming - our ballast removal system eliminates the labor intensive wheel barrow and shovel method. It speeds up the tear off process, reduces dust and lessens disposal costs since the gravel can be recycled.
