Leachate wells play a crucial role in managing liquid waste in landfills, preventing contamination of surrounding soil and groundwater. Over time, these wells can become clogged with sediment and other debris reducing their effectiveness and also posing an environmental risk. Our leachate well cleaning services ensure that your system operates at maximum performance, minimising downtime and maintaining regulatory compliance.
Why is Leachate well cleaning essential?
- Prevents blockages: Sediment buildup can block pipes, leading to reduced flow and potential overflow. Regular cleaning can prevent these issues, ensuring smooth operation.
- Environmental compliance: Government regulations mandate guidelines on leachate management. Clean wells prevent contamination to surrounding soil and water sources.
- Extends lifespan: Routine maintenance and cleaning prevent wear and tear on critical components, extending the longevity
- Improves efficiency: clean wells enhance leachate flow and collection, reducing the risk of system overload and allowing for more efficient waste management.
Key considerations for effective leachate cleaning
Where possible, we reduce the volume of leachate in the pipes before jetting to enhance cleaning efficiency and improve the performance of high-pressure jets.
It’s crucial to clean both the leachate collection pipes and the riser pipes to maintain full system functionality. Ignoring the riser pipes can lead to leachate build-up and prevent proper removal from the sump.
We ensure that all dislodged solids are removed from the system using vacuum equipment, preventing future blockages in the gravel pack and sump.
Post-cleaning video inspections provide a clear visual record of the pipe’s condition, verifying that the system has been properly cleaned.
