Super Sucker Services
Super Sucker Services in Richards Bay
Super sucker services remove sludge, slurry and tailings material that can't be handled by conventional cleaning — using vacuum recovery equipment built for wet, semi-solid conditions.
This is specialised work: it requires the right equipment, the right dewatering setup, and crews who know how to work safely on tailings dams and process ponds.
Trained operators come with every job, and both scheduled cleanouts and urgent spill-recovery callouts are handled — talk to us directly about timing for anything urgent.
Applications

Equipment
Our super sucker work is supported by trailer-mounted diesel pump and dewatering units, so a site can be dewatered and the recovered material extracted in the same operation.
