Technically Advanced. EPA/DEC Compliant. At Veolia we have a vast array of technical advanced, self-contained vacuum loading equipment and trucks, capable of cleaning your site effectively and efficiently, whether it is an emergency or routine maintenance. These trucks range in capacity from 10 cubic metres to 18 cubic metres.

Our vaccum loading techniques include positive displacement and liquid ring vacuum pumps; which are designed for efficient and safe removal of dusts, solids and liquids from confined spaces and pits.
