Project Overview
A water utility required large volumes of sediment to be removed from site rather than stored nearby. Truxor equipment was used alongside specialist dewatering contractors to achieve this safely and efficiently.

Water Utility Desilting with Silt Cake Processing
9 October 2023, Northern England — Regional Water Utility
Working Process
Material was pumped directly into a processing tank where additional equipment separated water from the sediment. The resulting 'silt cake' was transferred into containers for transport and disposal.
The project demonstrated the flexibility of Truxor silt pumping equipment when integrated into larger environmental engineering operations involving multiple contractors.
Results
Significant quantities of sediment were successfully removed while maintaining continuous site operations and meeting environmental requirements.
