Acumen Waste Services

Industrial Projects

AWS handles industrial site projects from regional depots around the country and can supply cleaning, decommissioning and demolition services to most major industry sectors.

We have proven operational capabilities in a wide range of difficult areas and can offer an impressive range of resources, technologies, tailored solutions and responsive delivery which includes:

Remote Tank Cleaning

In response to customer requirements and changing legislation AWS pioneered the development of an innovative tank cleaning service which featured a non-man-entry vessel de-sludging and cleaning system.

This system considerably reduces the risks involved in confined space tank entry. AWS’s approach is usually faster and considerably more cost effective than previous traditional methods, which need scaffolding-out and final manual surface preparation.

On busy tank terminals, time spent by our customer on product changeovers is critical to optimising vessel utilisation. The AWS approach delivers a safe, cost effective solution with quality assured product changeovers.

Decommissioning

When tackling difficult decommissioning projects, our service delivery is designed to minimise risk to our and your staff, the public and the environment.
To achieve this, effective training and attention to detail is critical and we make it a priority to ensure risk assessments and method statements are produced which ensure that our employees adhere to the latest legislation and codes of practice.

Site Clearances

AWS provides professional, efficient and progressive site clearance services for industries across the UK.
We concentrate on pre-planning and specification, thorough knowledge of legislation, health and safety expertise and the latest available technologies to provide practical, economical and responsible solutions.
This starts with a thorough project specification and ends with a clear exit strategy.

We operate on a national basis from a network of operating centres, offering in-house expertise and direct logistical support to every project.

Emergency Spill Response

AWS offers a ‘best intention’ spill response

Projects

Our on-site industrial services start with a thorough assessment of your project. A project/Key account manager provides a single point of contact, producing extensive risk assessments, method statements, managing our on-site personnel and any subcontractors and offering practical advice and guidance in meeting your legislative requirements.

A comprehensive system of progress reviews and consistent health, safety and environmental monitoring helps to ensure a successful project and a smooth hand over to client at the project's conclusion.

Mobile Physio Chem Treatment

AWS provides bespoke sludge dewatering solutions to all areas of industry. Using mobile preconditioning systems and filterpresses, efficient liquid solid separation systems are available and can be constructed in accordance with the particular problems, scale and nature of the project.

Confined Space/BA Trained Operators

In operating its Industrial services, AWS personnel are involved with internal and external cleaning of tanks, areas and spaces, which may be confined, inhospitable and contain suffocating and harmful atmospheres.

To work in the above situations AWS operators are trained in Confined Space Entry and in the use of Breathing Apparatus, gaining external qualifications which are used in conjunction with internal company training.

This allows us to provide a skilled, highly competent workforce able to operate safely and cost effectively to provide the highest standard of work.
