Industrial basin sediment pumping
An essential solution for the performance and compliance of your facilities
Industrial basins play a key role in managing water, sludge, and residues from industrial activities. Over time, sediments, sludge, and solid materials accumulate, reducing capacity, hindering flow, and increasing the risks of overflow, contamination, and environmental non-compliance.
Sanivac offers a specialized industrial basin sediment pumping service, adapted to all types of installations, whether retention basins, settling basins, sludge basins, or industrial process basins. Our teams ensure efficient, safe, and compliant cleaning, whether as preventive maintenance or emergency intervention.
Industrial sediment and sludge pumping
Controlled removal of accumulations
Sediment pumping consists of removing sludge, solids, and settled materials that accumulate at the bottom of basins. These deposits may contain organic, mineral, or contaminated materials, depending on the type of industrial activity.
Thanks to our vacuum trucks and large-capacity tanker trucks, Sanivac can pump :
- compact or semi-liquid sediments,
- industrial sludge,
- liquid materials containing solids,
- residues from industrial processes.
This intervention makes it possible to restore the basin’s capacity and ensure its proper long-term operation.

Industrial pumping adapted to all types of basins
Retention, settling and processes
Sanivac works on a wide variety of industrial basins, including :
- stormwater or industrial water retention basins,
- settling basins,
- sludge and sediment basins,
- treatment or process basins,
- basins related to hydro-excavation or industrial works.
Our pumping methods are adjusted according to depth, accessibility, the nature of the materials, and operational constraints, in order to ensure an efficient intervention without disrupting your installations.
Preventive maintenance and overflow prevention
Maintain capacity and compliance
Regular maintenance of industrial basins is essential to prevent :
- overflows and backflows,
- loss of retention capacity,
- overloading of pipes and pumping stations,
- environmental non-compliance.
Preventive sediment pumping helps extend the lifespan of basins, optimize water management, and reduce costly emergency interventions. Sanivac can establish maintenance frequencies tailored to your operations and regulatory requirements.

Industrial basin sediment pumping involves removing sludge, solid deposits, and settled materials accumulated at the bottom of basins. This operation helps restore basin capacity, improve flow, and prevent overflows or environmental issues.
We work on all types of industrial basins, including retention basins, settling basins, sludge basins, industrial process basins, and basins related to hydro-excavation. Our methods are adapted according to depth, access, and the nature of the sediments.
Over time, sediment buildup reduces basin capacity, overloads pipes, and increases the risk of overflows and regulatory non-compliance. Pumping helps maintain installation performance and prevent costly emergency interventions.
The frequency depends on the type of industrial activity, the volume of water treated, and the rate at which sediments accumulate. Regular preventive maintenance is recommended to avoid basin saturation and ensure optimal operation year-round.
Yes. Sanivac offers a 24/7 emergency response service for sediment pumping in cases of overflows, saturated basins, or critical situations requiring rapid action to secure the site and protect the environment.
The pumped sediments are transported by vacuum truck or tanker to authorized treatment or disposal sites, in accordance with environmental regulations. Sanivac ensures safe, responsible, and fully traceable management of the materials.
