DISAB - Safe, Efficient Bulk Waste & Material Removal for Industrial Sites


For heavy industrial environments, standard waste removal methods aren’t always safe or effective, especially when dealing with fine powders, hazardous sludges, or inaccessible tanks. That’s why McBreen Environmental offers a powerful, low-emission DISAB vacuum recovery and bulk material removal service designed for high-risk and high-volume environments.


This DISAB specialist service is available for short-term or long-term equipment hire, supported by trained operatives and nationwide coverage.


What Is Industrial DISAB Vacuum Removal?


Our DISAB industrial vacuum service is capable of safely extracting both wet and dry materials, including:


  • Sludge, slurry, filter cakes and sediments

  • Powders, dust, fly ash, and granular materials

  • Aggregates, soil, cement dust, and residues

  • Industrial waste from tanks, pits, hoppers and silos


Using a high-capacity vacuum unit with a telescopic boom, we can access materials in elevated, confined, or hazardous spaces, minimising manual handling and significantly reducing airborne dust.


Key Benefits of Our DISAB Vacuum Waste Removal Service


1. Minimal Downtime

Our system enables rapid, large-volume material removal (up to 12,000 litres), helping keep your plant or site operational.


2. Low Dust & Low Noise Operation

With dust emissions as low as 1.3 mg/m³ and a noise level of only 75 dBA at 7 metres, our unit is ideal for sensitive or indoor working environments.


3. Improved Safety

The telescopic boom and remote discharge system reduce the need for confined space entry or manual shovelling.


4. Versatile for Multiple Industries

Used extensively in steel, cement, paper, energy, and wastewater sectors for tank cleaning, pit clearance, and bulk product recovery.


Safe Utility Exposure – DISAB Vacuum Excavation Services


One of the most valuable uses of this unit is non-destructive excavation to locate buried underground utilities. Instead of using a mechanical digger, we combine vacuum loading with pressurised water or air to safely remove soil without damaging cables or pipes.


This service is ideal for:


  • Locating unmapped underground utilities

  • Digging trial pits or boreholes in contaminated sites

  • Preventing cable damage during excavation

  • Safe working around gas, fibre, and electrical infrastructure


Utility providers, developers, and civil contractors are increasingly using this safer alternative to traditional excavation to reduce risk and meet compliance standards.


Commercial Use Cases


We regularly provide vacuum recovery and material removal services to:


  • Wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations

  • Steel and cement plants

  • Power and heating stations

  • Industrial tank and silo maintenance teams

  • Civil contractors working on road, rail, or urban utility networks


Whether you need a planned cleanout or emergency site support, we can deploy quickly with a fully equipped unit and qualified crew.
