As urban development and infrastructure projects continue to expand worldwide, efficient and environmentally responsible waste management becomes increasingly important. GN Solids Control has recently supplied a complete Modular Hydrovac Slurry Dewatering System to an overseas client engaged in urban excavation, aiming to transform hydrovac waste into reusable resources while ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
Modular Technology for a Cleaner Jobsite
Hydrovac excavation, while safer for underground utilities, generates large volumes of slurry consisting of water, soil and debris. Traditionally, this waste is transported to disposal sites—an approach that is costly, inefficient, and environmentally taxing. GN Solids Control‘s modular system provides an on-site solution that minimizes both waste volume and transport costs.
This advanced system includes:
GNLMP-1536 Coarse Screen Module: Captures large rocks and construction debris from the raw slurry stream.
GNZS596K Double Deck Shale Shaker: Offers fine screening on two levels, ideal for urban excavation fluid management.
GNZJ594J-8N Desilter Module: Removes finer sand and silt, protecting downstream components.
GNLW553D-VFD Decanter Centrifuge: Handles ultrafine particles with precision control, reclaiming water suitable for reuse.
20-ft Chemical Dosing Module: Enhances separation with accurate polymer dosing for improved flocculation.
Environmental and Operational Gains
By processing hydrovac slurry on-site, contractors can:
✅ Cut Down on Transportation and Disposal – Less slurry volume means fewer trips and lower costs.
✅ Recover Water for Reuse – Treated water can be reused for drilling or cleaning, promoting circular resource use.
✅ Meet Environmental Regulations – Clean effluent discharge ensures compliance with increasingly strict waste standards.
✅ Improve Jobsite Efficiency – Modular design enables rapid deployment and relocation between sites.
A Responsible Choice for Modern Cities
The modular system of GN Solids Control represents a significant step forward for urban contractors who seek both performance and sustainability. It not only meets the technical needs of hydrovac operations but also supports broader environmental and cost-efficiency goals.
