Dust Suppression & Water Treatment Hire
Frequently Asked Questions
What dust suppression and water treatment equipment can I hire?
Our network covers dust suppression cannons and misting units, water bowsers and pumps, wheel washes, and water treatment kit such as settlement tanks, dosing and filtration for site runoff. Tell us whether the problem is airborne dust or dirty water and we’ll match the right setup.
How far does a dust suppression cannon throw?
Misting cannons typically throw a fine spray from around 30 to 80 metres on the larger units, with adjustable elevation and oscillation to sweep across a working area. Give us the size of the area and the dust source and we’ll spec a cannon that reaches it.
What’s the difference between a misting cannon and a water bowser?
A cannon atomises water into a fine mist that knocks airborne dust out of the air over a wide arc, while a bowser carries water around site to damp down haul roads, stockpiles and the ground. Many demolition and earthworks sites run both. Tell us the job and we’ll advise.
Do you hire wheel washes to keep mud off the road?
Yes. Wheel wash systems clean tyres and chassis before vehicles leave site, which keeps the public road clear of mud and helps you meet your planning and Highways conditions. Tell us your vehicle numbers and exit layout and we’ll recommend a unit.
What is a settlement tank and when do I need one?
A settlement tank takes silty water from excavations or dewatering and lets the solids drop out before the water is discharged. Lamella tanks use inclined plates to settle faster in a smaller footprint. Tell us your flow rate and how dirty the water is and we’ll size one.
What does water treatment hire involve on a construction site?
It’s about getting silty or contaminated site water clean enough to discharge, combining settlement to drop out solids, chemical dosing to catch fine silt, pH correction to bring down alkaline cement-contaminated water, and filtration. We’ll help you build a treatment train to suit your consent.
Do I need a discharge consent or permit?
If you’re discharging site water to a watercourse, sewer or the ground you’ll typically need consent from the Environment Agency or the local water company, with limits on suspended solids and pH. Sort the consent first, then we’ll supply treatment kit that meets the figures you’ve been given.
Why do I need dust suppression on a demolition or earthworks site?
Suppressing dust protects your team’s lungs, stops nuisance and visibility issues for neighbours and the public road, and helps you meet planning and air-quality conditions. Tell us the activity, whether that’s demolition, crushing or haul roads, and we’ll match the right suppression.
Do you deliver and set up the equipment?
It depends on your location and current availability. We coordinate delivery and collection through our supplier network, and can often help with urgent or time-critical jobs, subject to availability. Send us your site postcode and we’ll confirm a realistic delivery time.
