EWSG maintains active emergency response and support contracts for more than a half-dozen municipalities in Florida

Envirowaste maintains one of the largest fleets of heavy equipment in the Southeast U.S., including more than 40 combination Jet/Vac Trucks, and 20 Pump Trucks in Florida alone. Our Pumpers have a minimum capacity in excess of 4000 gallons.

Emergency Bypass

Our huge fleet of pumper and Vactor combination trucks allows us to provide the most responsive emergency bypass services in our regions, for situations that call for a way to safely and properly handle flows while their usual containers are offline, being repaired, or being set up for repair or cleaning. Emergency bypass services may be needed in any of several scenarios, in which sanitary, stormwater or potable water flows are unable to occupy their usual components of their collection, distribution or treatment systems.

Industrial Spills

EWSG’s combination jet/vac trucks and air movers allow us the versatility to clean up industrial or other large spills of any kind, as long as the materials are non-hazardous. We can vacuum up most types of material spills—liquids, dry materials, a mixture of wet and dry, and sludge—as long as the material can flow through a six- or eight-inch hose or tube, has a flash point higher than 150 degrees, and is non-hazardous under EPA classifications.

Hurricane Recovery

Hurricanes can have a particularly damaging effect on municipalities and all their systems and departments. Whether it’s filling the gap for equipment that goes offline in a power outage, or pumping out overflowing lift stations inundated by stormwater, we’ve been tapped many times to assist cities and towns in our tropical system-prone service territory to help them return to normal as soon as possible after these devastating storms pass through.

We generally start assisting municipal and county customers in their hurricane recovery efforts before a tropical storm system or hurricane actually arrives. Our decades of experience have taught us that some emergencies can be avoided altogether by planning well and activating before the inevitable excessive rainfall really gets started. We work on an annual contract basis that allows authorities to simply pick up the phone, tell us their situation, and what they think they need in terms of our resources. Our 24/7 on call staff are put into action to draw down existing levels in pump stations to allow for slower ramp-up from new rains, or however our customers want us to respond.

The scale and resources of our mobile fleet enable us to meet even rigorous demand response times with the proper equipment. To better support our customers, we frequently respond to emergency requests far exceeding our contractual obligations.
