Solid Waste Disposal

For the collection of solid waste materials we can provide open or closed containers to meet the customer requirements. Depending on the density of the waste we can provide containers with a capacity ranging from 1.6 m³ - 40 m³.

The collected refuse is transported to the Municipality Landfill for disposal in strict compliance with the rules and regulations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by the
following special designed trucks:

a. Compactor Truck

These trucks with hydraulic lifting system and loading capacity from 15 m³ to 26 m³ are used for collection and disposal of compactable waste from 1.6 or 5.0 m³
(commonly know as 1600 and 5000 liter) roll-containers. The containers are emptied on location and refuse collected in the hopper of the truck. Once the truck is full it will proceed to the dumping area.

The empting of the 1.6 and 5.0 m³ roll-containers are carried out on a scheduled basis as per customer requirements. This service is rendered mainly to: Offices, Hotels, Restaurants, Supermarkets, Camps/Compounds, Warehouses, Stores or any other location where compactable waste is generated.
 
b. Container Truck
For non-compactable trash, such as wood, steel, concrete,  etc. open containers ranging from 5 m³ to 12 m³  can be provided. The size of the container provided to
the customer depends on the type of waste and density, or the available area to place the container at the site.

These containers (skips) are collected from the site by the container truck and transported to the dumping area where the container is emptied. The container is returned to the customer as per his request. In most occasions the container is replaced by an empty container upon arrival of the truck, in order to reduce travel time.The 5 m³, 8 m³ and 12 m³ containers (skips) are commonly used at: Construction sits, Workshops, Refinery and Petrochemical Plants, Factories, etc.
 
c. Hook Truck
For bulk non-compactable trash with a low density, such as wood, paper, plastic, fiberglass,
etc. open containers ranging from 20 m³ to 40 m³ can be provided. The size of the container provided to the customer depends on the type of waste and density, or the available area to place the container at the site.
These containers (skips) are collected from the site by the hook truck and transported to the dumping area where the container is emptied. The container is returned to the customer as per his request. Due to the large quantity of waste transported the number of trips or frequency of emptying can be reduced.

The 20 m³, 30 m³ & 40 m³ containers are commonly used at: Warehouses, Refinery and Petrochemical Plants, Factories, etc.Special modified containers are available or custom made on costumer requests, such as: Oil Storage Containers, Site Offices, Tool Containers, Septic Tanks, etc.
Liquid Waste Disposal
Sanitary waste water is collected by vacuum trucks and/or tank trailers and transported to the Municipality Sewage Treatment facilities where it is been discharged from the tank.

 a. Vacuum Trucks

The vacuum trucks are equipped with 3000 US gallon vacuum tank and vacuum pump with a capacity of 900 m³/hour (air-flow) to remove sanitary waste water from septic tanks, lifting stations, etc. Furthermore, most of our vacuum truck(s) are fitted with a jetting pump in order to clean septic tanks and sewer lines of up to 6" in diameter.
 

b. Tank Trailer

For removal of sanitary waste water or ground water in large quantities, tank trailers with a capacity of 8000 US gallon can be utilized to reduce Customer's overall cost.
c. Portable Toilet Services
The portable toilets made from fiberglass with holding tank are cleaned by our vacuum trucks and the internal surface sprayed with a disinfectant. These portable toilets are supplied in any number to construction sites or during shutdowns at Refinery & Petrochemical sites in order to provide sanitary service for the manpower on-site.
 
 
 
Sewer Line Cleaning
a. Jetting Van
The jetting van is ideal to work within the city limited and is mainly used for unplugging the house connections to the main sewer line or to septic tanks. The van is very mobile and is equipped with a powerful jetting pump and small water tank. Sewer lines with diameter ranging from 2" to 8" can be cleaned and/or unplugged successfully.
b. Jetting Truck
The jetting truck is utilized for cleaning sewer lines with large diameters (from 8" to 32"), mainly main sewer lines in compounds, cities, and Refinery & Petrochemical plants. When cleaning the main sewer lines in-coming water (flow) can be stopped by the use of inflatable plugs, and a by-pass made.

The jetting truck equipped with a jetting pump (1750 psi; 300 lpm) is equipped with a hydraulically driven hose reel to pull-back the 1" jetting hose with a length of 100 meter. A large water tank is truck mounted.
Road Sweeper Services
For cleaning roads, parking areas, storage areas, etc. we can provide our road sweeper. The truck is equipped with a vacuum blower, brooms, and rollers to remove the sand and debris from the surface. To minimize dust a sprinkler system is fitted.The hopper (approx. 10 m³) is equipped with tail gate and can be tipped for easy dumping at the designated disposal area.
 Hazardous Waste Disposal
Hazardous waste, mainly oily waste water, oil, oil sludge, acid, paint residues, solvents, jell, sanitary sludge is collected by our ind'l vacuum trucks or in sealed drums by our flatbed trailer and transported to the approved dumping facilities in accordance with the MEPA regulations, in the following activities:
a. Laboratory Testing
Prior to collection of the waste (if no MSDS sheet available) a sample is taken and forwarded to a Laboratory for analysis in order to characterize the waste and to prepare for the correct disposal and treatment procedures.
b. Collection of the Waste
The hazardous waste is collected from the client (generator) and both Service Order and Waste Manifest filled out and signed by the generator confirming that the waste was collected by Al Fahhad Zegwaard Co.
c. Transportation and Disposal
The hazardous waste is transported in bulk by ind'l vacuum truck or in sealed drums by flatbed trailer to the designated disposal area. Upon arrival at the dumping facility the waste is checked and Waste Manifest form completed, in order to confirm that the total quantity and type of waste was safely received.

During the transportation and handling of the hazardous waste Al Fahhad Zegwaard Co. takes full responsibility and an Emergency Response Plan is in place in case of an accident or spill.

Placards "Corrosive", "Flammable" or "Poison" are used and clearly posted on the equipment (such as vacuum truck, vacuum trailer, etc.) at the rear and left side to quickly
