Case studies
Six Solutions Case Study
Background The Pantoro Mine Site, located in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields, required full internal coating removal from a 1,100 m² Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) tank. This infrastructure needed remediation of all internal surfaces, including walls, floor, baffles,...
Yarra Trams Case Study
Background Yarra Trams operate Melbourne’s extensive tram network - the largest urban tram system in the world - covering 250 kilometres of double track across 24 routes, with a fleet of almost 500 trams. To keep more than 5,000 services a day running safely and...
InterGroup Case Study
Background The Ohaaki Geothermal Power Station in New Zealand operates cooling towers that accumulate substantial sludge deposits at their base over time. Historically, de-sludging has been attempted only every four to eight years. Until recently, this meant sending...
Pezzimenti Trenchless
As urban expansion continues, the need for efficient and minimally invasive sewer infrastructure projects has never been greater. Traditional excavation methods often lead to significant surface disruption, prolonged project timelines, and increased costs. For complex...
Goldfields Protective Coatings
When a blocked decant pipe brought production to a crawl at a Western Australian mine, Goldfields Protective Coatings (GPC) were called in to assess and resolve the issue. Located in Norseman, a region known for its tough working conditions, the process water pond at...

Cappellotto Equipment Refurbishment
If you operate Cappellotto vacuum & hydro excavation units that are experiencing reduced  suction or jetting performance, reliability issues, or general wear and tear over many years, there’s an alternative to full replacement. Refurbishment, when executed with...
Protection for High-Pressure Water Jetting with TST Pro-Operator PPE
If you're responsible for operations involving high-pressure water, you already know the risks. Water jetting injuries happen fast, often without visible damage at first. But the consequences can be debilitating and life-altering, even fatal. This is the reality for...
Environmental Benefits of Euro 6 Chassis Combined with Cappellotto Design
Industrial operation decisions carry environmental weight, whether you’re managing hydro excavation fleets, coordinating municipal services, or overseeing large-scale vacuum loading assets. As emission regulations are intensifying, clients are demanding cleaner...
KOR Servicing Capabilities
Downtime costs can be high for businesses due to lost hours, disrupted schedules, and potential reputation damage (if downtime is lengthy). The question isn’t whether it happens, it’s how quickly and effectively you recover. For Operations Managers and fleet...
After Sales Support with KOR Connect
Every fleet manager has faced issues, such as a key piece of equipment stops mid-task. Crews wait, deadlines slip, and costs start mounting. Often the highest cost isn’t the fault itself but the slow, fragmented process that follows: misplaced manuals, uncertainty...
Robotic High Pressure Water Jetting Equipment
In industrial cleaning, surface preparation, or concrete demolition, speed and precision matter. Yet for many operations, these come at a cost. Traditional ultra-high pressure (UHP) water jetting puts operators right at the source, battling intense reaction forces,...
How to Choose an Industrial Vacuum Truck
Choosing the right industrial vacuum truck is one of the best ways to boost efficiency across industries like construction, mining, utilities, and waste management. With so many options available, it’s important to understand which features and capabilities align with...
KEG Nozzle Efficiency
How Tier 3 Design Delivers Cleaner Pipes, Lower Costs, and Greater Control Most jetting tools look alike, but not all nozzles deliver the same results. Many standard models lose more energy to internal turbulence than they deliver to the blockage. In contrast, KEG...
Accredited Competency Training Courses
In high-risk operational environments, it’s not just the machinery that determines performance, it’s the competence of the people using it. Skilled operators are essential to safety, efficiency and compliance. Yet many organisations still rely on informal or outdated...
Sewer Cleaning and the End of Blown Toilets
For water authority asset maintenance teams and civil contractors, few operational failures generate more frustration than a blown toilet. It’s not just about the mess, it’s the disruption and the complaints that follow. And the most confounding part? These incidents...
Applications of Hydro and Vacuum Excavation Trucks
Outdated cleaning and excavation methods slow projects down, introduce safety risks, and damage infrastructure. Hydro excavation and vacuum excavation offer modern solutions that are safer, faster, and more precise. These advanced technologies keep downtime low,...
The Future of Industrial Cleaning and Excavation
Industrial cleaning and excavation are becoming safer, smarter, and more efficient thanks to innovative technologies. With tailored solutions and automation reducing risks for workers, companies are rewriting the rules of what’s possible in the industrial sector. In...
Pathogen Defence System on Wastewater Management Trucks
Given that wastewater is increasingly being used by epidemiologists to monitor pathogen recovery and concentration, it’s clear that effective wastewater management is an important part of public health. That’s where KOR’s Vanguard Pathogen Defence System comes in....
Improving Safety & Productivity in Ultra High-Pressure & High-Pressure Water Blasting
Ultra high-pressure water jetting is common in the industrial cleaning and concrete demolition industry. Ranging from surface preparation, scabbling or concrete demolition. Despite its effectiveness, ultra high-pressure water jetting presents challenges such as...
Vacuum, Drain Cleaning & Hydro Excavation Truck Leasing
For civil construction and mining or utilities businesses, new or bigger contracts often require additional, specialised equipment. Buying heavy machinery is a major financial burden and a long-term commitment that many businesses simply can't afford. Leasing is a...
