GSD provides industrial tank cleaning services for mine sites, storage facilities and marine vessels. Scott Collins and the GSD crew bring 17 years of Karratha and Pilbara heavy-industrial experience to every tank cleaning project. From Karratha, we arrange crews and equipment for work across the Pilbara and northern Western Australia.
We plan the cleaning method, tank access and waste handling around your job. Our team can coordinate product removal, internal washing and recovered waste through to the agreed handover.
Tell us about your tank, its contents and your work window.
GSD removes remaining product, sludge and deposits, then cleans the tank to the condition you agree with us before work starts.
You may need a clean-out before an inspection, maintenance work or a change of product. We review what the tank has held, its internal surfaces and access points before selecting the equipment and controls.
GSD supports mining tank cleaning, including ANE tanks. ANE means ammonium nitrate emulsion, a material used in mining blasting products.
Our team reviews the product and residue before planning extraction, washing and waste handling. We coordinate the work with your site team and account for shutdown dates, access and transport requirements.
For storage and process tanks, we review the previous contents and the residue you need to remove. We then agree how clean you need the tank for the next stage.
We select methods to suit the tank’s surfaces, lining and fittings. Share the product details and any cleaning requirements when you request a quote.
GSD provides marine tank cleaning for supply-vessel work, including drilling-fluid, brine, barite and cement tanks.
We plan tank access and product recovery alongside waste transport. Our team can coordinate the work around your vessel’s maintenance or off-hire requirements.
GSD cleaned 25 tanks during a 12-week ANE project. The team used vacuum loading and water blasting to extract deposits, then completed internal cleaning with confined-space controls.
GSD transported 2.1 million litres of liquid during the wider project. We moved it from mine sites to Karratha for treatment and processing. We completed the work without a safety or environmental incident.
For the Nomad Scorpion project, GSD cleaned 18 tanks covering drilling fluids, brine, barite and cement. Our team also transported 100,000 litres of drill mud to Port Hedland and Karratha.
The crew worked day and night shifts with confined-space entry, gas testing and rescue support. GSD completed the project without a safety or environmental incident.
GSD selects the equipment after reviewing the tank, residue and required finish. We combine recovery and washing where the job requires it.
Our crews use industrial vacuum loading for tank sludge removal. We also recover liquids, slurries and compatible dry material.
We consider the material’s properties, hose access and transfer distance when choosing the setup. We also plan where to contain and send the recovered material.
Our operators use high-pressure water blasting to remove deposits and wash internal surfaces.
We choose the pressure, water flow and tooling to suit the tank. Our operators can use tank-cleaning heads through suitable access points. We assess outside-tank options before planning work that requires entry.
GSD reviews access and the tank’s previous contents before planning confined-space work. We assess options for completing the job from outside the tank first.
For work that requires entry, we review the layout, deposits and cleaning requirements to determine whether entry is needed. We coordinate the controls with your site team. These can include:
We agree responsibilities before work starts, including who controls isolation, access and the handover.
GSD plans what happens to the recovered product and cleaning water before starting the job. We review the material and its safety data sheet, which describes product hazards and handling requirements.
Our team coordinates containment, recovery and the agreed treatment or disposal route. We can arrange transport and hazardous waste management where the job requires it.
We agree the records you need for the work. These may include recovered volumes, transport documents and treatment or disposal records. We confirm recovery or reuse options for each waste stream.
We confirm the location, tank size, product history and cleaning outcome. Share photos, drawings and safety data sheets if you have them.
We select the equipment and crew, then coordinate access, site controls, waste handling and timing with your team.
Our crew removes product and residue, completes the agreed cleaning work and manages the recovered material.
We record the completed scope and provide the agreed handover documents. Your site team then manages the next stage.
GSD arranges tank-cleaning support from Karratha for sites in Dampier, Onslow, Port Hedland, Tom Price and Newman. We also support marine work in Broome and projects across northern WA.
For remote jobs, tell us about site entry, equipment access, water supply and planned shutdowns. We use this information to plan the crew, transport and work window.

GSD supports mining, storage and marine tank cleaning. Our crews have cleaned ANE tanks and vessel tanks holding drilling fluids, brine, barite and cement. We review the tank and contents before confirming the scope.
Yes. GSD cleaned 25 tanks on a Tier 1 mining project. We plan new ANE work around the product, tank condition and site requirements.
GSD assesses whether crews can complete the work from outside. We review the layout, deposits and cleaning requirements to determine whether entry is needed.
Yes. GSD can combine vacuum recovery with tank washing. We agree how to contain, transport and manage the recovered material before starting.
Yes. GSD has completed marine tank cleaning in Broome, including the 18-tank Nomad Scorpion project. Tell us the vessel location, tank contents and work window.
We consider tank size, residue, access and crew requirements. We also account for waste volumes, treatment or disposal, travel and shutdown dates when quoting the work.
Send the location, tank capacity, contents and preferred dates. Include access details and the required cleaning outcome. Share photos, drawings and a safety data sheet to help us assess the work.
Tell us where the tank is, what it has held and when you need the work. GSD’s Karratha team will review the scope and discuss the equipment, access and waste handling.
No obligation. Our Karratha team will review your scope and get back to you directly.
