Worked with Sureclean about 12-13 years ago using that kit to internally clean powerstation out falls. All we did was put the rattler in the mouth of the pipe and it worked its way up the pipe. Different heads to do different jobs, ie, a rotating head to clean the circumference, retro jets to drag the muck to the mouth of the pipe. All we did was flatten the piles outside the mouth with a firehose. Probably too expensive to get Sureclean to where you are, but there's loads of companies that do the same stuff. Think companies who inspect drains with CCTV etc- they'll usually have a few nozzles and a pump to clear stuff. All it really is, is HP water, a powered hose reel that can pull the hose back, with full retro on, and the hose and nozzles.

call a vac truck, most places will have regulations on just pumping pipe muck into an outfall. Be careful as it is usually a 5000 dollar fine doing so. A vac truck can do this job in two or three hours.
