What is Vacuum Excavation? What is Vacuum Excavation?
Vacuum digging represents a contemporary and non-intrusive method used for excavation and removing soil or other materials from the ground by means of a strong vacuum system. It is sometimes referred to as ‘Suction Excavation’. Call us for more information
Where is Vacuum Excavation Used?
It is utilized across different fields including the construction and utilities sectors and in many sectors including Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and many more. This method provides a safer and more efficient alternative to conventional excavation techniques which have been used in the past. In the fast-paced landscape of major construction projects, the decision of machinery and knowledge is a key decision that impacts the safety and success of every project. For
How does Vacuum or Suction Excavation Work?
Vacuum excavation works by using a Truck-mounted system which includes a vacuum pump, debris tank, and several hoses. The process begins by locating the area to be excavated, once the site is marked the vacuum excavation equipment swings into action by using a high-pressured air lance to break up the soil. As the soil is removed, the buried utilities become visible and can be checked visually, the loosened soil and debris are then sucked up through a large hose into a skip which is mounted on to the Vac-Ex machine for removal or subsequent reuse.
The excavated area is left orderly and clean, set for further inspection or setup. This method permits our team to carry out excavation close to underground utilities, and other sensitive areas with precision, lessening the likelihood of any harm.
Why Choose Vacuum Excavation
There are multiple benefits to vacuum excavation.
- Safety – by uncovering buried utilities without any harm, vacuum excavation significantly lowers the chance of accidents and utility strikes, ensuring the security of the workforce and the surrounding infrastructure. Also, its capacity for customized digging with minimal area disruption.
- Increased Efficiency – sticking to strict deadlines, reducing costs by quickly revealing buried utilities and streamlining the excavation process. Its eco-friendliness means it creates less noise, disruption, and dust than conventional Methods, decreasing its ecological footprint.
