Understanding Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum excavation is a cutting-edge and non-intrusive method used for digging and removing soil or other materials from the ground by means of a strong vacuum system. It is also known as as ‘Suction Excavation’. Call us for more information
Industries Utilizing Vacuum Excavation
It is employed in multiple sectors including the construction and utilities sectors and in several industries including Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and many more. This method provides a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional digging methods which have been used in the past. In the ever-evolving landscape of major construction projects, the choice of tools and skills is a key choice affecting the safety and outcomes of every project. For
The Process of Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum excavation works by using a system mounted on a truck 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 dislodge the soil. As the soil is removed, the hidden utilities are revealed and can be visually examined, the loosened soil and debris are then drawn up via a substantial hose into a skip which is mounted on to the Vac-Ex machine for removal or subsequent reuse.
The excavated area is left clean and clear, ready for further inspection or installation. 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.
Advantages of Vacuum Excavation
There are multiple benefits to vacuum excavation.
- Safety – by revealing underground utilities without inflicting damage, vacuum excavation significantly lowers the chance of accidents and utility strikes, ensuring the safety of workers and the existing infrastructure in the vicinity. Also, its capacity for customized digging with minimal area disruption.
- Increased Efficiency – adhering to tight deadlines on completing a project and reducing costs by promptly uncovering buried utilities and making the excavation process simple. Its eco-friendliness means it generates minimal noise, disruption, and dust relative to older Techniques, decreasing its ecological footprint.
