Vacuum excavation is a cutting-edge and minimally invasive technique used for digging and displacing soil or debris from the ground with the help of a powerful suction. It can also be known and 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 various areas such as Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and others. This method provides a safer and more efficient alternative to conventional excavation techniques 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 decision that impacts the safety and success of every project. For
How does Vacuum or Suction Excavation Work?
Vacuum excavation operates through a vehicle-mounted setup which includes a vacuum pump, debris tank, and several hoses. The process begins by pinpointing the excavation location, then marking the area 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 hidden utilities are revealed and can be visually examined, the loosened soil and debris are then vacuumed up through a big hose into a skip which is mounted on to the Vac-Ex machine for disposal or potential reuse.
The excavated area is left orderly and clean, set for further inspection or setup. This method allows our operators to conduct excavation work near buried utilities, and other sensitive areas with care, reducing the risk of any damages.
Why Choose Vacuum Excavation
There are multiple Benefits to vacuum excavation.
- Enhanced Safety – by uncovering buried utilities without any harm, vacuum excavation significantly reduces the risk 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.
- Operational Efficiency – adhering to tight deadlines on completing a project and reducing costs by promptly uncovering buried utilities and making the excavation process simple. Its environmental friendliness means it generates minimal noise, disruption, and dust relative to older techniques, reducing its ecological footprint.
