What is Vacuum Excavation?
Suction excavation represents a contemporary and non-intrusive technique for removing soil 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
Industries Utilizing Vacuum Excavation
It is used in various industries including the construction and utilities sectors and in many sectors including 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 choice affecting the safety and outcomes of every project. For
The Process of Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum excavation is conducted using a system mounted on a truck 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 removal or subsequent reuse.
The excavated area is left neat and tidy, prepared for further examination or installation. This method enables operators to perform digging near hidden utilities, and other sensitive areas with care, reducing the risk of any damages.
Why Choose Vacuum Excavation
There are numerous advantages to vacuum excavation.
- Safety – by uncovering buried utilities without any harm, vacuum excavation significantly minimizes the risk of incidents 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 – sticking to strict deadlines, reducing costs by quickly revealing buried utilities and streamlining the excavation process. Its environmental friendliness means it is producing minimal noise, disruption and dust compared to traditional excavation methods, reducing its ecological footprint.
