What is Vacuum Excavation?
Vacuum excavation is a cutting-edge and non-intrusive method for removing soil and extracting earth or other substances 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 used in various industries including construction, utilities, and more and in various areas such as Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and more. This method is a much safer and much more efficient alternative to traditional digging methods 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
services.
How does Vacuum or Suction Excavation Work?
Vacuum excavation operates through 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 starts working with a high-pressured air lance to dislodge the soil. As the soil is removed, the underground utilities are gradually exposed and can be inspected visually, 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 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 numerous advantages to vacuum excavation.
- Enhanced Safety – by revealing underground utilities without inflicting damage, vacuum excavation significantly minimizes the risk of incidents and utility strikes, ensuring the safety of both the workers and existing infrastructure around the area. Also, its capacity for customized digging with minimal area disruption.
- 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, reducing its ecological footprint.
