The Process of Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum excavation is conducted using a vehicle-mounted setup which includes a vacuum pump, debris tank, and several hoses. The process begins by identifying the excavation site, and after marking it the vacuum excavation equipment begins operating by utilizing 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 disposal or later reuse.
The excavated area is left orderly and clean, set for further inspection or setup. This method enables operators to perform digging near hidden utilities, and other sensitive areas with caution, minimizing the risk of damages.
Advantages of Vacuum Excavation
There are several Benefits to vacuum excavation.
- Safety – by exposing underground utilities without causing any 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 ability to do bespoke digging with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area.
- Operational Efficiency – sticking to strict deadlines, reducing costs by quickly revealing buried utilities and streamlining the excavation process. Its environmental friendliness means it generates minimal noise, disruption, and dust relative to older techniques, reducing its ecological footprint.
