Vacuum digging is a modern and minimally invasive method used for digging and removing soil or other materials from the ground with the help of a powerful suction. It is sometimes referred to as ‘Suction Excavation’. Call us for more information
Industries Utilizing Vacuum Excavation
It is used in various industries including construction and utilities and in several industries including Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and others. This method is a much safer and much 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 factor influencing 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 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 later 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 caution, minimizing the risk of damages.
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.
- 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 sustainability means it generates minimal noise, disruption, and dust relative to older techniques, reducing its ecological footprint.
Why should you use Vacuum Excavation Specialists?
