Suction excavation represents a contemporary and non-intrusive method used for excavation and extracting earth or other substances from the ground by means of a strong vacuum system. It can also be known and referred to as ‘Suction Excavation’. Call us for more information
Applications of Vacuum Excavation
It is utilized across different fields including the construction and utilities sectors and in several industries including Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and more. This method offers a safer and more effective alternative to traditional digging methods which have been used in the past. In the fast-paced 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
services.
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 pinpointing the excavation location, then marking the area the vacuum excavation equipment starts working with a high-pressured air lance to break up 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 clean and clear, ready for further inspection or installation. This method permits our team to carry out excavation close to underground utilities, and other sensitive areas with caution, minimizing the risk of damages.
Why Choose Vacuum Excavation
There are multiple benefits to vacuum excavation.
- 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 potential for tailored digging with little disturbance to the area.
- Increased 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, decreasing its ecological footprint.
