Vacuum excavation is a cutting-edge and less invasive technique used for excavation and removing soil or other materials from the ground with the help of a powerful suction. It is also known as as ‘Suction Excavation’. Call us for more information
Industries Utilizing Vacuum Excavation
It is employed in multiple sectors including construction, utilities, and more and in several industries including Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and more. This method is a much safer and much more efficient alternative to older digging methods which have been used in the past. In the ever-evolving landscape of major construction projects, the decision of machinery and knowledge is a key choice affecting the safety and outcomes of every project. For
services.
The Process of Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum excavation operates through 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 break up the soil. As the soil is removed, the buried utilities become visible and can be checked visually, the loosened soil and debris are then sucked up through a large hose into a skip which is mounted on to the Vac-Ex machine for disposal or potential reuse.
The excavated area is left neat and tidy, prepared for further examination 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.
Benefits of Suction or Vacuum Excavation
There are multiple benefits to vacuum excavation.
- Safety Benefits – 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 potential for tailored digging with little disturbance to the area.
- Increased 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.
