How does Vacuum or Suction Excavation Work?
Vacuum excavation works by using a truck-mounted system 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 underground utilities are gradually exposed and can be inspected visually, 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 removal or subsequent reuse.
The excavated area is left orderly and clean, set for further inspection or setup. This method permits our team to carry out excavation close to underground utilities, and other sensitive areas with care, reducing the risk of any damages.
Why Choose Vacuum Excavation
There are numerous advantages to vacuum excavation.
- 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 potential for tailored digging with little disturbance to the area.
- 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 is producing minimal noise, disruption and dust compared to traditional excavation methods, reducing its ecological footprint.
Why should you use Vacuum Excavation Specialists?
Vacuum excavation greatly improves traditional digging techniques and marks a significant progression. It’s safer, more exact, and more eco-friendly compared to conventional techniques.
