Suction excavation is a cutting-edge and non-intrusive method used for digging and extracting earth or other substances from the ground with the help of a powerful suction. It is also known as as ‘Suction Excavation’. Call us for more information
Where is Vacuum Excavation Used?
It is utilized across different fields including construction and utilities and in many sectors 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 fast-paced landscape of major construction projects, the choice of tools and skills is a key factor influencing the safety and success of every project. For
The Process of Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum excavation works by using a truck-mounted system which includes a vacuum pump, debris tank, and several hoses. The process begins by locating the area to be excavated, once the site is marked the vacuum excavation equipment starts working with a high-pressured air lance to loosen the soil. As the soil is removed, the hidden utilities are revealed and can be visually examined, 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 removal or subsequent 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 care, reducing the risk of any 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 lowers the chance of accidents 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.
- Efficiency – sticking to strict deadlines, reducing costs by quickly revealing buried utilities and streamlining the excavation process. Its eco-friendliness means it creates less noise, disruption, and dust than conventional methods, reducing its ecological footprint.
