Vacuum digging is a cutting-edge and non-intrusive technique for removing soil and removing soil or other materials from the ground with the help of a powerful suction. It can also be known and referred to as ‘Suction Excavation’. Call us for more information
Industries Utilizing Vacuum Excavation
It is employed in multiple sectors including construction and utilities and in various areas such as Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and many more. This method offers a safer and more effective 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 factor influencing the safety and success of every project. For
services.
The Process of Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum excavation works by using a system mounted on a truck 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 begins operating by utilizing 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 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 caution, minimizing the risk of damages.
Benefits of Suction or Vacuum Excavation
There are multiple benefits to vacuum excavation.
- Enhanced Safety – by exposing underground utilities without causing any damage, vacuum excavation significantly minimizes the risk of incidents and utility strikes, ensuring the security of the workforce and the surrounding infrastructure. Also, its capacity for customized digging with minimal area disruption.
- Operational Efficiency – meeting tight project deadlines, cutting costs by rapidly exposing buried utilities, and simplifying the digging process. Its eco-friendliness means it is producing minimal noise, disruption and dust compared to traditional excavation methods, decreasing its ecological footprint.
