Vacuum excavation represents a contemporary and less invasive technique for removing soil and displacing soil or debris from the ground by means of a strong vacuum system. It is sometimes referred to as ‘Suction Excavation’. Call us for more information
Where is Vacuum Excavation Used?
It is utilized across different fields including construction, utilities, and more and in various areas such as Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and more. This method is a much safer and much more efficient alternative to conventional excavation techniques which have been used in the past. In the ever-evolving landscape of major construction projects, the selection of equipment and expertise is a key factor influencing the safety and success of every project. For

How does Vacuum or Suction Excavation Work?
Vacuum excavation works by using 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 starts working with a high-pressured air lance to dislodge the soil. As the soil is removed, the hidden utilities are revealed and can be visually examined, 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 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 care, reducing the risk of any damages.
Benefits of Suction or Vacuum Excavation
There are multiple benefits to vacuum excavation.
- Safety – by revealing underground utilities without inflicting damage, vacuum excavation significantly lowers the chance of accidents and utility strikes, ensuring the safety of both the workers and existing infrastructure around the area. Also, its ability to do bespoke digging with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area.
- Operational Efficiency – adhering to tight deadlines on completing a project and reducing costs by promptly uncovering buried utilities and making the excavation process simple. Its sustainability means it creates less noise, disruption, and dust than conventional methods, reducing its ecological footprint.
