How does Vacuum or Suction Excavation Work?
Vacuum excavation is conducted using a truck-mounted system which includes a vacuum pump, debris tank, and several hoses. The process begins by pinpointing the excavation location, then marking the area 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 allows our operators to conduct excavation work near buried utilities, and other sensitive areas with precision, lessening the likelihood of any harm.
Why Choose Vacuum Excavation
There are numerous advantages to vacuum excavation.
- Enhanced Safety – by revealing underground utilities without inflicting damage, 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 environmental friendliness means it generates minimal noise, disruption, and dust relative to older techniques, decreasing its ecological footprint.
