How does Vacuum or Suction Excavation Work?

Vacuum excavation is conducted 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 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 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 clean and clear, ready for further inspection or installation. This method allows our operators to conduct excavation work near buried utilities, and other sensitive areas with caution, minimizing the risk of damages.

Why Choose Vacuum Excavation

There are multiple benefits to vacuum excavation.

  • Safety Benefits – 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.
  • Increased Efficiency – adhering to tight deadlines on completing a project and reducing costs by promptly uncovering buried utilities and making the excavation process simple. Its environmental friendliness means it is producing minimal noise, disruption and dust compared to traditional excavation methods, lowering its environmental impact.

Why should you use Vacuum Excavation Specialists?

Vacuum excavation greatly improves traditional digging techniques and represents a major leap forward. It’s safer, more accurate, and better for the environment than traditional methods. Its versatility, speed, and advantages make it the preferred option for numerous industries.
