Vacuum excavation (also known as suction excavation) is an innovative solution to traditional excavation methods. This technology produces powerful suction driven by high powered fans allowing safe excavation to take place.
Vacuum excavation is considered best practice for safely finding and seeing underground utilities. It reduces by more than half the chance of damaging buried utilities.
Vacuum Excavation also eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming manual labour. Buried pipe systems do not suffer damage and output is up to sixteen times higher than achieved by conventional excavation.
The Benefits of Vacuum Excavation include:
- Eliminating underground utility strikes
- Minimising traffic disruption
- Reducing reinstatement costs
- Less manpower and equipment needed for each job
- Clearing away environmental damage
- Faster completion of excavation works
