How does Vacuum or Suction Excavation Work?
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 vacuumed up through a big hose into a skip which is mounted on to the Vac-Ex machine for disposal or later reuse.
The excavated area is left clean and clear, ready for further inspection or installation. This method permits our team to carry out excavation close to underground utilities, and other sensitive areas with caution, minimizing the risk of damages.
Benefits of Suction or Vacuum Excavation
There are several benefits to vacuum excavation.
- Safety – by uncovering buried utilities without any harm, vacuum excavation significantly lowers the chance of accidents 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 – sticking to strict deadlines, reducing costs by quickly revealing buried utilities and streamlining the excavation process. Its eco-friendliness means it creates less noise, disruption, and dust than conventional methods, reducing its ecological footprint.
