Vacuum excavation is a cutting-edge and less invasive technique used for excavation and removing soil or other materials from the ground with the help of a powerful suction. It is sometimes referred to as ‘Suction Excavation’. Call us for more information
Industries Utilizing Vacuum Excavation
It is utilized across different fields including Construction and utilities and in several industries including Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and others. This method provides a safer and more efficient alternative to conventional excavation techniques which have been used in the past. In the ever-evolving landscape of major construction projects, the decision of machinery and knowledge is a key decision that impacts 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 pinpointing the excavation location, then marking the area 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 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 allows our operators to conduct excavation work near buried 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.
- Enhanced safety – by exposing underground utilities without causing any 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 capacity for customized digging with minimal area disruption.
- Increased efficiency – sticking to strict deadlines, reducing costs by quickly revealing buried utilities and streamlining the excavation process. Its eco-friendliness means it is producing minimal noise, disruption and dust compared to traditional excavation methods, lowering its environmental impact.
