Suction excavation is a cutting-edge and non-intrusive technique used for digging 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
Applications of Vacuum Excavation
It is used in various industries including construction and utilities and in many sectors including Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and more. This method is a much safer and much more efficient alternative to older digging methods 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

The Process of Vacuum Excavation
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 identifying the excavation site, and after marking it the vacuum excavation equipment begins operating by utilizing a high-pressured air lance to break up the soil. As the soil is removed, the buried utilities become visible and can be checked 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 neat and tidy, prepared for further examination or installation. This method enables operators to perform digging near hidden utilities, and other sensitive areas with caution, minimizing the risk of damages.
Advantages of Vacuum Excavation
There are several benefits to vacuum excavation.
- Safety Benefits – by uncovering buried utilities without any harm, vacuum excavation significantly reduces the risk of accidents and utility strikes, ensuring the safety of both the workers and existing infrastructure around the area. Also, its potential for tailored digging with little disturbance to the area.
- Operational 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.
