Vacuum Excavators

Vacuum excavation is a non-destructive digging technique that uses high-pressure air or water to break up soil and debris, which is then safely removed by a powerful vacuum system. It is a precise and controlled method that allows for the precise excavation around underground utilities without causing damage.

Vacuum excavation is particularly useful in situations where underground utilities, such as gas lines, water pipes, or fiber optic cables, are present and need to be located or exposed. It is also beneficial in areas with sensitive or fragile infrastructure where traditional excavation methods may pose a higher risk of damage.

Vacuum excavation offers several advantages over traditional excavation methods. It minimises the risk of damaging underground utilities, reducing the potential for costly repairs and service disruptions. It provides precise excavation with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment, making it suitable for sensitive areas. Additionally, vacuum excavation is faster, more efficient, and requires less manual labor compared to traditional methods.

Operating a vacuum excavator requires proper training and experience to ensure safe and effective operation. If you have the necessary qualifications and experience, you can operate the equipment yourself. See our Info Hub for all equipmenty documentation.
