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 identifying the excavation site, and after marking it the vacuum excavation equipment starts working with a high-pressured air lance to loosen the soil. As the soil is removed, the buried utilities become visible and can be checked 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 disposal or potential reuse.
The excavated area is left orderly and clean, set for further inspection or setup. This method permits our team to carry out excavation close to underground utilities, and other sensitive areas with precision, lessening the likelihood of any harm.
Advantages of Vacuum Excavation
There are multiple benefits to vacuum excavation.
- Enhanced Safety – by revealing underground utilities without inflicting damage, vacuum excavation significantly reduces the risk of accidents and utility strikes, ensuring the safety of workers and the existing infrastructure in the vicinity. Also, its potential for tailored digging with little disturbance to the area.
- Increased 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 generates minimal noise, disruption, and dust relative to older techniques, lowering its environmental impact.
