Vacuum excavation is a cutting-edge and non-intrusive technique used for excavation and extracting earth or other substances from the ground by means of a strong vacuum system. It is also known as as ‘Suction Excavation’. Call us for more information
Where is Vacuum Excavation Used?
It is used in various industries including the construction and utilities sectors and in several industries including Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and more. This method provides a safer and 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 choice affecting the safety and outcomes of every project. For

The Process of Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum excavation operates through 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 swings into action by using a high-pressured air lance to loosen the soil. As the soil is removed, the hidden utilities are revealed and can be visually examined, the loosened soil and debris are then sucked up through a large hose into a skip which is mounted on to the Vac-Ex machine for disposal or later reuse.
The excavated area is left neat and tidy, prepared for further examination or installation. This method permits our team to carry out excavation close to underground utilities, and other sensitive areas with care, reducing the risk of any damages.
Why Choose Vacuum Excavation
There are numerous advantages to vacuum excavation.
- Enhanced Safety – 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 – meeting tight project deadlines, cutting costs by rapidly exposing buried utilities, and simplifying the digging process. Its sustainability means it creates less noise, disruption, and dust than conventional methods, reducing its ecological footprint.
