Suction excavation is a modern and less invasive method used for excavation and displacing soil or debris from the ground by means of a strong vacuum system. It is sometimes referred to as ‘Suction Excavation’. Call us for more information
Applications of Vacuum Excavation
It is utilized across different fields including construction, utilities, and more and in many sectors including Nuclear, Airports, Sub-Stations and many 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 rapid changing landscape of major construction projects, the choice of tools and skills is a key choice affecting the safety and outcomes of every project. For

How does Vacuum or Suction Excavation Work?
Vacuum excavation works by using a truck-mounted system 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 hidden utilities are revealed and can be visually examined, 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 enables operators to perform digging near hidden utilities, and other sensitive areas with precision, lessening the likelihood of any harm.
Why Choose Vacuum Excavation
There are numerous advantages to vacuum excavation.
- Safety – by uncovering buried utilities without any harm, vacuum excavation significantly lowers the chance of accidents and utility strikes, ensuring the safety of both the workers and existing infrastructure around the area. Also, its ability to do bespoke digging with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area.
- Operational Efficiency – sticking to strict deadlines, reducing costs by quickly revealing buried utilities and streamlining the excavation process. Its sustainability means it is producing minimal noise, disruption and dust compared to traditional excavation methods, lowering its environmental impact.
