Vacuum excavation is the process of using high air flow to loosen and remove soil. The process reduces the potential damage to the underground infrastructure while maintaining a productive rate of excavation where utilities may be buried. Using a vacuum excavator with high speed flow as your tool gives you several key advantages.
Vacuum Excavation is a productive non-destructive excavation mean that can reduce your risk of damage to lines and utilities. Vacuum Excavation occurs when pressurized air breaks up and cuts the soil while a high-flow vacuum system lifts the soil up and out of the excavation area. Buried natural gas, petroleum pipelines, and water mains can be quickly and efficiently uncovered with greatly reduced risk of strike.
Fiber optic lines, cables, and other utilities can be efficiently located without the damage that can happen with traditional mechanical digging. Operators can dig with precision, establishing a less invasive method for slot trenching, potholing, and pipe location.
This manner of excavation causes less surface damage, reduces disruption of traffic and other surface activities and can be easier and less expensive to repair. Non-destructive vacuum excavation is quickly gaining acceptance by cities, utilities, and contractors as a relatively safe, effective alternative to traditional excavation methods in a wide range of applications such as:
- Line location
- Installation and repair for utilities and pipelines
- Sewer and pipe
- Rehabilitation
- Slot Trenching
- Waterline maintenance and repair
- Directional digging
- Excavation in congested areas
- Sign and pole installation
- Landscaping excavation
- Precision digging
