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 dislodge the soil. As the soil is removed, the buried utilities become visible and can be checked visually, 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 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 caution, minimizing the risk of damages.
Advantages of Vacuum Excavation
There are numerous advantages to vacuum excavation.
- Enhanced Safety – by uncovering buried utilities without any harm, vacuum excavation significantly minimizes the risk of incidents and utility strikes, ensuring the safety of both the workers and existing infrastructure around the area. Also, its capacity for customized digging with minimal area disruption.
- Efficiency – sticking to strict deadlines, reducing costs by quickly revealing buried utilities and streamlining the excavation process. Its environmental friendliness means it creates less noise, disruption, and dust than conventional methods, lowering its environmental impact.
