How Vacuum Excavation Ensures Good Digging Work Results

Vacuum excavation makes way for a non-destructive excavating and trenching process. Civil construction workers need not to be wary of their excavation works anymore or wonder if the area is safe for digging. The use of either air or hydro excavation can do both: To check the area of underground utilities and dig or excavate the area safety without damaging the buried utilities. Vacuum excavation has various applications in the building and construction industry.

Easily Accessible Excavation

In conventional digging methods, you will never fail to notice vehicles like the bulldozers, wheel tractor-scraper, excavators and diggers to excavate the earth and dump trucks to dispose the debris.  With equipment so huge, how can they access to other areas that are inaccessible for huge vehicles?

This is not a problem with vacuum excavation. A vacuum unit is a truck or trailer-mounted vehicle, smaller than a dump truck and has a debris tank with enough storage capacity. The vacuum pump trucks can have a water-powered machine (for hydro excavations) or one that generates highly pressured air (for air excavation).

With a vacuum excavation vehicle not as large as a dump truck or any earth-moving equipment, many areas, including the most pristine environment, can be easily accessible for excavation services.

Precise Work Ahead

Operating huge equipment at construction sites can be very dangerous indeed. Moreover, you cannot ensure an accurate work if you are at the handles while an assistant checks out the excavation. To ensure you are digging a hole with the precise width and depth, two heads are better than one indeed. If you want an accurate work result and no back job, you should consider vacuum excavation.

With vacuum excavation, there is no need to worry about the result of the digging work. You and an assistant can closely monitor the trenching job being done while you adjust the air or water pressure to break down and suction the debris.  This option will allow you to get the desired digging results.

Clean and Neat Work

If you are going to apply conventional excavation, disposing the debris won’t be easy. A dump truck has to be nearby or an area to stock the debris should be prepared beforehand. With an excavator, the area should be off limits at all.

The excavation truck will not be much of a hassle at all because the debris will be sucked up by the suctioning machine to the debris tank. For backfilling, it will not be a problem as the suctioning machine can backfill the excavation.

Safe

Vacuum excavation is safe because air and water cannot damage the utilities. You can even control the air or water pressure as you excavate. You would want to be careful with applying too much water pressure, though. No damages, no hazards but only a safe excavation process.

Applicable For Various Purposes

You can apply vacuum excavation for post holing, tunnelling, cleaning drainage and sewerage lines.

Non destructive excavation gives civil contractors an option to closely monitor their excavating work without making estimates.
