Diggings have many uses in construction
projects. In the past, there have been stories of diggings gone wrong due to
the damage caused to underground utilities. Imagine drilling through power
lines causing loss of electricity or even burst water pipes causing serious
flooding in the area. Other underground utilities that can be damaged through
conventional drilling are gas pipes, telecommunication lines and sewage lines.
Not only will damage to these wires and pipes cost a lot of money but delays
and inconveniences are to be dealt with as well. This is something you do not
want to happen while a digging in your property. The answer to this is non destructive digging.
You may be sceptical if you do not really know about this. Below you will find
more information and the benefits that you can get from this.
Non destructive digging which is also known
as hydro excavation or vacuum excavation. This is a process of digging wherein
high pressure water is used to loosen up the soil. The loose soil, together
with excess water and other debris are then vacuumed out and directed into
holding tanks using specially designed nozzles. Unlike mechanical digging which
uses machines and heavy equipment to create holes, the use of water is a
gentler and less risky alternative.
The use of non destructive digging benefits everyone who is
involved in the project. Worries of causing damage and costs for repairs is
very minimal therefore giving everyone peace of mind. Sticking the budget is a
top priority in most projects these days so costs that are kept to a minimum
are always a big help. The equipment and the process used lessens the harmful
the effects on the environment and even tree root systems underground can be
left unharmed.
The whole process also does not take as
much time because even clean-up is a breeze since most of the debris are
vacuumed out simultaneously as the digging is done. If the digging project is
done in a roadside area or pedestrian walkways, this will not cause much
disruption to traffic flow. Less people working with less equipment which are
not too big will not be a problem to daily activity in the area. Overall, non destructive digging is cost efficient, safe and gentler on the environment.
If non destructive digging is something you want to
try for your next project, it would be best to check the companies that can do
this for you. You can go online to take a look at company websites. These sites
will be detailed to give you a better idea of how it really works. They have
contact details that you can use to get in touch with them for any queries or
questions. You just have to keep in mind that the company you work with is one
that is reputable. Try to check the projects they have done in the past so you
will know if they do a good job. This is to make sure that what you pay them
for is worth it.
