Typically, non-destructive digging or any digging for that matter is most common a process that is used in the construction business. Whether it be for construction of a new house, a renovation, installation and the like. It is also commonly used in installations of lamp posts and other items that need to be buried.
Non-destructive digging which is also known as NDD is a safer and less risky alterative to mechanical or manual digging. The reason for this is instead of using the typical heavy equipment and machines like backhoes, trenchers and diggers and even hand held tools like shovels, this uses either water or air as the tool to dig the hole. Instead, it uses either high pressure jets of air or water that are powerful enough to break the ground and loosen the soil materials. At the same time, the non-destructive digging process also simultaneously vacuums out the soil materials and debris to make it easy for storage and disposal. There are two choices that one can choose from, these are air vacuum excavation and hydro excavation.
Because of the special advantages of this process, there are many other things where this can be used. For example, non-destructive digging can be used in archeological excavations and diggings. It can be used because it is easier to control and can be used in sensitive areas. Even if it gets in contact with important and sensitive artifacts, it will not do any damage. It can also be used for tree planting by preparing the holes where the plants will be placed.
For sensitive areas like refineries and electrical plants, it can be used because it will not cause a spark. It is also applicable for flammable areas. It is also very useful for roadside projects because the on-going project can be done without disrupting the flow of traffic. Sensitive areas like those with ecosystems that need to be protected. It can be used off site if needed because the nozzles can be extended. When there is a digging project where trees should be protected, non-destructive digging
can be used as well as it will protect tree roots and not cut them.
Non-destructive digging is not only applicable to typical digging needs but also for special uses. It can have advantages that people can benefit from. It is safer than mechanical digging that may have disastrous results especially when sensitive buried assets and utilities are touched. Damage to pipes, lines, cables can cause flooding, loss of service like power, internet and even gas explosions.
