Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum Excavation also known as Hydro Excavation or Non-Destructive Digging (NDD).
Vacuum Excavation
Is considered the best and safest industry practice for digging without damaging existing underground utilities or for safe location of underground utilities? Traditional methods of excavation are: using a excavator/backhoe, chain/trencher digger, auger, or digging by hand.
Underground services that have to be protected or are normally fractured via traditional or mechanical excavation methods are:
- Electrical services
- Water services
- Gas services
- Data and telecomcation services
- NBN services
- Fibre optics
- Sewage infrastructure
- Irrigation
Benefits of Vacuum Excavation:
- Safety - Greatly reduces the risk of striking or damaging underground assets, protecting workers and the public.
- Precision - Allows for highly accurate excavations with minimal disturbance to surrounding soil and infrastructure.
- Efficiency - Typically faster than manual digging for small to medium tasks, and causes less site disruption.
- Clean – Vacuum excavation ensures a more refined outcome by removing all debris and leaving a clean hole/trench with no unsightly mounds of dirt or messy construction site aftermath leftovers.
- Damage Prevention - One of the key benefits of vacuum excavation is its superior ability to prevent accidental damage to underground utilities.
