Vacuum Excavations

Vacuum excavation is a non-destructive digging method that uses high-pressure air or water to loosen soil, which is then removed using a vacuum system. This process is commonly used in utility line and pipeline installations, as it helps to minimize the risk of damage to underground infrastructure.

Vacuum excavation is used for a variety of purposes, including:

1. Excavating around underground utilities: To avoid damaging buried pipelines, cables, or other underground infrastructure.

2. Potholing: To create small excavation holes for inspection, maintenance or repair of underground utilities.

3. Trenchless digging: To install new pipelines or utilities without having to dig a large trench.

4. Site investigation: To examine subsurface conditions for geotechnical or environmental purposes.

5. Cleaning and removal of debris: To clean up and remove debris from excavation sites or contaminated soils.

Overall, vacuum excavation is a safe and efficient way to dig and expose underground utilities while minimizing damage to existing infrastructure.
