Vacuum Excavation- For a Non-destructive Method of Excavation

Posted by Ron William on February 20th, 2018

Excavation can be a bit troublesome when the lumps of solid wastes are disposed and generated during the excavation process. The moving of the solid wastes can become a tough task to be removed after the excavation is over. But with the help of the vacuum trucks, the project of excavation gets easy. The lumps of the soils and the heaps of sewage materials with different density can easily be removed with the help of the vacuum excavators.

This dry vacuum cleaning also termed as the non-destructive digging process makes the digging smooth, clean and tidy. It takes a safe pair of hands with expertise and knowledgeinto account to get the underground excavation safe and easy to do.

Working Principle:

The process of vacuum excavation in Wollongong uses the high efficient vacuum excavators for the suction excavation. The debris, soil and other excavated materials are removed from different locations on the ground with the help of vacuum hose pipes.

The process uses either high-pressure water or compressed air for the suction. The vacuum excavators are capable enough to lift stones, mud, pebbles, water or sand that is collected after the excavation of the soil.

Advantages over the Conventional Method of Excavation:

Mr Lucas has been on the seat of the excavator for the last several decades. He has faced setbacks during his entire excavation. In one of his excavation projects that lacked information on the underneath hidden assets led to the destruction. The heavy machinery then used had bigger and sharper tools that could cut or shake pipes. Not only did the project stall but the recurring expenditure that the contractor had to bear.

1. Safer Excavation:

The modern excavators ensure that the excavation is safe. The vacuum excavation prevents over digging and s a result of this the sewer pipes, gas pipelines and the water pipes remain safe and sound

Apart from this, the electrical lines, cables stay safe with the vacuum excavation.

2. Easy Cleaning of the Area:

With the vacuum suction, there would be no traces of any soil or any other excavated materials. The place of work is cleaned thoroughly. Apart from this, the excavated soil can again be used to refill the site.

3. Cost Efficient:

The use of the vacuum excavator is very cost effective. Air is present everywhere around us and is readily available. This makes the vacuum excavation a cost efficient one.

Also, unlike conventional excavation methods that made use of the excessive labours and machinery either to keep the debris away from the working spot, the vacuum excavation can be carried out in a single vehicle.

4. Time-Saving:

Since the entire excavation has turned mechanical, the work has been made easy and fast. Also, the time that was consumed in moving the debris is now lessened because the vehicles have the tank where the entire trash is kept and later used.

5. Compact in Size:

The advancement in the technology has made the vacuum excavators compact. This has helped the excavation process even in smaller and confined places easy and quick.
