Vacuum Excavation

Suction excavation is a method of removing debris or material from an area. The vacuum excavator creates a high volume of air using the onboard twin or triple fans, this is then used to extract the material which is stored within the container mounted to the rear of the vacuum excavator.

Vacuum excavation is one of the safest and most efficient methods of excavating around buried services. This is due to vacuum excavation being non invasive meaning that likelihood of hitting a live service is significantly reduced.
