Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of vacuum excavation?

Vacuum excavation, also known as hydro excavation or soft digging, is a non-destructive excavation method that uses high-pressure water and an industrial-strength vacuum to excavate and remove soil, debris, and other materials. The benefits of vacuum excavation include:

 

● Increased safety: Vacuum excavation is a non-destructive excavation method that minimises the risk of damage to underground utilities, reducing the risk of injury to workers, and preventing costly repairs.

● More precise excavation: Vacuum excavation can be used to precisely locate and expose underground utilities, pipes, and other infrastructure without damaging them.

● Faster excavation: Vacuum excavation is a faster excavation method than traditional excavation methods, such as manual digging or mechanical excavation.

● Less disruption: Vacuum excavation is a less disruptive excavation method than traditional excavation methods, reducing the impact on the environment and nearby communities.

● Environmentally friendly: Vacuum excavation uses less water and produces less waste than traditional excavation methods, making it an environmentally friendly excavation option.

 

Overall, vacuum excavation is a safe, precise, fast, and environmentally friendly excavation method that can significantly reduce the risk of damage to underground infrastructure and minimise disruption to the surrounding area.

What are the three main types of excavation?

Excavation techniques can be categorised based on their intended purpose, such as foundation, slope, or underground opening excavation. In a broader context, there are three main types of excavation methods: digging, ripping, and blasting.

What is the most efficient excavation?

Hydro excavation is considered the most efficient type of vacuum excavation due to its speed. It can remove soil from sites faster than traditional excavation and air excavation methods, which reduces the need for additional equipment and labour, and allows contractors to excavate effectively.
