About PIER (UK)
PIER UK started as a civil engineering company in 2001. In 2009, we began to offer vacuum excavation services to our customers. The benefits of vacuum excavation over more traditional methods of excavation so impressed our senior team, that they began investigating and researching more about this service. In 2012, having invested heavily in machinery, training, and equipment, we moved to exclusively offering vacuum excavation services to our customers. Our customers could also see the incredible benefits of using vacuum excavation over traditional excavation methods and were delighted to be able to use suction excavators on their projects. Through ongoing investment in our business, we have built a substantial fleet of suction excavators, as well as an experienced and professional team of operatives. We have invested in our teams, ensuring that they are all fully trained and accredited, as well as ensuring that they are up-to-date with the latest regulations. We are members of trade bodies, such as Construction line and UK STT, to visibly maintain our high standards and reputation. Our continual investment in both our fleet and our people means that when you work with us, you can always be confident that the work will be carried out to the very highest of standards, no matter the size or scale of the projects.
Benefits of Vacuum Excavation for Your Project
The benefits of vacuum excavation over traditional methods are extensive. Safety is the first main benefit. When you clear ground around cables using traditional methods, the risk of cable strikes is high. Cable strikes are problematic for two main reasons, firstly they are dangerous and potentially deadly and secondly, they can be extremely expensive. Research into the cost of a cable strike varies wildly, but some research quotes costs of up to £100,000, which could be ruinous to your project. Vacuum excavation is also cheaper than manual methods, as a machine can clear ground rapidly, suction excavation costs £44 per cubic metre when compared to manual excavation which costs £75 per cubic metre. Vacuum excavation is also better for the environment and the health of those on-site. Debris from the work isn’t sent into the atmosphere, but rather sucked up inside the vacuum excavator. The clever operating capabilities of the vacuum excavator allows the earth to be cleared from beneath the ground level without needing to dig through large areas of topsoil. This can be extremely important in preserving habits. Vacuum excavation is often used to clear around tree roots, allowing the earth to be gently removed with no damage to the root structure. When you study the benefits of vacuum excavation, it is easy to see why more and more people are choosing vacuum excavation as the best option for their groundwork.
