With our background in civil engineering, we have a deep understanding of groundworks and can provide excellent vacuum excavation services for you.

About Us
PIER began as a civil engineering company, which gives us a long-standing understanding of the complexities and challenges faced. After first using vacuum excavation in 2009, we were so impressed by the capabilities of vacuum excavation that we began to focus our business solely on providing first-class vacuum excavation services to clients across the country. Over the years we concentrated on investing in our resources so that today we have an extensive fleet of vacuum excavators and vacuum equipment. We also invested in our people, so that we can offer operated vacuum services to our clients. We bring to every project our knowledge, enthusiasm and dedication.
Why Do You Need An Excavator For Your Projects?
Vacuum excavation has a myriad of benefits over traditional excavation. Firstly, vacuum excavation massively reduces the risk of cable strikes. Cable strikes are commonly known to be a risk during groundworks. Incorrect utility plans, or lack of clear plans, can lead to cable strikes during traditional excavation. Cable strikes can be dangerous and even deadly. Not only this but they are extremely disruptive and expensive to a project. Due to how vacuum excavation works, by simply sucking the earth away with no contact, vacuum excavation is ideal for working around hidden or unknown utilities. Vacuum excavation is also very efficient, a vacuum excavator can clear the earth far quicker than by using traditional methods. This efficiency makes it an economical choice for your engineering project. A key issue where vacuum excavation is an excellent choice is its environmental impact. Vacuum excavation is gentle, it can remove the earth from around tree roots without damaging them, which allows trees to be moved around a site. It can also clear the earth underground without needing to break through large areas of topsoil. This allows work to be carried out without damaging local flora and fauna.
How Does Vacuum Excavation Work?
Vacuum excavation harnesses the power of suction to draw the earth or other material, such as water, through a long tube into the belly of the excavator. Once the excavator is full then the earth can be discharged, to where it is needed. Vacuum excavators come in different sizes so that they can be used in different locations. Suction is very powerful so it allows the excavator to move large quantities of material in a short time while maintaining safety and environmental integrity.
