Vacuum excavation, also known as suction excavation, is an excellent choice for a wide array of different projects in and around the Aberdeen area. Using the vacuum method is less disruptive, more ecologically friendly, safer, and more cost-effective. With this in mind, it is not hard to see why many other companies around Aberdeen choose to use the vacuum method of excavation.
About Us
PIER UK was founded as a civil engineering company in 2001, after providing vacuum excavation services to our customers in 2009, we were so impressed by the capabilities that we began to invest in developing our vacuum fleet. Since 2012, we have concentrated solely on vacuum excavation, becoming market leaders, due to our high level of skill and success in this field. We have continued to invest in our fleet and our people, and are members of many highly respected trade bodies and organisations.
Why Do You Need an Excavator?
Excavators are used anywhere where you need to clear earth, soil, or debris. Commonly used on building sites to clear large areas of soil ready for laying foundations, good quality excavation is crucial to start your project off on solid footings. An excavator can also be used in a variety of other scenarios, such as clearing collapsed drains, safely extracting earth from around utility cables, working in restricted areas, and environmentally sensitive areas such as around tree roots. Not only do you need a vacuum excavator vehicle, but you need to work with a professional, experienced and reliable company such as ourselves to ensure that your Aberdeen project is carried out on time, and within budget.
How Does Vacuum Excavation Work?
When you work with us, we will always be clear and transparent about pricing. We quote each project on an independent basis so that we can give each client a tailored quote for their exact requirements. We always endeavour to work with the complexities of your schedule, whether you are project managing a large development site, or need urgent clearance work carried out.

How PIER (UK) Can Help With Your Vacuum Excavation Projects?
We can work with you on your project in and around Aberdeen or beyond. No matter the size or scale, our experienced team will be on hand to ensure that your excavation is carried out professionally and seamlessly. Using a vacuum excavator vehicle will ensure that the excavation on your site is environmentally friendly, and safer due to the reduced risk of cable strikes, and often is far more cost-effective than the more traditional forms of excavation. When you come to PIER, we will work with you to deliver first-class excavation on your project. We have invested heavily in our equipment, and this means that we have a good range of different sizes and types of excavators for various projects. If you are working in a built-up area of Aberdeen with restricted access and a high volume of underground cabling, then our City Sucker will be the best fit for you. This is designed for smaller areas or sites with restricted access and available working space. If you are working on a remote site with inaccessible land, we have a tracked excavator. This allows us to reach areas where a normal vehicle would find it impossible to reach, and can be an invaluable piece of equipment. For larger sites where you need a large-capacity vehicle, we have our RSP ESE 6 which is the best choice for clearing large sites, with its capacity of 12 cubic metres. When you initially discuss your project with us, we will spend time understanding your requirements and the scope of your project. We always quote each project on an individual basis and will choose the best vac for your needs, helping to keep the cost fair and affordable.
