Why Do You Need A Vacuum Excavator?
Vacuum excavation holds considerable benefits over traditional forms of excavation. It is safer to excavate using vacuum power, as it reduces the risk of cable strikes. Cable strikes are notoriously dangerous and pose a real threat to your workforce, especially when working in areas where utility plans are not reliable. Not only does the vacuum method of excavation reduce this danger, but it also improves the general working conditions on-site. During traditional excavation large quantities of dust and debris are thrown into the air, which reduces air quality and can affect the health of your workforce. Using vacuum excavation significantly reduces this, by drawing the dust inside the belly of the excavator during the excavation process. Vacuum excavation also allows for extensive excavation without causing as much damage to the local environment. The delicate nature of the vacuum allows it to remove earth from around tree roots, without destroying the root structure, this enables trees to be moved around a site, which is often a requirement of planning. Vacuum excavation can also work under the topsoil without needing to break open large swathes of local flora and fauna. This allows development to take place without damaging local ecosystems. Vacuum excavation is also quicker, and consequently more economical, and is almost always the best solution for your excavation.
How Does Vacuum Excavation Work?
Vacuum excavation works by harnessing the power of suction. A long hose is used to work to loosen and then draw the earth, or other material, inside the belly of the excavator. Once the belly is full the excavator truck can then empty the earth elsewhere, where it can be reused. Suction excavators can be used to clear earth, debris, water, or other materials making them exceptionally versatile.
