If you require Vacuum Excavation hire in Leicester or the surrounding areas, you have come to the right place. Here at PIER UK, we have over 20 years of experience providing vacuum excavation services to clients across the UK. From the Highlands of Scotland to urban sites such as Leicester and the West Midlands, we have the resources and knowledge to work on projects with different challenges. Vacuum excavation is almost always the best choice for safely, quickly, and cheaply excavating earth and other materials on your site. Whether you are working on a complex site with underground utilities or need to work gently to not disturb local flora and fauna, vacuum excavation Leicester will work for you.
Why Do You Need Vacuum Excavation?
Vacuum excavation uses simple suction power to extract earth and other materials and draw them into the excavator unit. This method is safer, reducing the risk of cable strikes, which can be deadly to the operator and expensive, even ruinous to the project. This is particularly pertinent on site where the utility plan is old or if you need to check if it has been correctly updated. It is also safer for the extended workforce as it prevents dust issues with open digging. This extraction method allows the earth to be gently removed from under the topsoil or around tree roots without damaging the roots of local ecostructures. This can prove vital when working on sites where maintaining existing structures is essential.
Vacuum excavation is also quick. A suction excavator can effortlessly move earth and materials far faster than more conventional excavation methods such as digging; this, in turn, helps to reduce project costs, which can be essential where budgets are tight. Our smallest vacuum excavator is the CitySucker, which has been designed to work in areas where access and space are an issue, allowing this excellent method to be utilised in these locations.
