Vacuum excavation is the best choice for moving earth for any project. Whether you are clearing a city centre site for a regeneration project, or need to move trees around your new build housing site, as part of the planning regulations, vacuum excavation will be the ideal solution. Vacuum excavation is quicker, safer, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly than manual excavation.
About Us
Here at PIER UK, we began life as a civil engineering company. This base of understanding gives us knowledge and experience that we bring to every vacuum excavation project. After first using vacuum excavation on one of our projects, we were so impressed by the capabilities and benefits that we began to focus our business exclusively on delivering high-quality vacuum excavation services across the UK. By investing heavily in our range of vacuum excavators, we have an extensive fleet of different types of suction excavators. Whether you need a City Sucker, for a site with restricted space and access, or our largest vacuum excavator, the RSP ESE 6 we will have the ideal vacuum excavator for your site.
Benefits of Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum excavation has many benefits, it is cheaper, safer, quicker, and better for the environment than manual digging. Due to the suction power of a vacuum excavator, it can clear the earth far quicker than by using traditional excavation methods. This makes it not only quicker but also cheaper. One of the main risks during groundwork excavation is cable strikes. Cable strikes can be dangerous, and extremely expensive to a project, and using vacuum excavation massively reduces risk on your site. The gentle power of suction means that using vacuum excavation is far less disruptive than digging. A vacuum excavator can suck the soil from around tree roots without damaging the structure, it can clear earth underneath the topsoil, without needing to destroy large sections. As the vacuum excavator sucks earth into itself, it also contains dust and debris. This helps keep the site cleaner and prevents contaminating local waterways.
How Does it Work?
Vacuum excavation is a simple process. The suction excavator uses a long suction hose to clear the earth or other materials. This is then sucked inside the excavator, from where it can be safely deposited in the most suitable place. Vacuum excavation units vary in size and capacity, the larger ones can hold 12m3 before needing to be emptied. When you work with us, we will assess your project and choose the best vacuum excavation unit for your site.
