About Pier (UK) Excavation in Manchester
Pier (UK) originally began life in 2001 as a civil engineering and drainage company, and we bring this diverse and established experience to every project that we undertake. In 2009, we started to offer vacuum excavation to our clients. We were instantly struck by the many benefits that vacuum excavation provided over traditional excavation methods. We invested heavily in the equipment, research, and training needed for vacuum excavation, and in 2012 shifted our business focus to solely offering vacuum excavation hire to our customers. We believe that this is the best excavation method to use, and have continued to invest in our equipment, and our team, to ensure that we can offer an excellent range of suction excavators with experienced and trained operatives. We pride ourselves on offering an exemplary standard of professionalism, and as such are members of many industry trade bodies such as Safe Contractor and ETSI. Our team is all trained and qualified to the highest standards, and we ensure that we are fully up-to-date with any changes throughout the industry.
Benefits of Hiring Vacuum Excavators
There are many benefits to hiring a vacuum excavator. Suction excavation is safer, quicker, and cheaper than manual excavation, and it is less harmful to the local environment. A suction excavator works by using the power of the vacuum to draw the earth into the excavator, where it is stored inside the storage tank system. This unique excavation system reduces the risk of cable strikes, which are extremely dangerous to the operator and can have severe financial implications on projects. Vacuum excavation can clear the earth quicker than a manual excavation team, and this impacts the cost of groundwork, with vacuum excavation being a cheaper solution. The nature of the vacuum method of excavation means that it is powerful enough to clear large areas, whilst being delicate enough to gently clear earth from around utilities, or from around protected tree roots. This allows trees to be moved around on site, without damaging them, and for groundwork to be carried out in areas where it is unclear where the utilities are situated. The vacuum technique allows for ground work to take place, without needing to break up large amounts of topsoil, which means that excavation can be carried out without causing damage to the local flora and fauna.
