- How Vacuum Excavation works
- Why Choose Abaxa?
Vacuum excavation is your safe, non-destructive damage prevention option when excavating in and around utilities.
While traditional mechanical methods of excavation have the potential to damage utilities and disrupt essential services, vacuum excavation is a decidedly non-destructive soil and debris removal method.
How Vacuum Excavation works
Vacuum excavation works by extracting earth through a small ‘surgical’ opening through which the excavation takes place.
A high-powered vacuum insertion is made to remove dirt into the vehicle’s storage tank. The underground utilities are safely exposed with no damage to the structure or coatings of associated pipes and cables.
Strongly reduces strike risk
This safe, non-destructive method means damage to utilities is prevented, saving inestimable costs associated with service damage, including project delays, rework, repairs, personal injury, and public compensation, not to mention inconvenience.
A clear safety-first solution
Vacuum excavation immediately eliminates any need to hand dig or probe. As a result, safety is maximised and any potential for personal injury or death resulting from utility damage is radically reduced.
The use of vacuum excavation all but eliminates the risk of damage to any surrounding structures and is a naturally proactive solution for your project to meet safety requirements.
