Although it is modern technology, vacuum excavation has been used for now. If you are not familiar with this concept yet, vacuum excavation technology is non-destructive, unlike conventional excavation means, therefore a great alternative.
It combines high-pressure water with an air vacuum to dig and remove unwanted soil or debris from a particular area. It can even be used to dig in frozen soil because vacuum excavation Florida trucks are equipped with technology to heat the water.
Excavation and evacuation of the unwanted debris are done efficiently quickly, and many types of risks are eliminated:
- The worksite is cleaner and safer.
- Workers are not so exposed to threats.
- Underground utilities are protected, even when hydro vacs are being used to expose them.
Some of the main uses for vacuum excavating methods include (but are not limited to) exposing underground cables, pipelines, dated railway tracks, etc., for essential repair and digging for construction projects.
A vacuum excavation truck uses its water lance to break through any soil and the air vacuum to remove the slurry (water and dirt), disposing it into a particular container. Once the work is done, the soil can be placed back if the excavated area must be covered again or moved away from the site location.
