NON-DESTRUCTIVE DIGGING

Less invasive method of excavation

Vacuum excavation or Non-destructive digging is a non-mechanical and less invasive method of excavation. A blast of water is first directed into the dig site to loosen soil and break up any large materials. An air vacuum hose is then used to remove the debris from the hole and transfer it to a specially designed tank.

Vacuum excavation reduces the need for manual hand digging or abrasive excavation methods (via traditional hydraulic excavators), which lessens the associated risks for workers on site.

Excavators don't need to worry about striking a utility when using vacuum excavation (versus mechanical methods), which results in the need for costly repairs.

Vacuum excavation, when performed in accordance with accepted industry practices, is recognised as being safer than hand digging within the tolerance zone around underground facilities.
