What is Suction Excavation?

Suction excavation is an innovative and safe method for excavating and material removal, using high-powered suction technology to excavate soil, gravel, and debris.
It’s a non-invasive, efficient solution for a variety of excavation projects, particularly in sensitive or congested areas where traditional digging methods may pose risks to underground utilities, structures, or the environment.

How does it work?

1

Suction system

A vacuum hose is attached to a highsuction unit mounted on a truck. This system uses a fan to create strong air pressure that sucks up the material from the ground.

2

Material Collection

The vacuum hose is carefully directed at the target area, where soil or debris is loosened using our high pressured air lance. The suction then collects the debris into the hopper. This process is controlled, ensuring that only the necessary material is removed, and nearby objects or utilities are undisturbed.

Precision and Safety

The precision of suction excavation makes it ideal for delicate projects. Operators can carefully excavate around underground utilities, pipes, and cables without causing damage. The material is then transported and either disposed of or reused, depending on the project needs.

This method reduces the risk of accidents, enhances efficiency, and minimises disruption, making it a popular choice for urban areas, infrastructure projects, and areas with complex underground networks.
