Digging Safely for Landscapers

Vacuum Excavation is extremely versatile; it is ideally used to dig safely around underground utilities and pipes but can be utilised in many projects and by various trades. Employing a powerful, variable pressured water hose alongside a high-speed vacuum is believed to be the safest and most efficient way to dig. Also known as Non-Destructive Digging or ‘Soft Digging’, Vacuum Excavation uses water to easily break down the soil and then the vacuum sucks the muddy residue up into the tank and removes from the site. This form of digging will prevent damage to underground utilities, tree roots and any other property.

Landscapers Need Vacuum Excavation

Landscaping is one of the more obvious examples of where vacuum excavation is the perfect solution for excavation requirements on the job. Landscapers need to dig regularly, whether the project is a small domestic one or a larger development one for a large company. A landscaper’s work must be precise and they must be vigilant not to damage underground pipes, telecommunication wires and other utilities. Vacuum Excavation can be used for Service Location which will pinpoint exactly where the underground services are, saving the Landscaper time, money and greatly reducing the risk of damage.

Why Use Vacuum Excavation in Your Business.

Using the high- powered wand and water to dig ensures that there is a much higher level of precision of exactly where and the depth you dig to. It is also much easier to dig to the exact width you require. If you are digging to install an underground wire you only need a small trench and so using the precise wand will save you time, money and man power. It means there will be fewer materials to dispose of and therefore less restoration time than if you were using a traditional more abrasive excavation method.

Vacuum Excavation is un-disruptive and depending on the size of the job, mostly needs only one highly trained and motivated operator to dig. The equipment needed is all confined to one vacuum truck and the hose can be extended to 30 metres to reach difficult to access areas. The 5000-litre tank will hold a large amount of wastage which will be safely removed offsite by the operator.
