Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is vacuum excavation?
Vacuum excavation is a non-destructive digging method that uses air or water to loosen soil and a powerful vacuum to remove it. This allows for precise excavation around underground utilities with minimal risk of damage.
What is the difference between air excavation and hydro excavation?
Air excavation uses compressed air to break up soil, while hydro excavation uses pressurized water. Air excavation is typically preferred in sensitive areas or colder conditions where water use is not ideal.
When should vacuum excavation be used instead of mechanical digging?
Vacuum excavation is recommended when working near underground utilities, in congested areas, or when accuracy and safety are critical. It reduces the risk of utility strikes and surface damage.
