BENEFITS OF VACUUM EXCAVATION
Total Utility Locations offers hydro vacuum excavation services, an environmentally friendly and safe process of high-pressure water and vacuum systems to excavate around underground infrastructure safely. Hydro vacuum excavation is becoming the preferred method for operators in the construction industry. Hydro vacuum excavation significantly minimises the risk of damage to underground utilities by safely breaking up soils with water as an alternative to manual or mechanical digging. This new excavation method enables safe, fast, precise digging that requires less backfill, labour and restoration. Hydro vacuum excavation can safely excavate without causing unnecessary damage to existing underground services, avoid costly repair and downtime and create a safer working environment for operators and the general public.
REDUCED RISKS
Vacuum excavation reduces the risks of damaging utility services such as water, gas, telecommunications, power and sewers.
LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Vacuum excavation reduces the environmental impact on the excavation site as minimal soil and surface disturbance occurs.
REDUCED NOISE
Vacuum excavation reduces noise around residential areas so operators can work at any time day or night.
CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE
Traditional excavation methods can be timely and more labour-intensive, particularly if a strike to existing infrastructure occurs. All can result in greater time, labour and reinstatement costs to a project.
SAFER OPERATIONS
Vacuum excavation reduces the risk of injuries to operators when conducting excavation works.
GREATER ACCURACY
Vacuum excavation practices operate with fewer noises allowing operators to work in noise restrictive areas and at any time, day or night.
