Suction Excavation - the benefits

When excavating on utilities projects using traditional excavation methods major negative considerations are:

The possibility of a utility strike
Possible disruption costs
Negative publicity and customer service issues
Lost revenue
Injury to either members of the public or excavation crew
And in an extreme case - possible death of a member of the public or excavation crew due to a utility strike

Other general considerations are:

Excavation time lines
Environmental impacts
Excavation materials removal and tipping costs
Reinstatement materials and costs
Traffic disruption and management

With suction excavation many of these considerations are either removed or minimised. Suction Excavation provides a fast, efficient and safety improved method of excavating utilities.

Whilst traditional contact mechanical excavation and manual excavation will always have a place in utilities and other sector contracts, Suction Excavation offers an alternative that is less intrusive, offers greater control using a keyhole approach thereby reducing the excavation size. Is faster, cleaner, tidier and much safer
