Vacuum hydro excavation - maintaining job site integrity while keeping costs under control.

1. Vacuum hydro excavation - maintaining job site integrity while keeping costs under control.

2. The traditional, manual method of digging a site is a labour-intensive task that takes a significant amount t of time. In addition to the time expenditure, manual digging can be inaccurate in terms of moving more than the necessary amount of soil, requiring backfilling after the excavation process. Heavy machinery can bring safety risks to nearby residents and requires significant risk assessment and risk management processes. For these reasons, and many more, the use of advanced technologies such as vacuum excavation and hydro excavation is often the better option. These advanced technologies avoid many issues and downsides associated with traditional methods of excavation, drain cleaning, potholing, daylight excavation and landscaping.

3. Advancement over traditional methods • Hydro vacuum excavation, or hydrovac, is performed using a water jet to dig the hole, and a vacuum to suck the slurry. Hydrovac is an advancement over mechanical digging as your underground utilities, such as gas pipes and electricity wires, are not damaged. The machinery includes water heaters, a debris tank and a vacuum system. The process of hydro excavation in Brisbane involves a combination of high pressure water in low streams, along with an air vacuum, to excavate soil at a controlled rate. While the high pressured water breaks the soil, the vacuum lifts the slurry from the excavation area and a debris pipe carries this slurry to the debris tank for disposal in an appropriate way. 

4. How hydro excavation is performed • For vacuum excavation Gold Coast, Brisbane and beyond, a suction excavator or vacuum tanker, which is also sometimes called a vacuum lorry, is used. The earth to be excavated is loosened and its debris is broken using compressed air. The material is sucked to the holding tank by a powerful vacuum system. The process can be used to vacuum out a pipe sewage system that is constructed underground, and also commonly used for large-scale industrial drain cleaning in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas, and storage tanks. The process is also used to improve the soil around the trees and drainage near the rails. 

5. The process is less invasive in nature compared to other traditional methods of excavating  • As no chemicals are used in hydro excavation, it is a more environmentally-friendly method than some of the other options. • Vacuum excavation Gold Coast projects benefits from a lesser volume of disposal materials and hence less restoration work, due to the high precision of the equipment. • The process does not gather any dirt on the road, so the surrounding areas remain clean while performing drain cleaning – a must in Brisbane and other populated areas. • Highly effective and minimally invasive method Advantages of doing vacuum hydro excavation: 

6. Hydro excavation in Brisbane is a highly effective and minimally invasive method for digging. As water jet is used for digging rather than metal tools, buried utility lines such as gas pipes, water pipes and electricity wires remain safe and the integrity of your site is maintained. The process requires less manpower, so you can utilise vacuum excavation in Gold Coast at a lesser cost compared to the conventional digging methods.

7. No disruption to routine activities • The process of drain cleaning in Brisbane leads to minimal disruption in traffic and inconvenience to public in terms of power line cut offs. As the equipment for hydro excavation in Brisbane can be positioned at a distance from the excavation area, there will be minor congestion at the excavation site, with narrow lanes, and hence almost no disruption to the regular traffic and footfall in the area.   • Since most sewers and pipelines are underground, hydro excavation is the preferred choice for plumbing jobs and drain cleaning in Brisbane, Gold Coast, and surrounding areas. By digging through the soil without damaging the existing underground infrastructure, hydro excavation drain cleaning in Brisbane ensures that your work is completed faster. 

8. Accurate excavation with lesser cost Any good construction needs a solid foundation, and for this, ground needs to be properly excavated. Due to large areas involved in construction projects, traditional digging methods take a long time. As such, you can perform hydro excavation in Brisbane, or wherever your project is located, much faster and with lesser manpower and cost. Landscaping can be done with less complication with the help of vacuum excavation.

9. Many project managers opt for vacuum excavation on the Gold Coast, in Brisbane, and on the Sunshine Coast, as as it is highly precise and ensures that holes are made accurately. As the process is completed with a high level of accuracy, surrounding soil is not disturbed and your landscaping will have a stronger foundation.  Advanced technologies and equipment used by Aussie Hydrovac Services for drain cleaning in Brisbane, hydro excavation and vacuum excavation Gold Coast, Brisbane and beyond, will deliver you the right results for your project.
