1. What is Vacuum Excavation?

2. Also known as non-destructive digging, Sydney vacuum excavation companies define it as a method used to remove unwanted material u n d e r g r o u n d . I t u s e s h i g h l y pressurised water & an air vacuum to do the job. First, the water is directed into the ground then the air vacuum sucks out the material into a debris tank. It extracts all types of dry & wet material.

3. Why use Vacuum Excavation? Vacuum excavation has a lot of benefits compared to its traditional counterpart. Below are some. • Promotes Safety Given its nature, a safer work environment is promoted by non- destructive digging Sydney. Newcastle construction workers along with service locators benefit from this. Unlike traditional digging, locators do not have to manually move debris so injuries & accidents like slips and trips are prevented.

4. • Minimizes Damage to Subsurface Structures, If Any During excavation, the highly pressurised water directed to the ground only affects the soil. It is not strong enough to cause damage to the underground utilities. Moreover, by removing soil around utilities like pipes, it allows subsurface service location to be more accurate. Thus, further contributing to the safety of workers during construction.

5. • Ensures Accurate Excavation Since the locators are standing right where the excavation is, they can make any necessary adjustments to ensure accuracy. • Contributes to a Cleaner Work Site Since a hose is used to transfer the debris into the tank in vacuum excavation, Sydney service locators help keep the work site waste-free. If there may be any clean-up needed, it does not require much time & effort.

6. • Enables Wider Coverage Likewise, the method allows for a wider coverage particularly difficult- to-reach areas which traditional digging machinery cannot access due to their size. Confined spaces & sites with a low clearance are some of these areas.

7. • Increases Productivity Due to the wider coverage the method provides, service locators can cover a larger area in a given time compared to traditional digging. Thus, any construction work can be done sooner at the site. • Reduces Costs Since the excavation is much less labour-intensive, it needs fewer staff present onsite. Moreover, given that it doesn’t pose any threat to existing underground structures, costly repairs are avoided.

8. • Lessens Disruptions to the Public Complaints can pour in during excavation because of the disruptive noise created. Particularly, in work sites located near or within residential areas, residents usually complain because the loud noise disrupts their daily activities specifically their sleep. However, the noise generated during non-destructive digging is considerably low with only the pump & hose being heard. Thus, the method lessens disruptions to the public.

9. Conclusion With all things said, vacuum excavation really is a much better alternative to traditional digging. From promoting safety to reducing costs, it provides a lot of benefits not just to clients but also to service locators in Sydney & Newcastle.
