Vacuum Excavation Case Study: A Visit To Southampton

In recent years, Vacuum Excavation has gained popularity due to its ability to excavate quickly and efficiently around buried surfaces with a much lower risk of strikes or worker injury. Majority of workers don’t realise that Vacuum Excavators are well suited to several other complex and delicate applications.

During a trip to Southampton, a compact City Sucker was used to remove non-hazardous soil from the garden of several local authority homes. With the area being congested with a large number of trees, Vacuum Excavation was chosen as the best method for this week as the process required careful handling in order to avoid damage delicate tree roots.

Vacuum Excavation offers a faster, more cost-effective solution than manual hand digging. A standard Vacuum Excavation can remove 2m3of spoil per hour, while an inbuilt skip can hold up to 10m3 before it needs to be emptied. In short, one Vacuum Excavation vehicle will complete a job in the fraction of time in which it would take a team of labourers or a digger.

Another beneficial aspect of Vacuum Excavation is that it is a significant time saver.
