Vaccum Excavation Services
As part of our line detecting equipment arsenal, we now utilize the Utilivac VE75 vacuum excavation system.
The vacuum excavation method of line detection enables us to safely, and with minimal invasiveness, detect buried utilities and underground anomalies around high risk threats like plastic gas lines, fiber or high voltage lines. Vacuum excavation involves a ‘soft dig’ approach using forced air or water to loosen the soil. Then a large vacuum pump sucks up the loosened soil and gives us access to the target location.
Vacuum excavation is sometimes referred to as air knife or air knifing, pot holing, soft digging, or air spade.
This technique is often used in the environmental world to soft dig the first four feet of earth to verify there are NO utilities before the drill teams proceeds towards bedrock.
