Suction Excavator
The use of a suction excavator is an economical solution in applications where there is a high risk of damage to utilities or in circumstances where site conditions make conventional excavation impossible.
Areas of Application include:
- Replacement of pipes and fittings
- Location of underground utilities
- Culvert Cleaning
- Installation of lighting structures, posts and barriers
- Removal of demolition waste
- Cleaning of tanks and silos
- Tree Removal
Benefits
When excavating on construction projects using conventional excavation methods major negative considerations are:
- Possibility of utility strikes
- Large Excavations and subsequent reinstatements
- Limited Site Access leading to unsafe work areas
- Traffic Disruption
- Limited excavation time lines
- Environmental Impacts
With the use of a suction excavator many of these considerations are either removed or minimized. Our Suction Excavator provides a fast, efficient and safe method of excavating utilities. Using a suction excavator to work in proximity to underground utilities is a non-aggressive and non-invasive technique to ensure that all utilities are exposed safely. The extents of the excavations are also minimized, ensuring minimal costs to landfill and reduced reinstatement costs.
While the use of traditional excavation will always have a place in the construction sector, suction excavation offers an economical alternative where there are on site restrictions that cannot be removed.
Our Suction Excavator can be readily adapted to undertake various work applications including culvert cleaning, debris removal from tanks and silos where there will be access restrictions.
