NON DESTRUCTIVE DIGGING

Non destructive digging is a technique and form of digging that uses a strong vacuum system’s high-velocity suction.

In comparison to traditional excavation methods like jack hammering and machine excavation, it is frequently utilised to aid in visually locating underground utilities and service lines.

High-pressure water jets are used to break up the dirt on a surface while a mobile vacuum device removes the loose soil. Hydro excavation uses pressurized water to create a vacuum inside their buckets which sucks up soil and rocks from the bottom of the hole they’re digging.

A vacuum excavation unit has a wide range of applications and is only constrained by your imagination. It excels at trenching and open-hole excavations. For additional details, or to book an estimate, contact our team today!
