Vacuum excavation is a method used to safely and efficiently dig underground without damaging existing utilities. It employs a powerful vacuum system to remove soil and debris, creating a clean and precise excavation site. This technique is particularly useful in urban areas where underground infrastructure is dense. The process typically involves two main components: a high-pressure water jet that loosens the soil and a vacuum hose that collects the material. Vacuum excavation minimizes the risk of accidents and reduces the need for manual digging, making it a preferred choice for construction and utility projects.
