Air excavation is a non-destructive digging method that uses compressed air to remove soil and other materials. This technique is often employed in construction and utility work to expose underground utilities without damaging them. The process involves directing a high-pressure stream of air into the ground, which breaks up the soil and allows for easy removal. This method is particularly useful for locating and repairing underground utilities such as water lines, gas pipes, and electrical cables. Air excavation minimizes the risk of damaging these essential services, making it a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional digging methods.
