Jet vac excavation is a method to remove land using suction technology. This is done to uncover underground utilities in a non-disruptive manner. It uses a vacuum-enabled truck that uses a large hose to suck up whatever is between it and the area needing repairs. These excavations are typically performed with the help of a construction vehicle parked away from the excavation site. The hose reaches from the vehicle to the site to remove the intended earth. It can remove any type of dirt including mud, rubble, clay, vegetation, rocky soil and frozen earth.
What Do Jet Vac Excavations Do?
This excavation is performed for a variety of reasons, like boring holes, checking utilities, and excavating plumbing pipes and sewer lines for renovation or new installation. It’s a more efficient method than digging trenches. This is because there are no moving parts that may damage underground utilities. The tube transports the dirt from the site back to storage on the construction truck. What’s more, underground cables are not harmed in this suction excavation process.
The Usefulness of Jet Vac Excavations
Jet vac excavations replace the need for costly and time-consuming manual labor. It is a much cleaner process than traditional trench technology. This is due to its ability to store the removed earth. Also, it is significantly less likely to damage underground pipes. These vacuum excavations remove much more earth material than a traditional hand dig, yet achieve this in a much faster and more effective process.
A Safer Alternative to Hand Digging
With suction excavations, pipe repair workers stay on the surface. This protects them from injuries from accidental line damage and the unfortunate possibility of trench cave-ins. Not to mention, trenchless repair means disruption to less surface area. This means less cost to your business for road or parking lot repair and re-landscaping once pipe repair has been completed.
Additional Savings
Using jet vac excavations usually lets your business stay open during the excavation and repair process. This means that it costs less due to a shorter labor period. Also, your business can continue running rather than closing the building during repairs. That way, your business can continue making money without any pause or delay.
