SAFETY ADVANTAGES OF SUCTION?

The potential of striking underground utilities and cables in major cities like Manchester drastically increases when compared with lesser populated areas. The subsequent damage and cost incurred is relative. If underground utilities are damaged, this could result in a larger detrimental effect than lesser populated areas, both to surrounding infrastructure and passers-by. 

Vacuum excavation expunges the risk of environmental damage, health and safety and damage to surrounding infrastructure. This method allows for the operation of machinery and the removal of materials below the ground’s surface within a safe distance.  

Suction excavators simply suck up the soil, reducing the labour intensive hours with a shovel and air hammer, both of which are more likely to cause damage. Suction excavators are up to 16 times more efficient than conventional methods and salvage the potential time taken from the otherwise cost-heavy manual labour. 

VAC UK’s vacuum excavators are ready for immediate employment, allowing efficient project completion and are operated in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. Our machinery provides an exponential level of industrial safety, requires little space for application and can remove debris from very small cavities.

Suction excavation always results in a clean site and ensures that fewer machines and people are deployed per project. With vacuum excavation, Instead of three labourers, an excavator and a truck, you will only need the machine and its operators. Your carbon footprint is also considerably reduced and material extraction is more efficient and environmentally friendly.

If you are already working with a company for vacuum excavation in Manchester and operation space is restricted, VAC UK has several options for you. One option available is to employ a long hose. We are able to supply your project with up to 200 metres of long hosing, enabling suction even from the remotest of locations. Our hosing can be used to gain access to difficult and confined spaces. This helps to reduce the need for operators to place themselves in dangerous situations, unnecessarily risking their health and safety.

Alternatively, your project could employ a remote-controlled unit that secures the suction excavator in the optimum position, without having to be adjusted by hand. This is the ideal option for hazardous sites.

In major cities like Manchester, minimising your carbon footprint is compulsory. The Manchester City Council are currently developing new clean air plans and are introducing clean air zones across the city to tackle poor air quality and improve the overall health of its residents. To keep in line with these new initiatives, VAC UK provides a more environmentally friendly alternative for your project. Suction excavation is the perfect solution for those who have a vested interest in preserving their green credentials or decreasing their overall environmental impact.

Suction excavation has many environmental benefits:

• Damage to tree roots is vastly reduced when excess soil between roots and shrubbery is removed
• Fewer lorries are required on the project site, reducing your carbon footprint 
• The time efficient grab load diminishes both public and traffic disruption, minimising third party damage
• The size of excavation sites are up to a third smaller when compared to other more traditional methods
• Pedestrian access and traffic flow are increased due to reduced site size
• The site is cleaner due to allocated sections for excavated materials to be tipped
