It’s Safe
Vacuum excavation is a type of non-destructive digging. It removes soil around underground utilities rather than cutting through them with a bucket, so it carries less risk than mechanical digging.
What is Vacuum Excavation?
Vacuum excavation uses high-pressure water to break the ground into smaller pieces and a suction system to remove them, keeping disturbance around the dig low.
The aggressive nature of highly pressurised water allows its water lance to cut through almost any type of soil such as dirt, sand or clay. When the ground surface is loose enough, our high-flow vacuum system will then be utilised to extract these dislodged materials efficiently.

At Rapid Vac Trucks, our vacuum excavation services offer a range of benefits that make them the preferred choice for many projects!
Less ground disturbance
Spoil is removed as the dig progresses, which limits disturbance to the surrounding area. The process uses water rather than chemicals, and disposal of the spoil is confirmed for each job.
High Precision and Accuracy
If compared to traditional excavation methods, the high powered stream of water when operated by professionals can be precise and accurate in unearthing underground utilities that require servicing or repair.
Highly Efficient
Because material is removed as it is dug out, vacuum excavation can reduce manual labour for digging and debris removal. Whether that lowers the overall cost depends on the job.
How do you apply vacuum excavation?
Vacuum Excavation can be applied across a wide range of job scopes that require precision, preservation of surroundings and also sensitive underground utilities.

Slot Trenches
Slot trenching involves cutting a narrow trench to install pipes, cables, or underground utilities. WIth Vacuum Excavation, slot trenches are safer, easier and can be done with higher accuracy when compared to digging mechanically.
Pilot Hole Excavation
A pilot hole is a small bore that helps pipes be laid accurately. Vacuum excavation can suit pilot holes near sensitive infrastructure, where its non-destructive approach reduces the risk of damage.
Potholing
Potholing works are much safer when done with Vacuum Excavation, as it can safely get to the underground utilities and expose them from the earth covering them. The excavated areas will also be much cleaner as the excavated debris will be vacuumed out as soon as they are dug out leaving leaving the underground utilities that you are locating much easier to spot.
Installation of Poles and Signs
Vacuum excavation can also be utilised for pole and sign installation. It will be an easy choice for you to choose our ONE Vacuum Truck compared with an excavator, a tipper truck and a few manual labourers.
Pipe and Tank Cleaning
Though Vacuum Excavation contains “Excavation” within its name, it can also be used for cleaning of your pipes and tanks. WIth the strength of pressurised water, it will be the best method to be used for cleaning and also clearing out the debris clogging your pipes and tanks. With the added benefit of hot water availability, vacuum excavation can also be used during cold weather.
