We recently provided Vacuum Excavator training for one of our clients Ward & Burke.
Vacuum excavators are designed and manufactured using special suction fans that create the negative pressure and air flow to transport material. The suction fans are driven via an engine driven power and are capable of creating an airflow of up to 44,000m³ per hour. Vacuum excavation provides a safer, lower risk excavation alternative to more traditional excavation techniques.

Before the training begins, a risk assessment must be complete.
Strat excavating, to expose services safely.
Mark out the area you are excavating, your exclusion zone.
Finally, you are left with all services required exposed, safely.
