Non destructive digging is quickly becoming the preferred method of excavation. This is mainly due to its vast array of benefits including safety, efficiency and cost effectiveness.
Non destructive digging, also known as hydro excavation, works using two main aspects.
- High pressure water – to safely excavate the ground
- Powerful Vacuum – to remove and collect the material from the ground
This method of excavation provides precision whilst alleviating many risks commonly associated with conventional digging options. Furthermore, it is an extremely versatile digging method and can be used for tasks such as:
- Sign post and power pole digging
- Tree removal
- Pot holing
- Limited access excavation
- Sewer and water repair excavation
- Storm water pit cleaning
- Many more!
Benefits
Safe
Hydro Excavation is by far the safest method of excavation in terms of the operator, property, and community. The underground of a worksite is densely packed with gas lines, sewer lines, internet cables, vital pipes, etc. which can be poorly mapped. When conducting a conventional digging option, hitting one of these lines is likely. This can cause a great deal of damage to the property, injury to the operator and a major inconvenience to the community. Non destructive digging deters these issues from arising.
Cost Effective
Non destructive digging is the more cost effective option due to the lower risks involved in the method. That is, there is much less risk of damaging underground utilities. Avoiding this also means avoiding costs involved with paying for the damage caused and costs involved with injured workers due to liability.
Time Efficient
It provides a timely method as compared to mechanical excavators or simply digging by hand to uncover utilities. Further, due to reduced risk of damage, it ensures jobs can be carried out within the desired time frame. That is, damage to lines can delay projects, putting a halt to your entire working week, and reducing the number of jobs you can fit into your schedule. Non destructive digging means you can complete your jobs easily and on time without any issues.
Better for Business
Non destructive digging is simply overall, better for business. It is a less invasive method, providing less mess and a neater finish you can be happy with. It is significantly quieter compared to mechanical excavation which minimises the disruption to the local community and surrounding wildlife and makes it a much more pleasant process for the operator. Not to mention it is the most environmentally friendly method of excavation.
