When Vacuum Excavation is a Necessity
A vacuum excavation process has many different uses and applications,
but it’s important to remember that not all vacuum excavation jobs are
created equal. Some jobs require the use of an experienced vacuum
excavation expert, while others can be handled by any company with the
right equipment and experience in general excavation methods. Whether
you need to hire a vacuum excavation expert or not depends on the
particular job you’re working on, so here are some things to consider
before you choose whether or not to hire a specialist.
When Can You Use Vacuum Excavation?
What kind of excavation project calls for vacuum excavation? It all
depends on what you’re looking to do. If you need to get rid of asbestos,
then vacuum excavation may be your best bet—the EPA classifies it as a
non-destructive method of asbestos abatement. This process involves
sucking up contaminated materials and transporting them to an offsite
disposal location. Be sure to work with professionals who are certified
following local and state regulations, as there are strict codes that must
be followed during any asbestos abatement procedure. Another reason
why professional vacuuming might come in handy: vandals have been
known to pour gasoline into underground tanks and blow them up with
TNT, which can cause contamination in nearby soil.
How Does a Vacuum Excavator Work?
Vacuum excavators work in much the same way as other types of heavy
construction equipment: they’re used to break down and move large
quantities of material.
Advantages of Using Vacuum Excavators?
There are two main things that separate vacuum excavators from other
construction machines, however: how they get their power and how they
dig. While most machines rely on diesel or gasoline engines to generate
power, vacuum excavators run primarily on electricity generated by in-
truck generators. And while most machines use buckets to break up the
earth and remove it, vacuum excavators have blowers that suck up loose
soil through an extension tube and suck down solid rock through a hollow
cutting head.
When it comes to removing large amounts of earth and other materials
efficiently, there are few better options than vacuum excavation. Unlike
some methods of excavation that require ripping apart roads and other
property, vacuum excavation can be used to remove large quantities of
material without causing any damage to nearby structures. The material
will be removed from wherever it’s located – even if that means deep
within a manhole or sewer tunnel – then disposed of so it doesn’t become
an issue later on.
How to Use a Vacuum Excavator
Correctly
Not only is vacuuming far less disruptive than many other forms of
excavation, but it also leads to safer situations for everyone involved in
the project. If you’re looking for construction projects in Denver or
elsewhere in Colorado, look no further than Desert Excavating & Paving!
The Right Way to Use a Vacuum Excavator Correctly Is Important for
Safety and Quality: Tractor-pulled vacuum excavation is an increasingly
common way to dig hard soil in a place where old-fashioned power
equipment may damage your driveway or home. To make sure you’re
getting good service, you must understand how to use one correctly.
Here are some pointers.
The Importance of Safety Equipment
When excavating, it’s important to follow all safety protocols. One
mistake can be devastating, as contractors who work with heavy
machinery know all too well.
How to avoid accidents when digging
with a vacuum excavator
By taking extra care and using protective gear, you can prevent injury—and
expensive accidents from occurring. Here are just a few of your options for safe
excavation On-site Protection: Anyone working on a project needs to wear
durable shoes that protect against damage caused by tools or falling objects.
Furthermore, hearing protection protects your ears from potential damage
caused by loud equipment. Always wear eye protection when on-site; not only
will it help avoid temporary blindness but also significantly reduce overall
injuries caused by flying debris in case of an accident. The industry standard
includes goggles, face shields, and earmuffs. Respiratory protection is also
recommended when dealing with harmful materials or particles (read: dirt).
Small particulates will have an easier time entering your respiratory system
without proper coverage—which can quickly lead to illness if left untreated long
enough!
When you are hiring a company to dig, you must understand your potential risks.
Accidents can happen even if you’re hiring professionals, but there are some
precautionary measures you can take.
When using heavy machinery like vacuum excavators, you need to keep
certain things in mind to ensure your safety. Here are three of them
What steps must be taken before digging begins? Digging out dirt isn’t
dangerous as long as you know what you’re doing. But it does involve
physically demanding work and for most people, digging will lead to
some sort of physical fatigue or exhaustion. Fatigue may cause accidents;
therefore, anyone involved should avoid being overly tired when digging
occurs—not only do they increase their risk of injury, they might
accidentally make mistakes that could have been avoided otherwise.
