What are VAC trucks?

Within construction and other industries, the need arises to excavate delicate areas using highly specialized methods to preserve the integrity of underground infrastructure and for the safety of workers. Hydro Vacuum excavation, using VAC trucks, is the most effective and cost-efficient approach to this.

VAC trucks use pressurized water and high-volume suction to excavate an array of surface types, typically to expose underground utilities in a safe and timely manner. This process eliminates the potential of damaging vulnerable underground assets in what would otherwise be extremely challenging, time-consuming, and costly excavation processes.

This chart indicates the average time required to excavate different surfaces using hydro vacuum excavation:

Material m3/hour Time for 1 m3.
dry heavy soil 2.5 24 min
wet heavy soil or clay 3 20 min
moderately heavy soil with buried cables and pipes 4 15 min
muddy soil, gravel, crushed rock 6 10 min
sandy soil 10 6 min
water 30 2 min
heavy soil with buried cables and pipes excavated by hand 0.25 4 hours

Why Use Vacuum Excavation?
Put simply, SAFETY and RELIABILITY.

Traditional excavation processes are risky and inaccurate. Manual or other means of excavating close to mains power lines, telecommunication systems, sewage pipes and fibre optic cables risk damaging this infrastructure and causing mass outages, burst water pipes, and other inconvenient or hazardous issues.

That’s where hydro excavation is so useful. It offers the much-needed flexibility that the excavation industry requires. Removing and digging soil using traditional methods are very time-consuming.

Hydro excavation eliminates these risks, providing flexibility and hastening processes for removing soil and other surface materials. It is also a budget-friendly option.

How Does it Work?

Vacuum excavation, or non-destructive digging, used to be exclusive to the Canadian Oil and Gas industry to meet the challenges of excavating frozen soil due to its cold climate.

In Australia, we often need to remove soil to clear access to underground facilities and subsurface utilities. Rather than digging, workers can now use hydro vacuum excavation, which uses pressurized water to move soil. Once removed by the water, an air conveyance or suction device is used to transfer the debris to a collection tank for later disposal.

This represents one of the most environmentally sustainable, least destructive excavation methods that also protects underlying electrical connections and water pipes and helps keep workers safe.
