About Us
PIER (UK) Ltd was established in 2001 as a civil engineering and drainage business. In 2009, we started to provide vacuum excavation services to our customers and in 2012, after recognising the many safety benefits it held over more traditional excavation methods, we ceased providing civil engineering services to concentrate solely on vacuum excavation hire.With continuous investment in our hire fleet, we became the market leaders in vacuum excavation in 2015 and have not looked back since.
We work across the civil engineering, construction, transport, and utility industries on both public and private projects. We support planned maintenance, improvement works, emergency repairs and other development projects. As the industry leaders in vacuum excavation, we listen carefully to your requirements to ensure we provide the best solution for your project.
