We work with companies across the UK to provide vacuum excavation services for a wide array of different locations. From rural Scotland using our tracked excavators designed to access hard-to-reach areas, where wheeled vehicles would struggle, to urban areas, like the city of Birmingham, where our City Sucker can work in restricted areas, carefully removing earth from around existing utilities, safely and swiftly. Whatever your project looks like, we can work with you to provide a professional and efficient service, working with your project management team within the bounds of your timescales and budget.
About PIER (UK)
Since we first provided vacuum excavation services to our customers in 2009, we have concentrated on building our knowledge of suction excavation (the services alternative name), and invested in our equipment and our teams. We were so impressed by the capabilities of suction excavation and the benefits that this could bring to our customers, that we focused solely on providing this service. We have strategically invested in our fleet and equipment, as well as ensuring that our team is fully trained, accredited, and professional. This is reflected in our accreditations from many leading trade bodies such as Safe Contractors Scheme and FORS. We believe in providing a safe, professional, reliable, and efficient service to our customers, and indeed many of our clients have worked with us on multiple projects over the years.
Benefits of Vacuum Excavation for Your Project
There are many benefits to vacuum excavation over more traditional methods of excavation. The safety aspect is particularly important, with the reduced risk of cable strikes to operatives. Cable strikes can be deadly, and even if not can prove disruptive and costly to a project. Due to the extraction method of a vacuum excavator, the earth can simply be sucked from around the utilities, with little or no risk. A vacuum excavator is a very quick method of extraction, and this is reflected in the pricing, making it a cost-efficient choice. Excavation hire can be used in built-up areas, areas with many utilities, and around protected trees. It is less disruptive to the local environment, allowing large areas of earth to be removed, without needing to damage the topsoil. It is a better choice from every angle—safety, cost, and the environment. It is easy to see why more and more people are choosing vacuum excavation.
How Does it Work?
When you work with us, we will always be very clear about the process and progress of your project. We appreciate the complexities of scheduling, and will always do our best to accommodate your time frame. We quote each project on an independent basis so that we can choose the best vacuum excavator for you, and your budget. Suction excavation is used in emergency situations, and we have the capacity in our fleet to be able to respond to these scenarios. Conversely, many projects are planned far in advance, and we can work with you on these projects. We always communicate with our clients and discuss any issues that may arise. We can provide both the suction equipment to hire, and for you to use on site, or we offer a fully operated hire, with our trained, experienced, and professional team, who will work with your site team. Please discuss with us your requirements, so that we can provide you with the best service for your site.

How PIER (UK) Can Help You With Your Vacuum Excavation Project?
We work with a range of different companies, at different locations across the country. We have invested heavily in our resources and equipment so that we have an extensive range of excavators, dependent on your site, infrastructure, and terrain. Whether you are working in a remote part of the Highlands, creating drainage systems, and need tracked excavators to reach your location, or are developing a site where preserving the local environment is the top priority, we will have the best vacuum excavator for you. Our excavators come with differing capacities, so the smallest in the range is the City Sucker with a capacity of 2 m³ whilst our largest excavator for hire is the RSP ESE 6 with a capacity of 12 m³. All sites have different access arrangements, and some may be quite restrictive, but our equipment comes with extra long hoses which can be used to access hard-to-reach locations, allowing the excavator to be some distance from the clearance site. We are always on hand to discuss any challenges that you may be experiencing on your site, and work with you to ensure that your project is completed successfully.
