Vacuum excavation is the best way to clear earth or debris in almost every single scenario. Vacuum excavation is safer, quicker, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly than conventional excavation methods. The team at PIER UK are ready to discuss your next vacuum excavation project in and around Leeds, or right across the UK, whether you need a compact city vacuum excavator for confined areas or a tracked vacuum excavator for hard-to-access rural locations, we are here to help.
About Us
PIER UK began life as a civil engineering company in 2001. We first offered vacuum excavation as a service to our clients in 2009 and were so impressed by the capabilities of vacuum excavation that by 2012 we had made vacuum excavation the sole focus of our business. We have invested heavily in vacuum excavators so that we have a complete range of equipment for hire, depending on the nature of the work and your project. We pride ourselves on the professionalism of our team and ensure that they will always work with your team, to a consistently high standard.
Why a Vacuum Excavator is Essential for Your Project? Safety, Cost, and Speed
Vacuum excavation is the best choice for your project. It can clear the earth quicker than manual excavation, reducing the cost and making it more time efficient. Whilst clearing earth or debris, the vacuum excavator is safe and causes less damage to the local environment. Manual excavation carries a high risk of cable strikes on utilities, which can be catastrophic to a project. Vacuum excavation matches its power with its gentleness. A vacuum excavator can remove the earth from around tree roots without damaging the tree. The preservation of the local environment is extremely important when developing, and using a vacuum excavator will massively reduce your negative impact on the environment.
How Does Vacuum Excavation Equipment Work?
A vacuum excavator uses the power of suction to remove earth or material on site. This efficient form of excavation can gently suck the earth from around utilities, or other vital structures, without damaging them. The soil is sucked into the vacuum excavator, from where it can be removed off-site or moved to a specific area to be unloaded. The amount of earth that can be excavated into the excavator depends on the capacity of the excavator.
