Vacuum Excavation Services and Gross Pollutant Traps for Your Construction and Waste Management Solutions
The method of vacuum excavation ensures that underground utilities at a construction site are not disturbed. This is accomplished through the use of imaging techniques such as Ground Penetration Radar (GPR), which allows field engineers to locate underground utilities. As a result, the construction engineers will be able to dig in such a way that these utilities are not harmed. This way, your business may continue to operate because your utilities will not be disrupted during the non-destructive digging process. Vacuum excavation will help in the continuity of your business in this method.
Vacuum excavation, often known as soft dig, is a non-mechanical and less invasive form of digging. To loosen the dirt, a blast of air or water is directed into the dig site. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services' vacuum excavation ensures that your site is dug in a non-destructive manner. The use of air and water to excavate an area without hurting the environment is known as vacuum excavation. A high-pressure water jet is used to break the ground for this. The jet drills the ground in precise proportions while avoiding injuring buried utilities. A vacuum pump is used to create suction, and a pipe is used to collect the slurry and transfer it away from the location. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services' vacuum excavation trucks are equipped with a compressed air lance, waste storage chamber, and vacuum suction to complete the work precisely and quickly.
How
does hydrovac excavation work?
A vacuum excavation unit
uses either a positive displacement (PD) blower or fan-powered air to create
vacuum. The vacuum excavation unit can achieve higher cubic feet per minute
rates with the PD machine than with a vacuum pump. Fan-powered devices move a
tremendous quantity of air, and the fans can be connected in series such that
one fan supercharges the next, allowing for deeper excavation.
Vacuum excavation provides a
clean and efficient method of non-destructive digging in this way. The
procedure is carried out with minimal disruption to employees, customers, or
those in the immediate vicinity. The vacuum excavation procedure protects
employees against trench cave-ins and other hazards while working on an
excavation job. When working in frozen ground, vacuum excavation is useful. A
hot jet of water is used to break up the snow as it falls to the earth.
Benefits
of vacuum excavation
- It is faster and
cost-effective
- Provide cleaner and safer
operations compared to the traditional excavation methods
- Virtually eliminates the
risk of accidentally damaging utilities
- Greatly reduces the
footprint of a jobsite
- Excavated can be reused for
refilling
Vacuum excavation is more
advanced, efficient, and cost-effective than the traditional digging methods.
The process is also environmentally beneficial because it does not involve the
use of any chemicals. The technique can unclog municipal drains, culverts, and
other drainage systems. Vacuum excavation is used for excavating around utility
lines, pipelines, cables, and rail lines for repair and removal because of its
great precision and accuracy.
Hydrovac
vacuum excavation is best suited for the below scenarios:
- Locating and measuring the
buried utilities
- Cleaning valve boxes and
catch basins
- Potholing
- Precision trench digging
- Sewer line repairs
- Surveying
- Geotechnical drilling
Uses
and benefits of gross pollutant traps (GPTs)
Aussie Hydro-Vac Services
provides gross pollutant traps to
physically process and trap solid waste such as litter and coarse sediments. To
remove big, non-biodegradable contaminants, they are frequently utilised as the
initial treatment. The goal of these filtration devices is to keep stormwater
pollution out of the rivers. The operation of gross pollutant traps is simple;
these devices remove particles larger than 5 mm using physical removal
techniques such as fast sedimentation and hydrodynamic separation.
Gross pollutant traps are
often built underground and have a low environmental impact. Gross pollutant
traps are usually used in a treatment train with other stormwater treatment
techniques including tertiary treatments or bio-retention systems once the
primary treatment is completed. Gross pollutant traps are effective in removing
bigger pollutants that could create downstream system obstructions or clogs.
Three
commonly used types of gross pollutant traps (GPTs) are:
Direct
screening: The device incorporates screens in a variety of
orientations to manage the flow. These types of gross pollutant traps are not
self-cleaning.
Vertex
type gross pollutant trap: The device directs flow to produce
vortices but does not have a screen.
Continuous
deflective separation GPT: The device combines a vortex
separation with a non-blocking screening system. The units are precast in
concrete segments, and councils can benefit from their performance and
reliability.
