Non-destructive digging (or NDD) is ideal for use in applications including pipe laying, cable laying, rail, industrial, gas, roadworks, water, arbor, electrical contractors, utilities networks, councils and more. Why choose dry excavation over wet excavation? Of course, wet excavation uses a great deal of water, making it both expensive and damaging to the environment. Using air rather than water, vacuum excavation machines are far more environmentally friendly ??? and can also be used around trees without damaging the roots. What???s more, when you excavate with a traditional water excavator, any soil that???s removed is considered by councils to be ???contaminated soil??? ??? which means it cannot be backfilled into the ground. Using air excavation eliminates this cost ??? and the need for expensive transport of soil. How can dry suction save your business money? Non-destructive digging machines are far more cost effective than traditional solutions. With no water to consider, there???s no need to transport and dump contaminated soil or backfill spoil at rubbish tips. No water also means there is no risk of damaging underground services or other assets. And of course, dry suction is much faster than hand digging.
