We recently delivered vacuum excavator training to our client, Ward & Burke, helping their team boost on-site safety and operational confidence.
Vacuum excavators are designed and manufactured using special suction fans that create the negative pressure and air flow to transport material. The suction fans are driven via an engine driven power and are capable of creating an airflow of up to 44,000m³ per hour. Vacuum excavation provides a safer, lower risk excavation alternative to more traditional excavation techniques.
See below different steps involved in operating a Vacuum Excavator…

1. Risk Assessment
Before the training begins, a risk assessment must be complete.

2. Exclusion Zone
Mark out the area you are excavating, your exclusion zone.

3. Exposing Services
Strat excavating, to expose services safely.

4. Finished Excavation
Finally, you are left with all services required exposed, safely.
We offer a range of on-site training courses related to vacuum excavation, including safe digging practices, equipment operation, and utility strike avoidance.
Our training is tailored to your team and delivered where and when you need it. Get in touch with us today to discuss your requirements and ensure your workforce stays safe, skilled, and compliant.
