It also reduces the need for manual hand digging, thereby lessening the associated health risks for construction workers on site. Most importantly, for both industry operatives and the general public, vacuum excavation is exponentially faster than other excavation methods, which is essential for reducing disruption to homes, businesses and services, especially within urban areas.

Finally, because vacuum excavation is so precise, it is much easier to carry out repairs once the excavation has been completed, which again has a positive knock-on effect on the surrounding environment, as well as any nearby business owners and residents.
