• The Suction Excavator is designed to increase
  operational efficiency, employee safety and to
  increase environmental protection when
  undertaking excavations, for the purpose of
  utility replacement, repair, detection and other
  maintenance activities.
• They are the safest means of excavating currently
  available, able to work around existing obstacles
  enabling our clients access to their equipment in
  the most testing of situations

CASE STUDY

Suction Excavation Operators
The following case study demonstrates the
operational efficiency that can be achieved by
the use of Suction Excavators. It should also
be taken into account that the reduction in time
taken on this type of work activity has limited
the length of time the general public are exposed
to the hazards and disruption the activity
causes.   All data has been based on the
operational activities within the Bristol
Gloucester areas for a 40-day period in April/May
2007.

The average number of excavations per hour has
been analysed in more detail taking account of
the various types of ground conditions that were
experienced during the operation. Please see

With all excavations, the minimisation of
environmental impacts plays an important part of
the operation with regards to environmental
damage, waste disposal and the use of natural
resources for backfill and reinstatement
operations.
In analysing all of the 580 excavations
undertaken with regards to size, the average size
of excavation was as follows LENGTH 1.3 WIDTH
1.2 DEPTH 1.0

HOW DOES IT WORK?
11

Suction Excavation Operators

• The lorries are fully self-sufficient, equipped
  with a range of tools to enable the breaking out
  of most surfaces.
• The Suction lorries are powered by powerful twin
  turbo fans capable of producing 36,000 m³ of air
  volume per hr, creating huge suction force
  through the 250mm suction hose.

• This power enables the lorries to literally suck
  loose material from the ground. The process is
  helped by using an air lance to loosen soil and
  other materials present.
• This material is then transported into the body
  of the lorry, which has a capacity of approx 8 m³
  of excavated material.

Safety   Zero Underground Services
Strikes           Reductions in Manual Handling
Injuries,           Reduction in Slips, Trips,
Falls           Noise levels far below those of
conventional plant and equipment used for this
operation           Public Safety in greatly
increased due to smaller excavations and the
reduction of time spent on site,
reduced plant and equipment on-site, elimination
of excavated material within work area.
   
Health       Hand Arm Vibration all but
eliminated with the vast reduction in using
conventional plant and equipment           Noise
levels of suction excavator are well below that
of conventional plant and equipment associated
with this type of work activity.
          As all excavated material is removed
from excavation directly into suction excavator
via a sealed unit, the risk of
employees inhaling dust normally associated with
excavation activity is eliminated.
Environment           Excavations size is
greatly reduced, leading to lesser environmental
impact and a reduction in excavated
material. This additionally means less material
for landfill.            Waste can be managed
through operation of suction excavator allowing
separation of hazardous and
non-hazardous waste.            Liquid Waste can
be easily removed through excavator operation,
allowing suitable prevention of any pollution
to land / watercourses.             Due
to sealed suction system all dust is captured at
source and transferred to excavator reducing the
risk of nuisance to the public and
others.
