Questions
Air Vacuum Truck in Beaufort FAQ
What is an air vacuum truck?
An air vacuum truck excavates using compressed air instead of water, then vacuums up the dry spoil. Because the soil stays dry it can often be reused as backfill, and there is no slurry to dispose of, a major advantage in winter and around fiber lines.
Air excavation vs. hydro excavation: which is better?
Air excavation keeps spoil dry and reusable and excels in freezing conditions and around sensitive utilities. Hydro excavation usually cuts faster in hard or compacted soil. The right choice depends on soil, season, and utility type.
