Utility Service Strikes are one of the greatest risks in carrying out any excavations, this is virtually eliminated by using vacuum excavation as recommended by the HSE.
Slips, Trips and Fall injuries have been greatly reduced due to no excavated material being stored within the work area. All material excavated is immediately transported to suction excavator.
Manual Handling Injuries all but eliminated due to operation not requiring manual excavation or plant and equipment to be moved to and from work area.
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.
