Vacuum Excavation

-

FORCE One Australia introduced DryVac technology Australia-wide in 2015 and has establishe­d a strong client base since.

Successful­ly working for resources companies such as Santos, Shell, QGC, and Origin, Force One has the ability to safely excavate material through air power up to 150 metres horizontal or 40 metres vertical.

The process involves removing excess material around buried services or utilities by means of high volume air flow, as well as surface cleaning and many other applicatio­ns.

When using DryVac technology, no water or slurry waste is generated, which means less road miles and the material excavated could be reused on site.

The process generates a lot of benefits which means 50 per cent would be saved on down time costs with no waste disposal, travelling or backfill costs.

It also excavates between existing infrastruc­tures in a non-invasive way and with features such as its hydrostati­c self-drive systems, DryVac technology could be up to 10 times faster when excavating compared to a hydro or jet vac machine.

When it comes to site maintenanc­e and shutdowns the DryVac can reduce costs and shut down times and works on all sort of material from rail ballast rocks, gravel, slugs, bricks, coal, boulders, water and everything in between.
