How Vacuum Excavators Install Key Infrastructure Across Canada

How Vacuum Excavators Install Key Infrastructure Across Canada

When installing key infrastructure and building railways, highways, power plants, waterworks, gas pipelines, telecom and construction foundations, the Vermeer line-up provides a premium product range to pick from for trailer-tow or dedicated vacuum excavation machines.

These machines have grown in popularity over the last decade to avoid potential damage and risk with using excavation equipment in sensitive areas like around pipelines or soft ground for “soft excavation”. It’s advisable to review the standard specifications for your municipality before selecting your equipment, these standards can vary based on industry of work or area of operation with vacuum excavators often restricted in weight, licensing or environmental type which Vermeer caters to with a varied line-up.

Vacuum Excavators utilize high powered suction to excavate a level of depth depending on the machine and configuration. The vacuum excavates with high-pressure water or compressed air to break down the ground soil/material before being vacuumed by the machine. A key factor to consider with purchasing a vacuum excavator is to ensure you select one that’s the right size for you. The smallest available Vermeer machine is the ECO25 which can be mounted on the rear of a passenger truck compared to the likes of the VXT600 which is a fully fledged truck machine which is self sufficient in being able to transport and power on its own accord.

Not only can you utilize versatility of equipment availability, but the Confidence Plus program can also offer you peace of mind with your fleet’s maintenance. Your Vacuum Excavator and other Vermeer equipment can be covered by certified technicians across Canada with transferable coverage on maintenance and parts for the future. Not only can your machine be at 100% capacity today but also down the line with key upkeep.
