Non-destructive digging as a technology has been established to make sure that the excavating projects are safer without leaving damage in the area where the holes are made. We have heard so many horror stories when mechanical drilling was applied and have destroyed underground utilities like gas pipes, water pipes, electric cables and other underground assets.

Furthermore, water pipes that are burst can cause flooding, gas pipes can have leaks and electrical cables can cause troubles with the electrical power. To avoid these unpleasant situations, we practice non-destructive excavating as a widely accepted method, especially for high-risk areas. Sites with high voltage electricity can be dangerous for workers during the process of excavation and by using advanced technology the procedure becomes easier and quicker.

Of course, you don’t want to cause damage to your property while you are checking the sewer system or the underground installations. Manual digging can be risky for the buried assets and can cause problems as well as unnecessary expenses. It seems like the mechanical drilling is fast and effective but at the same time can do more damage than good, because the traditional drilling engages heavier equipment and tools on the site.

All of these problems can be avoided by applying non-destructive techniques as superior alternatives compared to other processes. There is no need to involve too many workers in the construction project, less staff and time will be enough to finish the job without any risks or damages. Besides, non-destructive digging allows penetrating more deeply into the ground without worrying about damaging the underground utilities. Every single time when you excavate through tight space you can use this method to penetrate more properly and precisely and without any additional costs.

Excavation around parks and areas with trees is another use of this method to protect the roots of the plants where the digging needs to be performed. This technology offers so many benefits even for the archaeological projects when the highest levels of speed are required without any risk of damaging the infrastructure. If damage occurs the construction project will be delayed, or there will be a loss of power if an electric cable is burst, even a gas explosion can occur when a gas pipe gets damaged.

These are two types of excavations; hydro and air vacuum excavation. The condition of the soil will determine which way it will be applied. Overall, if you are searching for a reliable digging contractor to save you time and expenses we are here to help you. We are capable to work in any area with any type of construction project.
