AIR EXCAVATION is the process of using compressed air to disturb the earth’s soil. The soil is vacuumed through a wide, flexible hose to a truck-mounted debris tank – which can be parked hundreds of feet from the dig site to minimize congestion and additional surface damage. Air excavation is used to safely expose underground utilities and allows backfill with the dry material.
