Air Vacuum Excavation Test Pitting

Air excavation provides us a non-invasive and non-destruction excavation system. After we designate and locate the underground utilities, air excavation test pitting allows us to precisely determine the exact location and depth of the buried utility cable, tank or structure. The excavation is able to expose utility lines with complete safety. The test pit is usually an 8” by 8” cut. The air probe breaks up the soil and the vacuum system uncovers the utility. Soil and surface cover is restored to its original condition.
