Confined Space and Limited Access 

Limited Access Excavations

If machinery access is your problem, TerraVac is your solution. In areas where excavation machinery cannot obtain access a Vacuum Excavation unit is an extremely efficient and economical alternative to manual labour. TerraVac Vacuum Excavation has the ability to operate up to 60 metres from the Vacuum Excavation unit, allowing excavation and cleanout works in restricted access situations, areas where conventional excavation equipment would have access issues or restrictions such as:  Built up areas, small courtyards, inside buildings, highly congested pedestrian or vehicle traffic areas or areas with overhead obstructions.  The spoils are transferred directly into the spoils tank leaving a nice clean seemingly 'untouched' work area.

 Confined Space Works

Confined space excavation can be an extremely high risk exercise.  TerraVac eliminates putting personnel at risk of trench subsidence or collapse or exposure to contaminated atmosphere or substances in confined space areas.

TerraVac’s Vacuum Excavation units design allows for easy access into confined spaces areas and in many cases completely eliminates the need for personnel to enter the space.  Not only does this eliminate the risk to personnel and also saves time and the costs involved with the permits and training required to perform such high risk tasks.  The use of a Vacuum Excavation unit is an extremely efficient and economical alternative to manual labour, which is sometimes your only alternative in confined space or limited access situations such as cleaning out sumps, pits or tanks. TerraVac Vacuum Excavation has the ability to operate up to 60 metres from the Vacuum Excavation unit, allowing excavation and clean out works in situations where conventional excavation equipment would have access issues or restrictions such as accessing inside buildings or tanks or underground pits. The spoils are transferred directly into the spoils tank of the unit with no unsightly piles of dirt in the work area and minimizing restrictions to access and egress.
