Soil suction technology

A safe alternative to traditional excavation

Ground vacuuming: Safe, efficient and damage-free earthwork

Various solids such as soil, gravel, sand, clay and other materials can be sucked up effortlessly. Our modern suction excavators are designed to operate precisely and safely, especially in locations where traditional excavation methods are too risky, time-consuming or even impossible. Thus, we offer a sustainable and safe solution for a variety of excavation tasks.

Safety

Our vacuum trucks remove materials without risk of damaging these vulnerable objects, such as cables, pipes and tree roots. 

Efficiency

Suction trucks reach narrow spaces where excavators cannot reach. This ensures less manual work and faster completion.

Versatile

Suction trucks can be used just about anywhere.Even in urban areas or hard-to-reach locations with many facilities.

What is soil vacuuming used for?

Soil vacuuming is often used in a wide range of projects where safety, speed and accuracy are essential. Some typical applications include:

Industry

Soil vacuuming in industrial environments prevents damage to underground infrastructure, such as pipes and cables, which is essential to avoid costly downtime in production.

Cable and pipe management

Soil vacuuming offers a safe way to expose cables and pipes without the risk of damage, which is crucial in complex underground networks.

Tree care

When working near valuable trees, soil vacuuming ensures that tree roots remain undamaged, contributing to the health and longevity of trees.

Environmental soil management, tank remediation

For safe removal of contaminated soil, soil vacuuming is ideal. It prevents the spread of harmful substances, for example in soil remediation or tank removal.

Cleaning or leakage

In emergencies such as spills, soil suction can be used quickly and efficiently to clean up contaminants without causing further damage to the environment.

Calamities, repair work

In emergency situations where rapid intervention is required, such as breaks in pipes, soil suction provides an effective solution for repair work, without collateral damage.

Special projects

For specialised projects requiring precision and diligence, such as trenching or inspection work, soil suction offers a precise and safe method that surpasses traditional excavation methods.

Why APK Group?

Our department within Forest Grijpskerke has been carrying out ground suction works for all kinds of clients in and around the Zeeland region since 2010, including clients in the industrial sector as well as municipal authorities.

We have three ground suckers of the type RSP ES16 on a Mercedes Arox.

The devices can handle up to 36,000 m³ air per hour move and up to Sucking 20 metres deep. They are equipped with two fans and thus have limited fuel consumption, without to efficiency sacrifice.

They can maximise 10 cubic metres of soil (including sand, clay and gravel) moving even on hard surfaces.

Comprehensive certification

Our employees are fully certified for industrial cleaning and have the right knowledge and expertise to carry out this work safely and efficiently. They are also members of the Soil Vacuuming Interest Group, which guarantees compliance with the highest quality and safety standards within the industry.
