"By having a suction excavator on our job, we were able to visibly evaluate our boreholes, in a particularly utility dense area, in order to have full confidence our locations were clear before the commencement of our drilling program. The ability of the suction excavator to dump the soil cuttings in tight quarters greatly sped up the backfilling process which allowed us to meet strict project deadlines. Furthermore, the dumping capabilities of the vac truck led to an overall cleaner and safer workspace as minimal housekeeping was necessary upon completion of the daylighting program. "

"…Dry Vac technology is the best. It’s a fantastic technology that allows us to get into the trench and perform those best management practices and give the tree a fighting chance. Long hoses allow for dry vacuum of the soil [in the back yard] which will then be replaced later to backfill the trench… Before dry vac was hydro vac, and that’s the same sort of technology using water, but due to the pressures of the water coming out of the hose, it tends to be damaging to the cambium of the roots, and that’s not a good thing. So with the advent of dry vac technology, it is fantastic technology to use for preserving trees."
