Complex Civils Projects
Vac Ex allows precise excavation around existing underground assets, helping civil contractors manage risk, protect critical infrastructure, and maintain productivity on site. Our services are commonly used during enabling works, trial holes, service verification, and congested ground conditions.
By reducing ground disturbance, Vac Ex helps minimise reinstatement costs, environmental impact, and programme delays, making it a preferred excavation method on modern civils projects.
Civils Applications
Typical civils applications include:
Why is Vac Ex used on civils projects?
Vac Ex allows civil engineering contractors to safely expose underground services without damaging surrounding infrastructure, reducing risk during enabling works and live construction phases.
Can Vac Ex support large-scale civils projects?
Yes. GP Site Solutions operates high-capacity Vac Ex units suitable for both small-scale investigations and larger, repeat excavation works across civils and infrastructure projects.
Does Vac Ex help reduce reinstatement costs?
Yes. Because Vac Ex is precise and non-destructive, it minimises ground disturbance, which typically results in lower reinstatement and material costs.
Is Vac Ex suitable for congested sites?
Yes. Vac Ex is particularly effective in congested environments where multiple services are present and traditional excavation carries higher risk.
