FAQs

Is vacuum excavation suitable for live construction sites?

Yes. Vacuum excavation is ideal for live construction environments where multiple trades are operating simultaneously. It allows precise, non-destructive excavation without the risks associated with mechanical digging.

Can Vac Ex be used on tight or urban construction sites?

Absolutely. Hose extensions and flexible setup options allow excavation in confined spaces, courtyards, basements, and restricted-access areas where traditional plant cannot operate safely.

How does vacuum excavation reduce project delays?

By safely exposing underground services without damage, Vac Ex prevents costly service strikes, rework, and unplanned downtime — helping projects stay on schedule.

Yes. GP Site Solutions regularly works alongside principal contractors, groundworkers, and utility teams, integrating seamlessly into existing site programmes and RAMS.
