Technics Suction Excavation - PAS 128 compliant

In line with PAS 128 specification QL-A (Quality Level), suction excavation provides a verification process for exposing utilities to determine their depth, position, and size. We have enhanced the service further by providing clients with a 3D point cloud output of the trial holes.
The benefits of using Technics vacuum excavation services include;

Technics’ suction excavation service significantly reduces potential issues at the design stage for construction projects
This non-mechanical excavation solution can also be employed in areas inaccessible to traditional machinery.
Test holes can be as small as 20cm ², minimising the risk of excavation collapse
Backfilling the existing spoil from the Vacuum excavator tank is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment.

With 11 years of excavation expertise carrying out projects – for companies such as Wood plc, Redrow and Lidl – our service also includes the following options as standard:

Handle the procurement of utility asset records require before any excavation (or we can carry out a utility mapping survey prior to excavations).
Manage the permit to dig process
Accurate surveying of exposed utilities following vacuum excavation.
Traffic management requirements
Accurately survey the exposed utilities
Reinstating materials (subject to approval) or managing the removal of the materials if required
Provide provision for detailed drawings of all detected and exposed utilities using multiple technologies

Technics Group has been instrumental in the development of many recognized processes and have been involved with the PAS128 standards for Utility Detection and Mapping. These survey methods and similar standards are being utilized all over the UK in the planning and design of projects prior to construction. The use of Subsurface Utility Engineering is increasingly being acknowledged by construction companies, public utility authorities and consulting engineers as a best practice technique for assisting their design teams to reduce physical and financial risk and in improving their health and safety record.
Technics Group works to both TSA and PAS 128 standards.
