“When it comes to a non-destructive vacuum excavation, it’s not only about the overall size of the vehicle – there are a number of key factors that need to be taken into account. Together with factors such as tank/hopper capacities and vacuum pressure, there are also the critical issues relating to size, maneuverability, ease of use of the equipment and, perhaps most importantly. The operating costs.”
Neil Costello, VAC Group’s Director
