Stop Air and Soil Pollution by Choosing Vacuum Excavation, and Effectively Manage Your Construction Waste

 Have you ever thought about digging a hole for a project? However, digging it by hand would be hard and time-consuming. Using vacuum excavation to dig the same hole, on the other hand, makes combining high-pressure water and an air vacuum easier for you and your project. These excavators are used to remove unwanted material from surrounding subsurface infrastructure, such as mud, sludge, and slurry. The soil is vacuumed into a waste tank and placed there for later disposal or backfilling into the hole through a vacuum hose.

Why is vacuum excavation important?

Vacuum excavation produces significantly less dust than conventional methods, regardless of the material being excavated. Massive amounts of dust are thrown into the air when soil is moved around on open-top vehicles like dumpers, excavators, and lorries or conveyor belts. Vacuum excavation pulls all of the spoil and dust from the pit directly into the vacuum excavator, which is better for the environment and the general public. Not only this, but it has some advantages as well that are stated below:

 

•          Low carbon footprint
•          Less spoilage
•          Reduced contamination
•          Preserve trees
•          Less air pollution
•          Productivity increases

 

How does Solo Resource Recovery vacuum excavation work?

Vacuum excavation breaks up the soil with highly pressurized, heated jets of water, then suctioned out and stored in nearby debris tanks or trucks for further transfer. It is the ideal alternative when you want to manage larger projects and those that include lower-temperature or more compact soil conditions. Solo Resource Recovery’s vacuum excavation is more efficient, cost-effective, and the company’s operators do it in a versatile way. The company uses a gentler method that eliminates sandblasting with air excavation. Therefore, hydro excavation is a more efficient method for moving soil. In addition, water is less harsh on the excavation equipment because it acts as a natural lubricant, which further reduces wear and tears on the vacuum apparatus. 

Construction waste management services

In addition to vacuum excavation, Solo Resource Recovery also provides construction waste management services.

You badly wanted to renovate your home or office, but the renovation resulted in not just a lovely home or office but also a lot of waste and debris. And getting rid of this material isn't easy because construction waste doesn't fit in regular bins, leaving you with little choice but to engage a professional to assist you with the task. But, before you choose a company, make sure you understand how these professionals work and where they dispose of their garbage because this form of building debris impacts your health and the environment. Building debris has some items that may still be useful to some individuals or may be reused or recycled. And disposing of such waste in landfills should be the last option. It has necessitated meeting the region's or state's requirements and approvals. Therefore, it is equally crucial to manage it properly.  

Site clearance, construction, excavation, remodelling, refurbishment, demolition, and even road work can result in garbage. Construction waste consists of a wide range of materials. Listed below are different kinds of construction waste that are important to be managed:

 

•          Dredging waste
•          Asbestos waste
•          Concrete, bricks, tiles, and ceramics
•          Plastic, glass, and wood
•          Metallic debris
•          Paints, varnishes, and adhesive cement

 Dealing with hazardous and non-hazardous waste

Construction waste can be hazardous and non-hazardous, and their handling is similarly diverse. As a result, it's critical to treat both with equal care. On the one hand, non-hazardous garbage can be donated, recycled, and landfilled, whereas hazardous waste must be processed and disposed of according to state or national rules. Wood trim, metals, roofing, carpet, pad, and gypsum board are examples of non-hazardous waste. While hazardous construction debris includes residual paints, varnish, and containers containing mercury, asbestos, and other materials. Whether hazardous or non-hazardous, managing these types of construction waste provides several benefits, as noted below:

 

• Reduces environmental impact
• Saves cost
• Saves material
• Saves energy
• Conserves landfill

 

After learning about the advantages, you may be considering hiring a professional to handle construction debris. Solo Resource Recovery will manage your construction waste management needs. But, before you go ahead and hire a provider, let’s have a little rundown of how Sole Resource Recovery handles construction waste.

How does Solo Resource Recovery work?

The company offers a variety of bins for different types of waste. After choosing a bin, a wheelbarrow pushes the debris through a rear gate. And then dropped over the low sides by excavator after the selected container. The heavy steel bins are then segregated and transported to a trade waste recycling plant, recycled at a lesser cost than mixed general rubbish. They also have specially constructed bins for residential waste that take up less room than standard bins. In addition, the company provides services in Victoria, South Australia, the Northern Rivers region, and other parts of Australia for liquid waste, medical waste, business recycling, construction trash, and different waste types.
