Cornwall's city deserves the most precise approach to underground excavation.
Enhanced safety
Vacuum excavation significantly reduces the risk of damaging underground utilities, ensuring the safety of workers and preventing costly repairs.
Precise digging
With vacuum excavation, you can achieve precise digging with minimal disruption to the surrounding area, enabling more accurate excavation in tight or sensitive spaces.
Environmental protection
By utilising vacuum excavation, you can minimise environmental impact by reducing soil disturbance and preserving the integrity of the surrounding ecosystem.
Increased efficiency
Vacuum excavation offers faster and more efficient digging compared to traditional methods, allowing for quicker project completion and improved productivity.
Delve into the details
As Cornwall's only city, Truro is the administrative and commercial hub of the county and sees significant construction and utilities activity. The city centre's mixture of Georgian townhouses and Victorian commercial buildings sits above a complex underground environment, where gas, water, and telecoms services often share corridors with historic culverted watercourses running down from the surrounding hills. Truro's tidal river location means that groundworks near the waterfront require particular care to avoid disturbing tidal infrastructure and flood defence systems. The ongoing growth of the city — including the ongoing expansion around Threemilestone and Truro city centre regeneration — generates regular demand for vacuum excavation to safely identify services ahead of major groundworks programmes.
