Top 5 Benefits of Using Vacuum Loading Technology

Large industrial or civic construction projects often necessitate the quick removal of many types of waste, and one of the best ways this can be done is through a process called vacuum loading. Vacuum loading is a fast and effective way to remove all types of unwanted debris from your site.

Choosing M Tucker & Sons for our vacuum loading capabilities will always result in a thorough and professional service. Not only will we remove the liquid or physical waste in question, but all debris we collect will be sustainably disposed of in our waste facility in Mount Evelyn.

Does your construction or civil project require large amounts of waste to be removed quickly? Read on to discover if using vacuum loading is right for your site.

What Is Vacuum Loading?

In most cases, vacuum loading involves using a large and powerful vacuum pump to suck up physical and liquid debris into a truck (often called a VAC truck) with a large built-in tank. The rubbish is then taken to a waste disposal facility to be disposed of safely.

At M Tucker & Sons, all the waste that comes into our disposal facility is categorised and assessed to determine the safest method of disposal. Where possible, we sort out materials like sand and stone to be mixed together later on to create new concrete, recycling what we can and helping lessen waste and reduce the need for the use of raw materials.

You now know how vacuum loading works: let’s discuss a few reasons why it’s so important to the civic, industrial and construction industries.

Vacuum Loading Removes Waste Quickly

Due to the powerful suction involved, vacuum loading will suck up your debris very quickly. In fact, it’s much faster than using traditional hand collecting or machine-based gathering to remove unwanted materials. 

Liquid waste can be very tricky to gather and dispose of manually, which is where vacuum loading helps to speed up the process. Once activated, the industrial-strength vacuum is able to suction up any rubbish in its vicinity, thereby shortening the work time and saving you money on labour costs.

Vacuum loading is also fast from start to finish. This is because it only involves one truck, meaning that you won’t need to worry about workers having to take the time to unload various pieces of equipment or the effort required to pack away any debris. Everything is quickly sucked into the tankard on the truck in one single process, leaving you with a clean space free from liquid or physical waste.

Vacuum Loading is a Cost-Effective Solution

Due to its remarkable efficiency and speed, vacuum loading is one of the most efficient methods of solid and liquid waste removal.

Usually, you would have to pay costs to hire machinery like an excavator and for large skip bins to hold all of the waste. But with vacuum loading, everything comes in one truck, which the handlers will use to quickly clean the area. These professionals will take care of the waste disposal too, allowing you to pay one sum for all your needs. Quick, easy to organise and effective – vacuum loading has it all.

You also won’t need to shell out for labour costs to pay workers with specialised licences or training to reach tricky areas, nor will you need permits to allow access. Because it removes most of the manual labour costs that come with traditional cleaning methods, vacuum loading allows you to save money, as well as cleaning up work sites and removing unwanted soil, mud and water.

Vacuum Loading is a Safer Alternative

Sometimes, getting to the waste you need to remove is dangerous in itself. Harmful chemicals or dangerous fumes can make the area hazardous for workers to enter, and this is where vacuum loading comes in real handy. 

Vacuum loading also helps to remove physical hazards for workers. Instead, they can safely remove even the most dangerous elements from a distance. This allows all unsafe materials and waste to be removed without putting any personnel or members of the public in danger.

Protecting the environment from pollution is another benefit of the vacuum loading process. If the waste being removed was transported by hand, it may spill onto the ground or even expel fumes into the air, damaging the nearby area and potentially causing unwanted chemical reactions. 

Vacuum loading syphons the waste from its source through an airtight tube and into the depths of the truck. As a result, the waste is never exposed and has no chance of damaging the surrounding area or the people in it.

Vacuum Loading is Suitable for Many Materials

Vacuum loading can be used for both physical and liquid waste removal. Use vacuum loading on materials like:

  1. Solids: Cement dust, woodchips, sand, gravel, concrete chunks, roots and dirt.
  2. Liquids: Slurry, mud, stormwater sewage, oil, leachate and water.

You might find the thought of many different types of solid waste flying into a vacuum loader truck concerning, but don’t worry–these vehicles are designed to hold all sorts of materials safely inside them.

One of the most common jobs vacuum loading is used for is to remove dirt around delicate wiring or pipes. By loosening the soil with a high-pressure hose, a VAC truck can then suck all the soil away, leaving the underground materials exposed and easy to access. This also removes any chance of these materials being damaged by diggers.

Vacuum Loading Can Be Used Almost Anywhere

Because vacuum loading works by aiming a narrow tube at the area that needs to be cleaned, it’s a brilliant way to remove debris from narrow, damaged or hard-to-reach areas.

Areas that can be difficult to access normally include silos, pits, wells, tanks, manholes and very congested areas with many vehicles or pedestrians. These areas can be impossible to access with traditional skip bins or digging machinery, or they may even be too dangerous to access otherwise.

You can empty pools, tanks and silos with vacuum loading or clean up a worksite, clogged sewer pipe or collapsed structure–all without the need for an arsenal of machinery and workers.
