Vac-Ex Excavation
How we utilise Vac-Ex machines in Construction
Vac-Ex is a non-intrusive method of excavation that uses compressed air to loosen up the ground, followed by suction to remove the loose material. A Vac-Ex machine can generate a powerful stream of air with an operator controlling the intake nozzle, providing full control of the excavation while they remain at a safe distance. This method significantly reduces spoil and dust because all of the extracted material is sucked directly into sealed collection chambers on the machine, making it particularly suitable for use in confined spaces.

Floor Stripping
The stripping is quick, clean allowing projects undertaken to be completed in a minimum time. The method is effective on both concrete and integral screed, stripping the material back clean to the subfloor.
AGL Installation
Airfield ground lighting ensures optimal visibility and safety for airfields across the UK, with upgrading to modern LED units offering significant cost-saving potential over time. We offer an all-in-one service that involves AGL installation, cable chasing and chase sealing, utilising our floor sawing, joint sealing, and diamond drilling capabilities.

Using our electrical or battery powered machinery and utilising diamond cutting technology, we can drill, cut, breakout, dig and remove spoil generated to prepare reinforced concrete structures. Using our various services, we can partner with you to help create the ideal space and environment for your data centre, helping to move it from conception to operational.
We can:
- Form accurate and precise chases and recesses to accept Data Centre services.
- Form trenches to accept power, data, drainage and air conditioning services.
- Provide fixing and anchor load testing.
- Provide various Floor Preparation services preparing surfaces for new floor systems.
- With a fully electric or battery powered fleet of plant and equipment, we are capable of completing any environmentally sensitive internal works without the risk of toxic fumes build up.
- We pride ourselves on our Health and Safety record and demand all our works are completed to a high health and safety standard. We continue to invest heavily in remote controlled, autonomous equipment, allowing the operator to be removed from manual handling heavy tasks and from the point of work and potentially hazardous environments.
- All our operatives are trained to NVQ Level 2 standards, as set out by the Construction Industry Training Board.
- During early planning and design stages, using our Vac-Ex excavation services, we can safely find and identify existing services, avoiding potentially disruptive and expensive service strikes.
