Procel has, and uses, the latest Vermeer vacuum excavation system for its potholing and other non-destructive digging needs.

Procel's vacuum excavation uses high pressure jets of water to loosen soil, which is then sucked up through a vacuum hose. It locates underground services without damaging the utilities.

Procel's hydro excavation system provides an alternative to jack hammering and drilling, whilst:

• Exposing underground electrical cables, pipes and conduits
• Reducing disturbance to surroundings/environment
• Preventing damage to nearby materials
• Using water for rapid excavation (thereby increasing safety for users / insurers)
• Using air to expose underground assets (thereby reducing liability)
• Providing exploratory digging to locate services prior to major works
• Potholing to a depth of 4 metres
• Providing an easy and safe method for potholing and trenching
• Being safe for use around gas and telephone lines, water pipes, tree roots, electrical cables and the like
