Nondestructive digging as the name represents implies the methods of digging the ground in the safest way so that the services or the materials which are buried inside the ground are not damaged. These nondestructive digging is done for the places which have services underground which means that if the underground surface has communication cables, a network of fiber optics, the pipes of the water or gas then the surface needs to be destruct in the manner so that the services are kept safe.

There are couple of methods which are used in the non destructive digging which reduce the risks that come along with the destruction of the ground. The most common two methods are the hydro excavation and the air vacuum excavation which make use of water and air pressure to dig the ground. Each one of these provide their advantages and could be used in different situations. The hydro excavation is the technique of the nondestructive digging which uses the intense water pressure to break the ground and not only the upper layer of the ground are but the things inside the ground are loosen by this method which gives the easy access to the workers to lift up the things which are not required. The muds and the water which is used in this procedure is then disposed of in the holding tank which could further be used to filtered. However, the hydro excavation is only suitable for the areas where there is a high pressure of the water and the water supply is constant. It could be used on the soil of various grounds. Another thing that you need to know when using the hydro excavation is to control the pressure. If the pressure is not controlled then the underground resources could be damaged and there could be no benefit of using the nondestructive digging method.

In the other nondestructive digging method, which is the air vacuum excavation the procedure is same. But the only difference is that the air pressure is used instead of water. The equipment and the tools which are used in both of these methods are also the same. But the advantage of this method is that unlike water the air is more readily available and it does not create any muddy water which needs to be disposed of but the problem is that due to the air pressure the dust could fly and it could make the people living in the vicinity complain about the procedure.
