Vacuum excavation is the preferred and most reliable technique in the Ministry of Defence (MOD) sector. The risks associated with traditional excavation methods, such as underground utility strikes, pose significant threats to the safety and security of MOD operations. These incidents can result in not only operational disruptions but also costly repairs and potential security breaches.

To mitigate these risks, the Ministry of Defence relies on Vac-Ex for the use of specialised vacuum excavation units. Our equipment is designed to handle a wide range of excavation tasks across sensitive MOD sites, whether on military bases, training grounds, or other critical infrastructures. We ensure that all work is conducted efficiently and without compromising the integrity of essential underground services.

Each year, MOD contractors trust Vac-Ex to provide them with the right tools for the job, allowing them to safely and accurately uncover buried utilities. Our vacuum excavators are key to expediting infrastructure projects, maintaining security, and ensuring the safety of personnel and operations. By using vacuum excavation, the MOD can avoid costly disruptions, protect critical assets, and maintain the highest standards of safety and operational integrity.
