CIVIL ENGINEERING AND LINE CONSTRUCTION

AN MTS SUCTION EXCAVATOR MAKES YOUR CONSTRUCTION SITE SAFER

When working around sensitive infrastructure, such as electric or fibre-optic cables, the suction excavators from MTS, one of the world market leaders, are real game-changers for many civil engineering companies. MTS suction excavators are indispensable especially in situations where a conventional excavator risks rupturing a line or where manual digging is the only option.

An MTS suction excavator saves manpower and time

After removing the asphalt, concrete or pavement surface, the ground below is gently loosened using the onboard compressor and the loosening tools provided, such as an air lance. The material is then sucked up via the suction hose into the collecting container of the MTS suction excavator. All lines and pipes are fully protected.

Depending on the model, container volumes of 3.5 to 12 m3 provide sufficient space for direct removal. The suction hose is guided by the extremely stable articulated MTS power arm, which can be swivelled by 180°.

The entire operation is up to 16 times faster with an MTS suction excavator than with manual digging, meaning the construction site can be cleared for other construction machines much sooner.

MTS suction excavators deliver all this and more in civil engineering and pipeline construction:

• Exposure of infrastructure pipes and lines for gas, water, telephone, etc.
• Exposure of house connections with minimal excavation of soil for the trench
• Creation of start and target trenches
• Removal of material for trenchless cable laying using the keyhole method
• Collection of milled deposits from pipe maintenance or repair
• Collection of dislodged incrustations from pipe interior maintenance
• Well construction and renovation
• And much more…

The excavators can also be used for many other applications, such as:
