What is Vacuum Excavation?

[@belspace]

That's exactly what I'm looking for !!!

[@REFUSETRUCKS3]

How does it have enough power to suck up all that compacted earth and stones?

[@Guamiury]

They use water to soften it up

[@placeholdername0000]

Could this be used to vacuum up dirt around landmines without detonating the landmines? Presumably this could make minesweeping faster? Although it should probably be done with a remove controlled or armored machine.
