World first vacuum excavation technique at HS2's Euston site.

HS2 Ltd has revealed a new vacuum excavation technique for piling which could have massive benefits for the wider construction industry in the UK and abroad. The innovation, developed by specialist contractors working on HS2, is better for the environment, safer for workers and reduces construction noise, to the benefit of neighbouring communities and businesses.
The zero trim pile technique involves sucking out excess concrete whilst still wet using a new vacuum excavator technique. Traditionally in piling, concrete is overpoured and then workers have to break out the excess concrete. This can cause a lot of health problems, including hand-arm vibration syndrome, hearing loss and silicosis. By removing the need to break out excess concrete, this new approach is safer for workers, and also reduces the manhours involved in complex piling work.
