There have been many horror stories that most contractors can tell you about the diggings they have done in different projects that they have handled. Usually, they use heavy equipment and machines like bobcats, backhoes, trenchers and diggers. This is what they call mechanical digging. The reason for having horror stories is that these heavy equipment and machines have caused many problems that can escalate into even bigger problems. Some examples of these incidents that cause problems are when a gas pipes gets cut by a trencher. This can cause a gas explosion or leakage. A water pipe can get damaged causing flooding in the area damaging other parts of the property. A power line can get cut which will result to a power outage or even electrocute a worker. These will not only add to the expenses but can also be a cause of delay.
Nowadays, contractors should know that they actually have an alternative method that is safer and less risky. This is called non-destructive digging or NDD. It is precisely called non-destructive digging because it gets the digging job done without the destruction and problems that can be encountered with the use of mechanical digging. This alternative is done using air or water in breaking the ground. These are released in high powered jets to make them strong enough to dig into the hard ground and loosen the soil but still be gentle on any of the buried assets and utilities that they may get in contact with.
Aside from being safe and less risky, contractors will see even more benefits with the use of non- destructive digging. For one, they will have the peace of mind that the job gets done properly, quickly and precisely. The process in non-destructive digging is easier to control as compared to machines. Added to that, the costs are also lower not only because of the fact that it only needs one excavator truck but also because fewer workers are needed in the operations.
In using non-destructive digging, contractors are assured that they can easily do the digging without doing damage to any of the surrounding areas. This method can also be used in roadside projects without having to disrupt traffic or get additional permit for bringing in more heavy equipment.
Another difference that contractors will see is that they can do the job without cutting the roots of trees. This can also be used in confined or tight spaces so they will not have problems of how to fit various machines in a small area.
It is indeed a good idea for contractors to try using any of the non-destructive digging methods so that they themselves can see the difference. They can find out for themselves that this works just as well as mechanical digging and see the advantages and enjoy the benefits at the same time. This will make them see why they should start switching to non-destructive digging and improve the quality of the work that they can do.
