Suction Excavator Operator

Suction Excavator Operator

Every year, cables, pipes, and tree roots are frequently damaged during earthmoving operations using excavators. To safely excavate these underground structures and tree roots, suction excavators are used. This modern technology exposes underground infrastructure without causing damage. This technique is primarily used in locations where space is limited. The goal of this course is to train operators so they can work certified and in accordance with the correct requirements—and without causing damage.

The course is suitable for experienced vacuum truck operators and professional drivers subject to the Professional Competence Directive.
