Hercules Site Services PLC (AIM:HERC) said it has taken delivery of 10 new suction excavators, expanding its fleet to 30 vehicles or one of the largest in the UK.
The new vehicles include two Triple Fan Excavators that are more powerful and dig deeper than other suction excavators, said the construction specialist.
Brusk Korkmaz, Hercules’ chief executive, added: "Suction excavators provide a more efficient and safer way of removing debris for digging teams.
"We took the decision to expand our fleet on the back of the high levels of demand we were experiencing, which saw us achieve an average utilisation rate of circa 85%.
“This continued demand for our services can be partly attributed to the significant industry acclaim we have received for our involvement in implementing the newly developed 'Zero-Trim' piles method, which uses a vacuum excavator to suck out excess concrete from a concrete pile while still wet.”
