SUCTION EXCAVATORS
RIVARD PUBLIC WORKS (PW) MACHINES
Public Works cover a wide range of activities, from installing networks to building roads, from railway lines to structures such as bridges, airports and so on.
Public Works is certainly the sector which has the largest ranges of utilities, such as suction excavators and vacuum excavators. Indeed, humans need support from machines and suction excavation utilities when constructing and maintaining structures on their unit.
RIVARD operates in two areas specifically, roads and utilities and earth-moving.
RIVARD wheel trenchers with mechanised installation enable Telecom, fibre, CCTV, gas, water and electricity (HVA/HVB) networks to be deployed quickly and easily on a suction excavation site.
RIVARD’s suction excavators, which were originally used to upgrade and survey buried networks on a public works site, have seen their applications expand significantly up to suction for attic spaces via the installation of posts for overhead networks.
All our PW equipment benefits from RIVARD’s safety, ergonomy and automation experience for your projects. All suction and vacuum excavation utilities can be serviced in our network and by our mobile technicians.
THE OPERATION OF A SUCTION EXCAVATOR
RIVARD has developed a high-performance suction excavator model. The EXVAC is a suction truck which enables quick and safe excavation via suction in high or low congestion areas such as underground networks or for public works use: urban areas, streets and pavements.
This site machine runs on the hydrodynamic vortex principle. The specific feature of this vacuum excavation utility is that it can tilt to the left during the tipping phase to empty a skip, making it very practical.
This type of public works (PW) utilities also has a host of applications in the industry and environment sectors.
THE COMPOSITION OF RIVARD SUCTION EXCAVATION UTILITIES
When used as a public works machine, the suction evacuation utility is mounted on a carrier chassis in “Construction” configuration with at least 500 hp in power to supply our powerful suction turbine. In our plant, we use MERCEDES or VOLVO carrier chassis. The equipment is composed of a technical platform which accommodates the suction system (an industrial turbine), an articulated excavation arm with suction nozzle and a skip tank with tilting to the left hand side. The equipment is remote controlled; depending on the options selected, the carrier may also be operated by remote using the same remote control (speed and direction). We propose different configurations, depending on the service that the companies need in terms of vacuum excavation.
OUR SUCTION EXCAVATION MODELS FOR EARTH-MOVING
The RIVARD range features 3 models of excavator based on 7 m³ or 10,5 m³ tank capacities and 26 to 32T carrier tonnages, as well as on suction power and rate. Once the capacity is defined, we propose different configurations and options to suit our customers’ earth-moving work applications on each site. We are at our customers’ disposal to define their specifications and to provide the applications they need to carry out. Our commercial and technical teams will propose the definitions that are best suited to their needs.
