Because Chicago, Illinois supports municipal sewer & water, utility construction, and commercial construction, renting lets crews match equipment to the job instead of carrying an idle asset.
Chicago runs one of the oldest and largest combined sewer systems in the country, and its dense downtown, CTA rail corridors, and constant utility relocation work create steady demand for hydrovac daylighting around congested buried infrastructure. Deep-tunnel (TARP) and water-main replacement programs add ongoing sewer-cleaning and vacuum-excavation needs.
About renting an air vacuum truck
An air vacuum truck is a vacuum excavator that uses a high-pressure air lance to break up soil instead of pressurized water, then a high-CFM vacuum to lift the loosened dry material into a debris tank. Because the spoil stays dry, it can often be reused as backfill, and there is no slurry to freeze or haul off wet.
- Debris capacity
- 3-15 cubic yards
- Vacuum power
- 1,000-5,000+ CFM (PD blower)
- Boom reach
- 15-25+ feet, 6-8 inch diameter
- Blower type
- Positive-displacement (PD)
Common jobs for an air vacuum truck in Chicago
Fiber-optic and telecom potholing
Expose fiber-optic and telecom conduits precisely without the risk of high-pressure water intrusion into duct banks or splice enclosures.
Cold-weather and winter excavation
Keep excavating through freezing temperatures when water-based slurry would freeze in the tank, hoses, and hole, making air excavation a go-to method in northern climates.
Reusable backfill projects
Dig where the removed soil needs to go back in the hole, since dry spoil can often be vacuumed and returned as compactable backfill instead of being hauled to disposal.
Utility daylighting near buried lines
Safely locate and expose gas, electric, and communications lines to confirm depth and position before boring, trenching, or excavation.
