Because Portland, Oregon supports utility construction, municipal combined sewer, and seismic resilience work, renting lets crews match equipment to the job instead of carrying an idle asset.

Portland's Big Pipe combined-sewer legacy and ongoing pipe rehabilitation keep municipal vacuum and hydrovac crews busy across the metro. Seismic-resilience upgrades to water and gas systems ahead of a Cascadia event drive daylighting to expose critical buried infrastructure.

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 Portland

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.
