Why Airvac?
The Benefits of Vacuum Sewer Systems
Vacuum sewer systems are an ideal candidate in any community.
Vacuum sewer systems are particularly attractive in environmentally sensitive areas or where difficult subsurface conditions exist - such as a high groundwater table, acid sulfate soils, unstable soils, rock, and restricted construction conditions.
Vacuum sewer systems are ideal for septic to sewer conversions as well as private developments.
Environmentally friendly, efficient, easy to maintain, easy to install and typically less expensive than other collection systems.
Proven technology with a long history of success and reliability. Running in over 30 states and 38 countries around the world.
Operators never come in contact with raw sewage. Confined spaces are not an issue.
Multiple lift stations can be replaced. It is not uncommon for one vacuum station to replace 6-8 gravity lift stations.
Fast and simple excavation creates shallower trenches and uses smaller excavation equipment. Roads can remain fully or partially opened, creating far less disruption to your community.
Only one source of power is required at the vacuum station. A standby generator at the vacuum station provides uninterrupted service during power outages. No power is required at the house/valve pit.
Environmentally friendly. The system is entirely closed, prohibiting infiltration and inflow of groundwater, which protects waterways from exfiltrating wastewater. This also results in a reduced load on the treatment plant.
Cost overruns are avoided due to vacuum’s vertical and horizontal routing flexibility. This allows unforeseen underground utility conflicts to easily be avoided.
Low operation and maintenance costs.
Blockages are almost nonexistent.
