Since 1991 Concept Engineering Group Inc. has been providing air-vacuum excavation tools and systems to safely uncover any type of buried object. Our tools and equipment use patented supersonic air-jets to dig and high flow, pneumatic transport to remove soil. Supersonic air jets are extremely effective at penetrating most types of soil, but are harmless to all types of non-porous buried objects including: tree roots; gas, water, or sewer pipes; electric or fiber optic cables; hazardous waste tanks, drums, boxes, cartons, or bottles; and unexploded ordnance such as bombs or landmines. Our pneumatic transfer system has many unique features that allow soil, which is not traditionally easily vacuumed material, to be handled efficiently and effectively.

Our equipment includes:

  • AIR-SPADE ®, the premier hand-held supersonic air-jet digging tool
  • AIR-VAC ®, air injector powered vacuums
  • SAFEX ®, complete air-vacuum excavation systems
  • Special Systems for the Electric Power Research Institute, Battelle Memorial Laboratory, Lockheed Martin Technologies Company, Kaiser-Hill Company LLC, Tyndall Air Force Base, and the US Army at Ft. Belvoir.

Our tools and systems meet a wide variety of customer needs including:

  • Arboriculture / Horticulture
  • Industrial / Utility
  • Environmental Remediation
  • Humanitarian Demining
  • Trench Rescue
  • Unexploded Ordnance
