About from company website

Established in 2024 as part of the LCS Civils group, LCS Vac was created to deliver specialist vacuum excavation services across the North West of England. Our mission is to provide a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional excavation methods, with a strong focus on quality, safety, and productivity. We operate state-of-the-art MTS DINO8 Vacuum Excavators, equipped with advanced features including a long-reach hose boom (5-10m), a FORS Gold-certified camera system, and an 8m³ capacity container with lid-ensuring optimal performance on-site.

Led by directors Chris Williscroft and Leon Shaw, LCS Vac brings over 25 years of combined experience in the utilities and civil engineering sectors. Every machine is deployed with a highly skilled, experienced team committed to delivering consistent, high-output excavation while maintaining the highest standards of safety and professionalism. Our services include Safe Dig with vacuum excavation, a precise, non-destructive method of exposing underground utilities using high-powered suction and pressurized air or water.

We also offer utility locating and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scanning services, providing a highly accurate and non-destructive method for locating and confirming underground utilities. Vacuum excavation surveying is a non-invasive method of locating and verifying underground utilities with high accuracy, using suction and pressurized air or water to safely expose assets while minimizing surface disruption.

LCS Vac deployed an MTS DINO8 Vacuum Excavator to support Galliford Try on a series of civil works in and around the city centre. The project involved the non-invasive excavation of multiple areas that were inaccessible to conventional mechanical excavators. By utilising vacuum excavation, LCS Vac enhanced on-site productivity and operational efficiency, while delivering a safer and more cost-effective solution for the client.

LCS Vac utilised an MTS DINO8 vacuum excavator to carry out safe excavation works in support of civil infrastructure upgrades with Galliford Try. The project required controlled, non-invasive excavation in areas with dense underground utilities and limited access-conditions unsuitable for standard digging equipment. Vacuum excavation enabled LCS Vac to minimise the risk of damaging buried services, enhance site safety, and keep the works on schedule, offering a precise and environmentally conscious alternative to traditional excavation methods.
