AirSpade

The Air-Spade® is a non-destructive excavation tool that utilizes compressed air forced though a specialised nozzle to cut soil or gravel.

The jet of supersonic air can be used to excavate soil around tree roots or underground services. The Air-spade will only affect porous surfaces leaving pipes, tree roots, or other items undamaged. This enables exploratory digging for a variety of purposes in environments where excavations would normally be impossible via conventional methods other than hand digging.

The Air-spade can also be used for:

• Soil decompaction as part of an overall tree health care management program.
• Root collar excavation
• Trenching
• Root pruning
• Root structure analysis
• Unearthing underground utilities
