Gas-particulate mixture is drawn from the outside of the vacuum excavator 10 into a first 100 and second chamber 200. The chamber 200 has an inlet 108 configured to receive the gas-particulate mixture; a filter 210, 220 configured to redirect the gas-particulate mixture and separate off some of the particulate from the mixture; and an exhaust 208, located below the inlet 108 in a vertical dimension, configured to exhaust the filtered gas-particulate mixture. The first chamber 100 includes a guide surface 106 facing an inlet 102 and angled relative to a vertical dimension and a horizontal dimension in order to cause more of the gas-particulate mixture to enter collector 104. The vacuum excavator 10 has a connector 40 configured to attach to construction equipment (e.g., an excavator, a loader, a digger etc.)
