Hydro Excavation

Hydro excavation is a non-destructive, non-mechanical digging process that uses pressurized water along with an industrial-strength vacuum to excavate soil from an area. The pressurized water breaks up the dirt, turning it into a slurry that the vacuum then removes and deposits into a debris tank. The debris tanks are mounted on the hydrovac trucks, making transportation of equipment and excavated soil both to and from the dig site simple and efficient.

NON-Destructive Excavation

using Hydro Excavation to Daylight Utilities

Hydro excavation makes use of water to soften and break up the soil that is being removed. This lessens the risk of damage to the buried utilities that sometimes happens when a manual excavation method is used. Using this method, the type, depth, and location of the utility is established accurately.

This method allows for clean, speedy and complete removal of the area that needs to be dug up. It requires less restoration, less backfill, less labor force and less negative environmental effects than typical digging processes. There will be no problem even when the ground is frozen. The heater that is installed in the hydro excavation equipment can remove even frozen soil efficiently.

using Hydro Excavation to Install Bollards

Hydro Excavation has many purposes outside of daylighting utilities. In this instance we installed 9 bollards as a barrier for a future pad mounted generator in an area that sees heavy vehicle traffic.
