Hydro-excavation utilizes pressurized water to break-up soil and a high pressure vacuum tank to remove the debris. This innovative process provides a non-destructive means to safely locating utilities and less impact to the site.
Benefits of Hydro-Excavation
- Less site disturbance, and less invasive to existing underground utilities
- Can be used to verify the material, invert size and condition of utilities up to 30’ deep
- Precise excavation without shoring
- Remote digging (up to 200 feet away)
Applications of Hydro-Excavation
- Line locating (utility lines, etc.)
- Excavations around utilities that conventional equipment could damage
- Excavations in areas not accessible with conventional equipment
- Slot trenching
- Cleaning areas with heavy sludge or solids
- Tunneling under structures without removing them
