What is Hydro Excavating?

Hydro excavating, also known as vacuum excavation, utilizes a high-pressure water jet to safely excavate soil. The loosened material is then simultaneously vacuumed into a debris tank. This method offers several advantages over traditional mechanical excavation techniques.

The Benefits of Hydro Excavating Services

  • Safety First: Hydro excavating minimizes the risk of hitting underground utilities, thanks to its pinpoint accuracy. This translates to a safer work environment for your crew and prevents costly damages.
  • Unmatched Precision: Unlike mechanical excavators that can cause unnecessary disruption, the hydro excavating services allows for targeted digging around sensitive infrastructure. This is ideal for delicate projects like potholing, exposing underground pipes and cables, and daylighting utilities.
  • Reduced Damage: The pressurized water gently loosens the soil, minimizing damage to surrounding structures and landscapes. This is particularly important in congested areas or when working near existing pipelines.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Hydro excavation uses significantly less water than traditional methods and doesn’t generate harmful emissions. The excavated spoils are vacuumed directly into a tank, preventing them from being scattered or contaminating the surrounding area.
  • Improved Efficiency: Hydro excavation is a fast and efficient process, often completing jobs quicker than traditional methods. The exposed area remains clean and ready for further work, eliminating the need for additional cleaning steps.
