Hydro-excavation is an alternative to traditional excavation equipment. Particularly, it involves a “non-mechanical” safe way of digging around utilities. Given that, the process enables us to continue to work in areas where utilities are close together or not clearly marked.
Today, underground utility infrastructures are becoming increasingly congested. As a result, they have adapted to meet greater demands. Subsequently, this has led to increasing safety and financial concerns when there is a need to locate and expose utilities. The presence of more utilities means a greater chance of damaging or hitting them when doing a digging project. Locating utilities is a must for any project. This prevents unnecessary damages to utilities or emergencies.
Hydro-excavation uses non-destructive water technology. Pressurized water creates sludge that is then vacuumed into a tanker. The process reveals deeper layers of the ground below as it is carried out. It allows us to quickly, safely, and economically excavate in areas not accessible to conventional digging equipment. It is possible even where pressure gas lines and pipelines are present.
Major gas companies, consultants, industrial facilities, and contractors depend on our speed, safety, and know-how for everything from potholing, pilot holes, and slot trenching to major excavations. Contact us about your project for more information.
