What Is Hydro Excavation?
Hydro excavation, also known as non destructive digging or hydrovac for short , is the ideal solution for excavation work where delicacy and precision are required. Underground areas are becoming increasingly crowded with utilities these days, and maps of utilities are not always accurate. With hydro excavation, dirt is broken down using water pressure – the debris is then simply vacuumed away, leaving the exposed area tidy and visible.
What Are The Benefits Of It?
Unlike a traditional digger, this method avoids the risk of damaging any gas pipes, power lines, fibre cables or other hazardous utilities that it comes into contact with. Hydro excavation will also avoid damage to tree roots. Once removed, the debris is stored in the truck’s tank and taken away for appropriate disposal. This method also allows for smaller hole sizes, cutting down on the time needed for excavation and refilling.
What Is Hydro Excavation Used For?
Our hydro excavation service is used for a wide range of projects – some of these include:
- Locating and repairing underground utilities of all kinds
- Digging below existing street surfaces with minimum damage
- Trenching without damaging tree root systems
- Street lamp pole and telephone pole base installation
- Internal excavation of otherwise hard-to-reach area
Hydro excavation is a safe and effective solution for various other projects as well – we can advise on a case by case basis.
