Hydrovac
Ideal for daylighting, this involves exposing underground utilities like cables and pipes. This method uses pressurized water to safely remove soil, allowing workers to see buried infrastructure without the risk of damage.
Slot Trenching

Slot Trenching

Our team creates narrow trenches for utility installation, such as gas lines or communication cables. This technique minimizes disruption to the surrounding area, making it a safer option for construction and utility projects.
Potholing

Potholing

We use hydrovac for potholing, which digs small test holes to locate underground utilities. It’s a fast, non-destructive way to confirm the location of buried lines before larger excavation begins.
Cold-Weather Digging

Cold-Weather Digging

Hydrovac is perfect for winter projects, as hot water can break through frozen soil. Unlike traditional digging methods, this allows construction and maintenance to continue even in cold conditions.
Debris Removal

Debris Removal

Our hydrovac trucks are used to remove debris from excavation sites. The vacuum suction quickly collects the slurry, leaving the area clean and ready for the next stage of work.

How Does A Hydrovac Work?

Hydrovac uses high-pressure water to break up soil, while a vacuum removes the debris. This method is ideal for exposing underground utilities safely without the risk of damaging pipelines, cables, or other buried infrastructure.

The process is non-destructive, allowing precise digging in areas that require minimal disturbance. It’s especially effective for cold climates and dense soils where traditional excavation methods might fail.
