Hydro Excavation
What is hydrovac?
As the name hints, hydrovac trucks are used to excavate using a vacuum (“vac”) and pressurized hot water (“hydro”). Hydrovacs are used to carefully remove earth, clay, soil, ice, gravel, or dirt from an area using a non-destructive process, meaning that all underground fixtures and infrastructure are left undamaged. Additionally, hydrovac trucks are safer and more efficient, environmentally-friendly, and precise than traditional digging methods such as a backhoe or large equipment.
Uses include:
- Potholing/daylighting
- Exposing utility crossings
- Utility locates
- Slot trenching
- Open trenching
- Pole casings
- Excavation and bore pits
- Spill cleanups
- Facility work
- Frac and rig cleans
- And more!
