- Close proximity excavation
- Exposure of unmarked utilities
- Excavation for building footings
- Material removed from confined spaces
Locate, Expose and Protect with Hydro Excavation
During the Hydro Excavation process, high pressure water and air is used to break up and cut through soil, rocks, clay, ice, gravel and other earth material. At the same time, a high-flow vacuum system removes the material from the excavation area. This non destructive method of excavation is able to safely and efficiently uncover utilities such as pipelines, water mains, fiber optic lines, cables and other dangerous utilities. The nature of this unique method of excavation virtually avoids all damage that can occur with traditional digging methods.
