Hydro
Excavation
Hydro excavation is a non-destructive excavation method, which uses pressurized water and a vacuum system to dig. This allows us to make a visual observation of existing underground utilities so that they can be avoided when excavating. Hydro excavation enhances the operation of equipment such as augers, excavators, horizontal directional drilling rigs, etc.
​
Highly pressurized water is used at the desired excavation point. With hydro excavating we use our specialized hydro excavating vehicles. The result is a water/soil mixture that is immediately vacuumed up into our high capacity tank. Our technicians repeat this process until we achieve the required width and depth.

How many times have unexpected underground utilities or private lines caused delays during the construction phase of a project? Conventional methods of digging holes require shovels, bobcats, backhoes, and bulldozers. All of these risk damage to hidden services such as sewage pipes, optic and electric cables, water mains, and gas pipes. Our hydro excavation method virtually eliminates the risk of damaging existing underground foundations such as expensive fiber optic cables, electric cables, water pipes, sanitary pipes and dangerous gas lines. Our technicians can perform sage, non-destructive digging for contractors, cities, utility corporations and industrial facilities.
