Hydro Excavating Services
It involves the use of high-pressure water and vacuum systems to excavate and remove soil or other materials from an area. This method utilizes a hydro excavator truck equipped with a water tank, a high-pressure water jet, and a vacuum system to perform precise and non-destructive excavation.
Here’s an overview of hydro-excavating services:
- Pressurized Water Jet: Hydro excavation uses a high-pressure water jet to break up the soil or other materials in the targeted area. The water is sprayed at high pressure to loosen and turn the soil into a slurry, allowing for easy removal.
- Vacuum System: A powerful vacuum system is employed to extract the loosened soil, debris, or other materials from the excavation site. The vacuum system suctions the slurry into a debris tank located on the hydro excavator truck.
- Non-Destructive Excavation: Hydro excavating is considered a non-destructive excavation method as it minimizes the risk of damaging underground utilities, pipes, or cables. The controlled water pressure and vacuuming allow for precise excavation while avoiding potential damage.
- Utility Location and Exposure: Hydro excavating is particularly useful when working near sensitive underground utilities. Before excavation, utility lines are located and marked using specialized equipment. The hydro excavator is then used to carefully expose the utilities, reducing the risk of accidental damage during excavation.
- Safe and Efficient: Hydro excavating is known for its safety and efficiency. The method minimizes the risk of accidents, injuries, and property damage compared to traditional excavation techniques. The precision and control offered by hydro excavating allow for faster and more efficient excavation, reducing project timelines.
- Environmental Benefits: Hydro excavating is considered an environmentally friendly option as it generates less waste compared to traditional excavation methods. The vacuum system efficiently collects the excavated material, which can be properly disposed of or reused.
Hydro excavating services are commonly used in various applications, including:
- Exposing and repairing underground utilities.
- Digging trenches for utility installations.
- Slot trenching for cable or pipe laying.
- Potholing to locate and expose buried utilities.
- Cleaning out catch basins and drains.
By utilizing our hydro excavating services, you can benefit from the precision, safety, and efficiency of this method while minimizing the risks associated with traditional excavation techniques.
