What is Hydro Excavation?
Hydro excavation (also known as vacuum excavation) is a digging technique that uses high pressure water and a powerful vacuum to break up and remove soil. This method is great for use in built up areas as it minimises the risk of damaging underground utilities, pipes, and other infrastructure, making it a safe alternative to traditional excavation.
Non-destructive excavation that protects underground assets
Precision digging in restricted or complex environments
Minimised environmental impact through controlled water use
Faster project turnaround with reduced risk of delays or damage
What are the benefits of Hydro Excavation?
In any urban area there is existing underground infrastructure, including gas lines, telecommunications cables, water mains, and sewer systems. Traditional digging methods can damage & disrupt these services, leading to costly repairs and extend the project’s timeline. Hydro excavation is a great excavation method for many projects due to its ability to work around those services.
Utility Location and Exposure
Avoid the risk of damaging underground utilities. Hydro excavation allows for non-invasive identification and exposure of underground pipes, cables, and other assets, making it the safest option when working in an area with existing infrastructure.
- Gas lines
- Water mains
- Sewer systems
- Electrical cables
- Telecommunication lines
