Non-destructive excavation for utility, pipeline, and infrastructure projects.
Pressurized water breaks up the soil while a powerful vacuum transfers the slurry into a debris tank. There is no bucket, no blade, and no mechanical contact with buried infrastructure. This eliminates accidental utility strikes, service interruptions, and costly repairs.
We run a fleet of late-model vacuum excavation trucks built for warm and cold weather. Our units can dig from up to 600 feet away, which makes them ideal for congested sites, road crossings, and areas where you can't get heavy equipment in.
We coordinate with 811 and utility locators to identify everything buried in the dig zone before we start.
Pressurized water loosens the soil through a handheld wand. The vacuum hose pulls the slurry into the debris tank as we go.
Utilities are safely exposed and visually confirmed. We document the excavation and either backfill on site or haul to an approved facility.
Hydrovac is the standard non-destructive method across oil and gas, municipal, telecom, and construction sectors for projects involving buried infrastructure.
Every year, thousands of underground utility strikes cause injuries, outages, and millions in repair costs. Hydrovac eliminates the risk at the source.
Every hydrovac project includes utility coordination as a standard part of our process. We work with 811 and use electromagnetic and GPR locating to verify positions before excavation begins.
