Hydro-Vac

The process of Hydro Excavation, the only non-destructive method of digging, utilizes pressurized water and a vacuum system to quickly and safely expose underground infrastructure.

During the Hydro Vac process, pressurized water is injected into the ground through a handheld wand. As the soil cover is liquefied, the resulting slurry is simultaneously extracted by a powerful vacuum and stored collection tank.

Benefits of Hydro Excavation

  • Safe removal of earth by water, air and vacuum pressure.
  • Fast removal minimizing disruption to area.
  • Direct path to utility excavated and workers kept above ground.
  • Non destructive to landscape and less time to restore to original condition.
