The Vacuum Excavation Process

Hydro excavation, or soft digging, safely breaks up the ground and simultaneously vacuums the debris into the on-board tank to expose buried utility lines, providing a non-destructive excavation.

The popular alternative to mechanical excavation, hydro excavation technology provides an increase in:  

  • Safety. High-pressure water can cut through the toughest of land conditions, posing minimal risk to wires, pipes, and other critical structures, while avoiding ground or water pollution. In addition, using this technology may lead to reduced insurance costs. 
  • Accuracy. Easy, precise targeting with the ability to work in tight spaces with minimal disruption to the environment. This added precision results in less repairs and re-work. 
  • Efficiency. Increased accuracy along with significant risk reduction leads to less time onsite, and fewer surprise job cost increases. The process of removing soil into a debris tank, while simultaneously digging, aids those efforts.
