If you need to expose underground utilities, hydrovac excavation should be your preferred option. The process gains access without damaging any of the assets.
You may have a project where there is a build up of debris and or soil. Hydro excavation can clean areas without affecting existing infrastructure. It can be used to clean catch basins and drainage structures.
Confined or Small Space
Downtown streets are sometimes narrow, creating challenges to excavate and expose conduit or pipes. Even residential backyards are challenging to get at. Hydrovac service can work hundreds of feet away, allowing the vacuum truck to park away from the congestion.
Slot Trenching
If you need trenches dug, Hydrovac excavation is the best to use as it distributes less soil than a backhoe.
Cold Weather Excavation
Although we don’t get there that often in the lower mainland, freezing conditions can cause excavation issues. Using hydrovac techniques, frozen soil is mixed with warm water and the “slurry” is vacuumed up by the vacuum truck. This is a very effective method to expose assets
