Hydro Excavation Perfect Option for Small or Sensitive Work Area

Many of our contractor and property manager clients require hydro vac service to expose underground assets in very confined spaces. They have moved away from mechanical digging options like backhoes, because there is no place to put the dirt that is removed from excavation.  Bigger projects often end up with large piles of dirt blocking the road or hindering the construction area. Edenflo’s hydro excavation equipment pulls the dirt straight into a storage tank, which not only speeds up the process but also limits the disruption to surrounding areas.  Edenflo also has one of the most diverse fleets of equipment that allows  daylighting work to be done in even the most challenging space.

Besides Being Less Expensive, Hydro Excavation is also Better for the Environment

Today, we are all concerned about the environment.  Lower mainland contractors and property managers are no different. It’s no wonder that most are moving to HydroVac Service rather than backhoe to expose underground assets. Hydro excavation is less invasive and more precise, making it less harmful to the environment. Because the footprint is smaller than a backhoe excavation, there is less risk of damaging the land and ecosystems near the project.  Hydro excavation uses high pressure water – rather than chemicals or other dangerous materials, which is an environmental plus.  When the job is done the scars are smaller than a mechanical dig – allowing the land to heal quicker.

Save Money Using Hydro Excavation instead of a Backhoe.

If you need to expose underground assets, dig a hole for fence posts, or other projects that you would usually associate as a backhoe project, you may want to save money and consider hydro excavation. In direct contrast to using a mechanical shovel such as a backhoe, hydro excavation uses high pressure water to break up challenging soils – including frozen terrain. The soil is mixed with water and is then removed with the high volume vacuum system of the Hydrovac truck, leaving the worksite free of excess material piled up nearby.

Not only is hydro excavation the safest method of locating and/ or exposing underground utilities, such as power cables, telecommunication lines, traffic and street lights, fiber optics, pipelines etc., it is also the most cost effectiveway to get at these assets. The process offers incredible flexibility and can perform a very narrow and deep excavation if required.

Daylighting or “Soft Digging” Preferred by Lower Mainland Contractors and Property Managers

Hydro excavation or sometimes referred to as daylighting or “pot holing” combines two very powerful forces to expose and remove dirt and debris.  It brings together high-pressurized water to disrupt debris and then sucks away the fallout with an industrial strength vacuum. The net result is an area devoid of all unwanted debris in a relatively brief period of time.

If you’re a building, plumbing or landscaping contractor, you may need hydro excavation for landscaping purposes or exposingsensitive utilities. In either scenario, hydro excavation is an especially beneficial method because it runs little risk of leaving any real damage behind. The process, unlike using a backhoe, is non-mechanic and also non-destructive.

Hydro excavation and flushing services are especially helpful for construction, as they save so much time, and money, compared with conventional forms of mechanical digging. Hydro excavation is the perfect solution for trenching and remote digging where fibre optic cable might need to be laid.

6 Hydrovac Excavation Applications 

The Experts at EdenFlo are well trained on a variety of applications for Hydrovac Excavation. If you are a contractor and looking to subcontract any of the following, give EdenFlo Pump Truck services a call. 
 
Potholing / Daylighting

If you need  to expose underground utilities, hydrovac excavation should be your preferred option. The process gains access without damaging any of the assets.

 Debris/ Soil Removal 

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

 Pole Setting 
 
If you have a need to dig a number of holes for fence posts or poles, hydrovac excavation is the best way to get this job done.  It’s fast and the remaining debris from the excavation is quickly removed by the EdenFlo experts.

What’s Safer to Expose Underground Assets?  Hydro Excavation or Backhoe?

Hydro Excavation is considered to be extremely safe, both to expose underground assets as well as for the safety of team members working on the job site. Hydrovacing uses pressurized water to break up the dirt that is packed around the underground structures. The soil mixes with the water and the “slurry” mix is sucked up by a vacuum and stored in the hydrovac truck for safe disposal at a later time.

Compare this to using a backhoe or other mechanized equipment and the risk of damage to assets increases dramatically.  Even the best backhoe operators know that their shovels can scrape and damage exposed pipes and conduit. Skilled hydrovac team members at EdenFlo can be very precise, directing high pressure water through a water-jet nozzle at exactly the right area to loosen soil and gently expose what you need to get at.

Hydro Excavation or Air Excavation…

There are 3 processes that can be used for daylighting, trenching or digging a hole for a pile or post. Contractors can either use a backhoe service, a hydrovac service or an air excavation service. Using hydrovac equipment to expose underground assets is generally assumed to be the best and most environmentally friendly method. Contractors would consider air excavation if the contractor wants the excavated soil and sediment to remain dry which may be better for back filling.
Air excavation will take longer than hydro excavation, and will only be used when the soil around the project is the right consistency and is not frozen. Hydrovacing is much more flexible and can be used in a variety of weather conditions and applications.
