What is Hydro Excavation?
Hydro excavation is a modern, non-destructive digging method that uses pressurized water and a high-powered vacuum system to safely and precisely remove soil.
Here's How it Works
- High-pressure water is directed into the ground, breaking up the soil into a slurry.
- A powerful vacuum then sucks up the slurry into a debris tank, leaving the underground utilities or structures safely exposed.
Unlike traditional digging methods that rely on heavy machinery or hand tools (which can easily strike and damage buried utilities), hydro excavation offers surgical precision. It’s commonly used for safely exposing electrical lines, water pipes, fiber optics, gas lines, and other underground infrastructure without risk of damage.
Key Benefits of Hydro Excavation
- Minimizes Risk: Greatly reduces the chance of hitting or damaging underground utilities.
- Clean and Accurate: Only removes the material needed, keeping the surrounding area intact.
- Safer for Workers: Less physical strain and less risk of accidents compared to mechanical digging.
- Environmentally Friendly: Causes less disruption to soil structure and surrounding landscapes.
