What is Hydro Excavation?

Hydro-excavation is a safe, non-destructive and cost-effective process that utilizes pressurized water to break up soil. The soil is then removed through an industrial strength vacuum into a debris tank. This process allows for safe and precise excavation, which requires less back-fill and restoration, less labor and less environmental impact than traditional digging methods.

Why Use Hydro Excavation?

When compared with conventional digging, hydro-excavation is faster. The ability to safely work around gas pipelines and drilling rigs is invaluable to industries such as petroleum and chemical. Utility and other companies utilize the precision of our equipment to open up the ground around buried cable, underground wiring and other sensitive areas.

PIPELINE EXCAVATION

Our pipeline excavation process virtually eliminates the risk of damaging the pipeline or any other subsurface pipelines or utilities, and we service pipeline remediation clients across the southern United States.

LINE LOCATING

The main purpose of line-locating is to safely and quickly locate known or unknown subsurface utilities and pipelines. Once initial potholing has reached the appropriate depth, the line-location process begins. Hydro-excavation of small cuts running horizontally to the utility at 12, 18 or 24 inch increments allows for proper line-locating.

Daylighting, also known as potholing, refers to the use of vacuum excavation to safely locate known utilities and pipelines. The most common use for daylighting is to verify the depth, size or type of a subsurface utility.

Implementation consists of digging a 12″ pothole before excavating straight down until reaching the known utility.
