Utility Excavation

Hydro-Con’s Utility Excavation service delivers safe, non-destructive digging for installation, repair, or replacement of underground utilities—water, sewer, gas, electrical, and more—using precision hydro-excavation and trenching techniques to minimize risk and disruption on every project. hcexcavation.com

Advanced Hydro-Excavation Technology

We deploy high-pressure water jets combined with powerful vacuum suction to remove soil cleanly around existing utilities. This “soft dig” approach eliminates damage to lines and speeds up potholing, trenching, and daylighting tasks.

Precision Trenching & Digging

Our hydrovac units can excavate narrow trenches (as little as 4″ wide) to depths exceeding 5′. Multi-hose configurations and agitation systems let us tackle varied soil conditions—from soft fill to compact clay—while maintaining exact trench dimensions.

Safety & Compliance

All operators are HAZWOPER-certified and adhere to OSHA regulations. We conduct thorough pre-excavation utility locating (using GPR and electronic locators), install trench shoring as needed, and manage surface runoff to protect surrounding areas.

Custom Applications

  • Water & Sewer Lines: Exposure, replacement, and backfill for potable and sanitary pipelines.

  • Gas & Electrical: Non-intrusive potholing around live feeders and service lines.

  • Fiber Optics & Telecom: Accurate daylighting for new installations or repairs.

Rapid Response & Coverage

With strategic yards in Lorena and Midland, TX, our crews mobilize 24/7 for emergency digs or planned projects. GPS tracking keeps you informed on arrival times and job progress.
