Hydrovac Services

Hydrovac Vacuum Excavation services for safe, precise, and non-destructive digging around utilities and in sensitive sites.

Our hydrovac equipment uses high-pressure water to liquefy soil and a powerful vacuum system to remove slurry, providing fast excavation with minimal risk to buried infrastructure.

Hydrovac Excavation: Fast, Precise, Non-Destructive Digging

    • Utility safety: Excavation minimizes risk of damaging underground gas, electric, water, and communications lines.

    • Precision: Targeted digging allows for accurate potholing, exposing utilities to verify depth and orientation.

    • Speed and efficiency: Faster than hand digging and many mechanical methods, reducing project timelines.

    • Reduced site restoration: Less surface disturbance than mechanical excavation, decreasing restoration work and cost.

    • Versatility: Suitable for day- or nighttime work, in confined areas, around structures, and in varying soil types including clay, sand, and silt.

    • Potholing and daylighting to locate and verify underground utilities

    • Trenching for conduit, vaults, or service installs

    • Slot cuts and depth checks for directional boring support

    • Excavation in frozen ground or around shallow utilities

    • Cleanup and removal of slurry and debris from work zones

    • Truck-mounted hydrovac units with high-pressure water and high-capacity vacuum tanks

    • Various nozzle sizes and water pressures to match soil conditions and project needs

    • Onboard slurry containment and disposal procedures to meet environmental and regulatory requirements

    • Trained operators certified in safe excavation practices and utility strike avoidance

    • Pre-excavation utility locate coordination with One Call/locating services

    • Use of industry best practices and adherence to local regulations and OSHA guidelines

    • Continuous monitoring during excavation to prevent utility strikes and ensure public and crew safety

    • Proper handling and disposal of slurry and contaminated materials per applicable environmental standards

    • Flexible scheduling for planned projects and emergency response

    • Coordination with project managers, utility companies, and site stakeholders

    • Documentation and reporting for as-built verification and regulatory records
