How Does Hydro Excavation Work?
Hydro excavation, also known as soft digging, is the process of removing layers of the soil with pressurized water instead of traditional mechanical equipment. The water loosens the soil of the targeted surface while the vacuum is used to suck up the soil and other debris, allowing the operators to dig and create a deep hole without leaving any permanent damage to the surrounding area. This technique is popularly used to uncover existing utility lines and pipe systems.
Hydro Excavation vs Traditional Methods
Unlike traditional excavation methods, hydro excavation or soft-digging uses high-pressure water and a truck-mounted vacuum to locate underground utilities, including gas and water lines, power cables, telephone cables, and other utility infrastructures. In the cold climate, hydro-vac service is particularly beneficial due to its ability to quickly cut through frozen ground and frost, reducing the chance of damage and costly repairs of mechanical excavating equipment.
Additionally, hydro excavation can be done in critical or hard to reach areas with minimal or no destruction to the surrounding environment, wherein traditional methods can damage trees and landscaping. We are happy to assist you, give us a call to let us know about your requirements.
Why Should You Choose Hydro-Vac Services?
Hydrovac excavation is a popular alternative to traditional excavation methods. Here are some advantages:
- Safe and minimally invasive: Hydrovac excavation is the most minimally invasive and safe technique. It does not break or tear down into underground structures while uncovering utilities. Hydrovac excavation also poses a minimum risk to passersby, unlike mechanical excavation, which requires the site to be shut off until the work is completed.
- Higher precision: Hydrovac excavation is performed through a handheld pressurized wand. It allows the professionals to maneuver around tight quarters quickly, efficiently, and effectively. Resulting in lesser dumping of materials and subsequently less spending on restoration.
- Cold Weather: Even during the winter months, it can penetrate through frozen grounds easily. It requires less manpower as compared to conventional methods.
- Clean and Organized: Since debris is stored in container, disposed materials are not left to gather on the road. This avoids traffic disruption and any inconvenience to the public.
