How do Hydro Excavation Trucks Work?

Hydro excavation trucks use high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum to liquefy and disintegrate the soil/debris and immediately remove it by vacuuming it into the holding tank of the unit.

How is Hydro Excavation Better than Digging?

  • There are no sharp edges to damage underground pipes, cables, or lines.

  • There is minimal disturbance of the surrounding surface area.

  • The trucks can work in areas unreachable by backhoes and trenchers.

What is Hydro Excavation Ideal For?

  • Creating trenches for installing pipelines, cables, and other in-ground utilities.

  • With diesel-fired water heaters, pressurized hot water can easily cut through frozen ground, oil, and more.

  • Safely locating and exposing underground utilities.

  • Digging precise holes for pilings, posts, footers, and other holes quickly and safely.

  • Minimizing the environmental impact on excavation sites in urban job sites, turfed areas, and hard-to-reach places.

  • Removing debris from an excavation site
