Hydro Excavation
Groundbreaking Technology
Hydro-excavation, also known as hydrovac or water excavation, is a non-destructive digging method that utilizes pressurized water and a powerful vacuum system to remove soil and debris. The process involves injecting water into the ground to break up the soil and create a slurry. The resulting slurry is then vacuumed up into the truck’s debris tank, effectively and efficiently clearing the way for utilities installation, repairs, or other underground construction activities.
