wHAT IS hYRDO eXCAVATION?

Hydro excavation is the process of pressurised water being used to loosen the soil surrounding the underground utilities and pipes. This excess soil and debris is then removed from the working area and transferred to a vacuum truck in order for the debris to be easily removed from the working site to be utilised for other projects. Hydro excavation is considered the safest excavation method as it reduces the ultimate risk of injury to the operators as well as being more accurate to locate the utilities for replacement or maintenance.

  • Tree planting and remediation
  • A combination of water and vacuum to ‘pothole’ down onto underground services to verify the exact position of the service
  • A combination of water/vacuum to undertake larger excavations around underground assets
  • Excavate power and street light poles (trenches and pits)
