The Benefits of Hydro Excavation

June 14, 2021

Hydro excavation, or hydrovac excavation, is a precise and safe way to excavate using pressurized water in combination with a high power truck mounted vacuum for removal. Areas in which hydro excavation can be used include, but are not limited to: construction, utility locating, spill response, oil and gas, and telecommunications.

There are several key benefits of hydro excavation that make it a superior alternative to traditional digging methods.

 

1. Improved Safety on the Job Site

An important improvement that coincided with the use of hydrovac trucks is the improvement in safety. Because hydro excavation is non-mechanical, it minimizes the chance of utility damage, and the risk of worker injury.

 

2. Increased Precision and Reduced Damage

Beyond safer work conditions, hydro excavation also comes with cost-saving benefits. The job is able to be completed in less time, with less of a workforce. Due to the precision of hydro excavation, it also provides less worry when it comes to potential damage.

 

3. Small Footprint, Precision Digs

Hydrovac offers the unique ability to dig holes a few inches in diameter to full access pits, all while containing and removing the spoils. This process eliminates the large footprint needed for mechanical excavation equipment and the resulting spoil piles that occur with over excavation using traditional digging methods The result is a clean and highly efficient job site when it matters most.
