What is Hydro Vac Excavation & How Does It Work?

Hydrovacing, also known as hydro excavation or hydrovac excavation, is a non-destructive excavation method that uses a hydro vacuum truck with high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum system to safely and efficiently excavate soil and other materials from the ground.This method helps find underground utilities like gas lines, electrical cables, and water pipes without causing any damage.

Hydrovac trucks are equipped with a water tank, a high-pressure water pump, and a large high CFM vacuum system. The water is injected into the ground using a wand or nozzle, which breaks up the soil and creates a slurry. The vacuum system then sucks up the slurry into a debris tank, so it can be safely transported and disposed of.

Our hydrovac trucks also have a hot water boiler on board, which allows for the use of high-pressure heated water. This is used for digging in frozen ground during winter, thawing frozen pipes, cleaning industrial sites, and more.

Who Uses Hydrovac Excavation?

Hydrovac excavation can be a preferred method of excavation for multiple reasons. It is quicker and more accurate than traditional digging: saving time and labor for excavation projects. It is also more environmentally friendly, as it produces less noise, dust, and disruption to the surrounding area.

Hydro excavation is commonly used in construction, industrial, and utility industries, as well as in municipal and residential projects. It is especially beneficial in areas with limited access or where other excavation methods may be risky or destructive.

Hydro Excavation is a Safe Way to Dig Near Critical Infrastructure

Hydrovac excavation is often used around critical infrastructure because it is safer and more precise than traditional digging methods. Critical infrastructure such as gas lines, water mains, and fiber optic cables are often located underground, and any accidental damage during excavation can result in costly repairs, service disruptions, or serious safety hazards.

Hydro vacuum excavation can also reduce the risk of injuries for workers and bystanders since it minimizes the need for heavy machinery and manual labor. It also helps to prevent the release of hazardous materials and contaminants that may be present in the soil, further enhancing safety.
