FAQ
What is hydrovac excavation and how does it work?
Hydrovac excavation uses pressurised water to break up soil, which is then removed using a powerful vacuum system. This process allows underground services to be exposed without physical digging. The method offers greater precision and control than mechanical excavation. It is commonly used where accuracy and asset protection are priorities.
When is hydrovac excavation preferred over traditional digging methods?
Hydrovac is often preferred when working near existing pipes, cables or sensitive infrastructure. It reduces the risk of accidental damage that can occur with mechanical equipment. This method is also useful in congested sites or areas with limited access. Hydrovac can help improve safety while minimising site disruption.
What types of projects typically use hydrovac services?
Hydrovac excavation is commonly used for service location, potholing, trenching support and maintenance work. It is suitable for plumbing, drainage and construction projects that require careful excavation. The method can also be used in commercial and infrastructure environments. Its flexibility makes it a reliable option for many excavation needs.
