Hydro Excavation Perfect Option for Small or Sensitive Work Area

Many of our contractor and property manager clients require hydro vac service to expose underground assets in very confined spaces. They have moved away from mechanical digging options like backhoes, because there is no place to put the dirt that is removed from excavation.  Bigger projects often end up with large piles of dirt blocking the road or hindering the construction area. Edenflo’s hydro excavation equipment pulls the dirt straight into a storage tank, which not only speeds up the process but also limits the disruption to surrounding areas.  Edenflo also has one of the most diverse fleets of equipment that allows  daylighting work to be done in even the most challenging space.

Besides Being Less Expensive, Hydro Excavation is also Better for the Environment

Today, we are all concerned about the environment.  Lower mainland contractors and property managers are no different. It’s no wonder that most are moving to HydroVac Service rather than backhoe to expose underground assets. Hydro excavation is less invasive and more precise, making it less harmful to the environment. Because the footprint is smaller than a backhoe excavation, there is less risk of damaging the land and ecosystems near the project.  Hydro excavation uses high pressure water – rather than chemicals or other dangerous materials, which is an environmental plus.  When the job is done the scars are smaller than a mechanical dig – allowing the land to heal quicker.

Save Money Using Hydro Excavation instead of a Backhoe.

If you need to expose underground assets, dig a hole for fence posts, or other projects that you would usually associate as a backhoe project, you may want to save money and consider hydro excavation. In direct contrast to using a mechanical shovel such as a backhoe, hydro excavation uses high pressure water to break up challenging soils – including frozen terrain. The soil is mixed with water and is then removed with the high volume vacuum system of the Hydrovac truck, leaving the worksite free of excess material piled up nearby.

Not only is hydro excavation the safest method of locating and/ or exposing underground utilities, such as power cables, telecommunication lines, traffic and street lights, fiber optics, pipelines etc., it is also the most cost effectiveway to get at these assets. The process offers incredible flexibility and can perform a very narrow and deep excavation if required.
