Hydro Excavation Services
Hydro Excavation is the process of removing soil from an area with pressurized water and a vacuum. In other words a non-destructive method that successfully remove soil or debris with an industrial strength vacuum truck. This works great to safely dig and locate underground utilities. Including piping systems, fiber optics, telephone lines and cables. These sensitive lines can easily be damaged with traditional digging methods.
There are several uses for hydro excavation. Some of these include debris removal, digging in cold weather, digging in remote locations, and slot trenching.
-
Debris Removal - In nature, soil can stop a variety of structures from working properly. To successfully get rid of debris and dirt, hydro-excavation is used in a process known as debris removal. Using hydro excavation to get rid of unwanted debris is advantageous because it is relatively non-destructive.
-
Digging in areas of existing underground utilities – Oftentimes, hydro-excavation needs to be done in a tight area where water lines, cable lines, and other utility lines are present. Since hydro-excavation is non-destructive, it is often used when damage to these lines would be expensive and inconvenient for residents.
-
Slot Trenching – This process involves digging in places where new cable lines and pipes will eventually go. One reason hydro excavation is used to do this as opposed to other traditional digging methods is because it can be done in cold weather and is extremely efficient, saving time and money.

What is Hydro Excavation?
What is Hydro excavation? Hydro excavation is a method that uses high-powered vacuuming and pressurized water to remove earth surrounding pipes, cables, or whatever you are trying to reach underground. The removed soil is returned to its place after the job is done, restoring the ground to its previous state.
Why use a Hydro Excavation Contractor?
Hiring a hydro excavation contractor is a much better alternative to traditional digging methods. By choosing hydro-excavation, you will save money and have your job completed more quickly. Choose hydro-excavation if you want a digging method that is:
-
Fast- Hydro excavation is much faster than traditional digging methods. The use of pressurized water and vacuuming combine to remove earth quickly and expose underground pipes long before digging would. If you have deadlines to meet or want your project finished quickly, hydro-excavation is the choice for you.
-
Safe- Exposing underground utilities can be a risky business; hydro-excavation takes the risk out of it. Since water is removing the dirt, there is no danger of accidentally hitting a pipe. This is safer for the workers, the pipes, and the civilians who use the utilities.
-
Low-Cost- Since hydro excavation is so much faster than other methods, it ends up saving you money because you are paying for less work and fewer days on the job than you would with conventional digging.
-
Effective- Hydro excavation can be used even where regular digging can’t—in frozen ground or difficult soil—because the water works to soften the dirt which can then be removed easily.
Benefits of Hydro Excavation
Hydro excavation brings dozens of benefits to the industrial excavation world. It's the most preferred method of digging because of its low cost, efficient and accurate results.
The benefits of this process are :
-
Less invasive in nature when compared to other traditional methods of excavating.
-
Since it does not involve any chemicals, this process is environmentally friendly.
-
Higher precision, leading to lesser disposal of materials and accordingly less restoration.
-
Uses less manpower when compared to traditional digging methods.
-
Due to the debris storage tank, dirt is not allowed to gather on the road, keeping the surrounding area clean. Further, it leads to minimal disruption in traffic and inconvenience to public in terms of accidental damages to power or electrical lines.
In general, hydro excavation is a method that creates a better service for the customer and that makes life easier for the contractors, the customers and the laborers.

Hydro excavation can be used for debris removal, digging in difficult areas, potholing, day lighting, and pipe and sewer rehabilitation.
One thing that stands out the most to clients who prefer hydro excavation is that it does not require digging which means, the surrounding soil is not disturbed. This eliminates the additional time and team required.
What is a hydrovac used for?
Hydrovac is used in the industrial and residential excavation world over traditional digging methods because its more efficient and accurate. Hydrovac is used for underground utility location and installation, to get rid of debris and dirt and slot trenching among other things.
Hydrovac can also be used commercially to clean up spills and other materials. While residential, it can be used to clean grease traps and other material from construction sites. Its fast, safe, low cost and effective.

Safety and Best Practices for Hydrovac Equipment
While hydrovac equipment is a low-impact trenching method, as with any construction activity, this operation poses some inherent health and safety risks. Engineering and construction teams should therefore use appropriate equipment and develop heath, safety, and environmental (HSE) plans well in advance of any trenching. It is crucial that teams work together to classify potential hydrovac risks and establish practical measures to mitigate them.
By taking the time to identify the risks and hazards of a project, construction teams can minimize the occurrence of events that can lead to work-related injuries and even fatalities. Listed below are some of the best safety practices that should be implemented on a typical hydrovac job :
Locate Underground Utilities :
Hydrovac is a trenching construction activity, therefore, there is a possibility of accidentally striking or damaging existing underground utilities. Some buried utilities present little to no safety risk to construction personnel, however depending on the the job site's location, underground infrastructure may consist of potentially dangerous utilities. Damage to these types of lines can lead to electrocution, fires, and explosions, which can result in worker injury or death.
This is why hydrovac contractors are required to identify the location of all buried existing utilities prior to commencement of work. With the use of video inspection technology we here at Cloud 9 Services are able to use a combination of CCTV camera inspection and GPS data to locate all underground utilities in the area and mark them with a flag or paint.
Ensure that Workers are Trained :
Hydrovac excavation provides a method to dig through soil in a safer way, due to there being no heavy equipment and no destruction to properties or underground utilities. This also keeps workers safer while on the job because there are less risk factors involved. However, it is still very important to make sure all your technicians are up-to-date on all their training and know the proper safety guidelines to follow to make sure the job goes smoothly.
