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. An air conveyance or vacuum is then used to transfer the soil or debris to a vacuum truck. This allows for a non-destructive and more accurate way to excavate soil and locate underground utilities. 

The popularity of hydro excavation today started with oil and gas industries in Canada. The Canadian contractors were able to see the efficiency of hydro excavation as compared to other methods of daylighting. Because of their cold weather climates, they found it hard to excavate using traditional techniques, so they discovered that by using hydro excavation with heated water it made the job a lot easier.

How Hydro Excavation Works

Hydro excavation is a process that uses a combination of pressurized water, to soften the soil and debris around pipe systems, and an air vacuum, to take out the soil and debris and put them into a vacuum truck. It is the most preferred method of digging because of its efficiency and accuracy. Traditional digging methods can be tedious, dangerous and costly. 

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. 

Hydro Excavation Applications

Underground facilities and subsurface utilities are almost always needed for construction. Excavation to lay these utilities is not an easy job and has a lot of risks. The existence of hydro excavation has considerably lessened these risks and it can now be used for several excavation applications. 

Using hydro excavation has made digging a much safer, accurate and faster way to access underground utilities. Hydro excavation can be used for debris removal, digging in difficult areas, potholing, daylighting, and pipe and sewer rehabilitation.

It also allows for less congestion and traffic in the excavation area because the equipment can be positioned at a distance.

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 primary benefit of hydro excavation is that it provides the damage and safety controls when compared with mechanical digging. Since it is so accurate, it limits accidents and injuries for workers. However, at the end of the day it does a better and safer job of digging. 
     

  • Using hydro excavation avoids damage to underground pipes, lines, and cables. This will in turn eliminate all the high expenses needed for repairs and restoration. Having to stop to do fewer repairs means less time to get the job done. Interrupted utilities bring inconveniences and high costs. This process of excavation is able to minimize damages.
     

  • All these bring long run benefits as well. With safety risks and repairs lessened, hydro excavation also reduces insurance and liability costs. As this process provides better results, a company's reputation and profitability often increases. 
     

  • In general, hydro excavation is a method that creates a better service for the customer and that makes life easier for the contractors, customers and the laborers.
