Vacuum excavation with Phenix Construction.

How does hydrovac excavation work?

Hydrovac excavation uses a high-pressure water device to cut through the soil and break it up. A large truck mounted industrial vacuum is then used to remove the slurry from the excavation area into a debris tank mounted on the truck. This process provides a way to safely dig around other utilities without the risk of costly damages. After the excavation is finished, the hole or trench is filled with clean compactable fill.

How deep can you excavate with a hydrovac truck?

Hydrovac excavation can dig as deep as 40 feet below grade and up to 100 feet away from the truck. This procedure employs extra-long vacuum and water hoses to allow workers to excavate in areas having limited access or frozen soil.

Why are hydrovac trucks important?

Hydrovac trucks can precisely and efficiently excavate in a variety of environmental conditions and soil types – Including: frozen soil conditions, hard-packed soils, clay and rocky materials, as well as in remote areas or locations with limited access. Vacuum trucks are also used as a soft dig solution when excavating near other existing buried utilities to locate and preserve them.

Wow, I had no idea that a hydrovac truck can dig 40 feet down and 100 feet away from it. That is a ton of distance that can be covered by one vehicle. I hope that contractors know this so they can save money by simply renting or hiring one truck to what would usually take a lot of vehicles and man power.

I'm glad that this article talked about how hydro excavation can dig as long as 40 feet below. I remember when a friend of mine mentioned to me last night that he is hoping to find a hydro excavation service that is offering non-destructive processes for their home and asked if I have any idea what is the best option to do. Thanks to this helpful article, I'll be sure to tell him that it will be much better if we consult a trusted hydro excavation service as they can answer all our inquiries and will provide good-quality service.
