Hydro Excavation / Soft Dig

Why Hydro Excavation

Hydro Excavation is a method that is used for digging and removing soil. It is able to reduce a lot of the risks and costs that are brought about by traditional digging methods. Highly pressurized water is used along with an air vacuum to complete the hydro excavation system. Because the water is very highly pressurized so it is able to dig the dirt and the air vacuum transfers the dirt to a debris tank.

Hydro excavation is very useful for several industries. Excavation, plumbing pipes and sewer, installation of posts, poles, etc are just a few examples of hydro excavation applications. The benefits it offers make it more and more popular in the industrial world.

Conventional excavation methods like manual shovel digging and the usage of backhoes are not as accurate for digging soil. This results in backfilling needing to be done when the job is complete. Also, manual digging is very intensive for the laborers and is very time consuming. Heavy machinery poses safety risks to laborers and also causes damage to the surroundings.

Hydro excavation eliminates these issues. It is a non-mechanical, eco-friendly and safe method. It gets the job done faster and more accurately with less effort from laborers. This means that costs are cut down and the service provided is better and more efficient. This also means that the hydro excavation company often gains a reputation for great service.
