Hydrovac

Hydrovacing is a unique method of non-destructive excavation. A hydrovac is an excavation unit that removes soil by using pressurized water (HYDRO) and a powerful vacuum (VAC). The high-pressure water loosens the ground while the vacuum extracts the debris into a tank mounted on a truck. Without damaging the infrastructure underground, the excavation can be performed effectively on all ground types such as:

. Clay

. Sand

. Gravel

Hydrovac units can also be used on frozen ground.
