How hydro excavators for slot trenching are better than using your shovel

Slot trenching aims to create slender trenches, often required for the underground installation of pipes, cables, signs, posts, and various utilities. Given the necessity for narrow trenches, hydro excavation is preferred for its superior accuracy and precision.

WHY DIG SLOT TRENCHES WITH A HYDRO VAC TRUCK?

Safety is worth every penny on the job site

Traditional slot trenching methods pose safety hazards and are labor-intensive. Mechanical and manual digging not only places a significant strain on workers but also consumes considerable time, presenting safety risks. Furthermore, these conventional methods often fail to achieve the required narrowness of trenches, necessitating backfilling, which in turn escalates labor and material costs. Hydro excavation presents a solution that circumvents these problems, providing a safer, more efficient alternative.

Hydro Vac Trucks come in handy as an on-hand resource. They bring security to the planning and execution of a dig when traditional methods can vary widely on time, and cost as well as safety. 

This is a common question. Yes, the soil composition will affect the efficiency of the excavation. Material such as clay can take 1.5x the time compared to regular soil. But this factor affects any digging method the same.
