Traditional methods of utility locating can be unsafe and laborious. Mechanical and manual digging not only burden workers significantly but also take up substantial time, increasing safety risks. Additionally, these conventional approaches often lack the precision needed for accurately locating utilities, leading to unnecessary and costly disturbances to the surrounding area. Hydro excavation offers a resolution to these challenges, delivering a safer and more effective means of utility detection. By employing high-pressure water to break up soil and a vacuum to remove the debris, hydro excavation ensures precise utility locating without the drawbacks of traditional digging, thus minimizing labor and material costs while enhancing safety and efficiency.
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.
