What is Hydro Excavation?
Hydro Excavation is a non-mechanical and non-destructive process that uses pressurized water or a high flow of pressurized air—known as pneumatic excavation—to simultaneously excavate native soils at a controlled rate. This process allows for clean, efficient, and accurate excavations requiring less backfill, manpower, restoration, and environmental impact than conventional digging methods. A restricted water flow or pneumatic air stream allows for flawless accuracy. Compared to a conventional backhoe or large excavator, a hydro or pneumatic excavator removes only the material needed for repair or inspection, reducing the amount of debris.
