HYDRO EXCAVATING TECHNIQUES
Hydro Excavation is beneficial to many different types of industry settings. When safety and mitigation of damage and risk are involved, it outweights traditional excavating techniques. While not an all-encompassing list, some of the more common industries that Industrial Hydro Excavating service include the following:
Daylighting is a term used to describe the uncovering and exposing of underground utilities and pipelines to daylight. .
Slot trenching is digging narrow trenches. This is commonly needed for installing pipes, cables, signs, posts and other utilities underground.
Pot holing is the process of digging a test hole to expose underground utilities. This can check the lines vertically and horizontally. They are usually 6-8 inches in diameter.
