What is Hydrovac?
Hydrovac, short for hydro excavation, is a non-destructive method of digging and removing soil using pressurized water and a powerful vacuum system. It's like precision surgery for the ground. Hydrovac units consist of a high-pressure water system and a large vacuum, all mounted on a truck. These systems work in harmony to excavate soil, exposing underground utilities, pipelines, and other structures with utmost precision.
How Does Hydrovac Work?
Hydrovac starts with a blast of high-pressure water, which is precisely aimed at the area to be excavated. This water efficiently breaks up the soil, turning it into slurry while ensuring minimal disturbance to the surrounding soil and infrastructure.
Simultaneously, a powerful vacuum system sucks up the soil slurry into a debris tank, separating the solids from the liquid. This process is efficient and minimizes the mess often associated with traditional excavation methods.
Once the soil is safely removed, it can be disposed of properly. The liquid in the debris tank can be recycled or disposed of as needed.
The Advantages of Hydrovac:
Safety:
Hydrovac minimizes the risk of damage to underground utilities and pipelines. It's a safe and non-destructive method that reduces the potential for accidents and costly repairs. Precision: Hydrovac is incredibly precise, making it perfect for locating utilities and digging in tight spaces. It's the go-to choice for sensitive excavation projects.
Environmental Friendliness:
Dean Christian Hydovac Ltd. dumps at Alberta environment certified sites and will send you a scale ticket so you can track what has come off site.
Time and Cost Efficiency:
Hydrovac is faster and often more cost-effective than traditional excavation methods. It reduces project downtime and labor costs.
Versatility:
Hydrovac is not limited to one type of soil or terrain. It can be used in a variety of geological and weather conditions.
Why Choose Hydrovac for Your Excavation Needs?
In the construction and utility industries, time is money. Hydrovac not only offers unparalleled safety and precision but also saves valuable time and resources. This revolutionary method is changing the way we excavate, making it the top choice for professionals in the field.
