Hydro Excavation, also known as Potholing, Hydro Digging, or Hydro Trenching, is a cutting-edge and environmentally-friendly method of underground trenching that ensures safe and precise excavation without causing damage to existing services. This modern approach has proven to be highly effective and is rapidly replacing traditional excavation methods, which pose a higher risk of service strikes and potential damage to water mains, stormwater systems, wastewater systems, gas lines, electrical conduits, copper cables, fiber optics, and other vital utilities concealed beneath our towns and cities.
The process involves using high-pressure water to break up the soil, creating a slurry, which is then effectively removed from the trench using high-pressure suction. The result is a controlled and non-invasive excavation that significantly reduces the risk of service disruptions and potential harm to the environment.
