The three key factors in Hydro Excavation are water, air pressure and suction. The process uses pressurized water to break up the soil and a vacuum to remove the material to expose areas for repair or inspection; minimal materials need to be removed. Hydro Excavation is used in: •The Utility Sector – pole holes, exposing utilities and all types of lines •Oil and Gas Industry – pipeline trenching •Construction – slot trenching for conduits and fencing, exposing utilities •Landscaping – fence work, pool excavation •Remote Work – up to 300 feet •Frost Cutting – •Industrial Dry Vacuuming – debris removal •Sub Surface Utility Engineering – exposing utilities Top Ten Advantages of a Spring Grove Hydro Excavation Truck VS Backhoe/Shovel Work 1.Safest Means of Excavation, Period 2.Safe and Knowledgeable Crews with Farm Boy Work Ethics 3.Non Destructive – does not damage the environment and minimizes repair costs 4.Improves Productivity – faster and safer than alternative excavation methods 5.Uses Less Labour Force 6.No Damage to Buried Utilities 7.Able to Excavate Around Delicate Infrastructure/Environment 8.Requires Less Restoration – all we leave is a hole, no mess 9.Able to Excavate Through Frozen Ground 10.Safest Means of Excavation, Period
