Vacuum Truck for Ground Disturbance
When it comes to locating an underground utility line or working around highly sensitive subterranean works, a hydro-vacuum truck (hydro-vac) is the equipment you need. We have them. Hydro-vac equipment combines pressurized water (hydro) with high-velocity vacuum (vac) to loosen and remove soil adjacent to underground structures. This results in the safe and non-destructive exposure of buried structures without use of machinery or hand excavation tools.
Our hydro-vac units are commonly used as a safe method to expose or daylight buried cable, wire or pipe. When the work involves a petroleum site or contaminated earth materials, we have the facilities, expertise, and solutions for proper disposal.
Applications:
- - Day lighting of underground electrical and communications cables
- - Day lighting of underground gas lines
- - Trenching for underground cable installation
- - Drilling of test holes and monitoring wells
- - Cleaning of sewer lift stations, manhole cleanouts and culverts
- - Frozen ground earth work
- - Hazardous and non-hazardous waste disposal
- - Spill cleanup near sensitive structures
