HYDRO VAC
Hydro excavation is an innovative, non-destructive digging method that utilizes high-pressure water to soften soil, combined with a powerful vacuum to efficiently remove the resulting slurry. This approach is particularly beneficial for locating underground utilities, excavating around sensitive structures, and conducting digging operations in areas where traditional methods could pose risks or cause damage. BTR offers a diverse range of equipment, from compact hydro excavation trailer units to larger industrial units. Our skilled crews are committed to prioritizing safety and performance to effectively meet your project needs.
HYDRO EXCAVATION BENEFITS
MINIMAL RISK OF INJURY OR DAMAGE
Water pressure is a great option for cutting through tough grass and soil as it poses minimal risk to passersby and underground utilities. This method works by softening and vacuuming up the soil, which in turn reveals wires and pipes. Unlike using heavy backhoes or sharp metal equipment to scoop dirt up, this method is much safer and less disruptive.
TIMELY PROJECT COMPLETION
Mechanical excavation tools have the potential to cause damage to pipes and utilities, which can lead to costly repairs and project delays. However, hydro excavation is a gentler and non-disruptive alternative that can prevent such delays. Additionally, hydro excavation is a fast and convenient process.
ACCURACY
The process involves the use of a handheld pressurized wand to direct a stream of water that cuts through and softens the soil. This allows BTR Environmental professionals to easily navigate tight quarters with minimal disruption to their environment, regardless of any nearby obstacles like streetlights, signs, and adjacent utility systems.
