Did you know that hydro excavation saves valuable resources? For example, this technologically advanced excavation process saves both time and money. It also works well in areas where the traditional excavation method cannot reach physically. When all is said and done working with a hydro excavation specialist on your next project instead of a traditional excavation company makes perfect sense. So how does the hydro excavation process work? In essence, highly pressurized water is sprayed in the area that needs to be excavated.
The water hose contains a specialized hose and nozzle system that was designed specifically for hydro excavation. When the water is sprayed at such a high pressure it immediately turns the soil into a slurry. So where does the slurry go? It is removed with a professional vacuum truck. In essence, the slurry is vacuumed up. The vacuum truck can be located upwards of 30-35 feet away from the area that is being excavated. Once the slurry is sucked up it can be stored in the tank of the vacuum truck until it is permanently disposed of.
The spray nozzle is so precise that only the area that requires excavation is dug up. That eliminates the entire backfilling process. In essence, once the hydro excavation work is done, the foundation or other item can be installed without the need to backfill after. Of course, that saves both time and money. Speaking of saving both time and money, the hydro excavation process does not require the use of heavy-duty digging machinery such as backhoes and bulldozers. It cost a lot of money to operate backhoes and bulldozers.
The daily fuel bill alone is enough to break the bank. These machines are also dangerous to operate and cause a great deal of injuries and even deaths on job sites across the globe each year. On the other hand the hydro excavation method is significantly safer. It takes far less manpower to complete the job. It takes far less equipment to complete the job. The excavation process can be finished a whole lot faster as well. That’s good for your construction budget and your bottom line. So why not save both time and money and give hydro excavation a chance the next time you need any excavation work done.
It’s the perfect way to dig foundations. Hydro excavation is also the perfect way to dig trenches for utility lines. It works great even if there are other utility lines buried near the ones you need to fix or install. The construction industry as a whole is slow to adopt new technologies. However, hydro excavation is something that you simply cannot miss out on.
