Hydrovac Excavation
Offering modern solutions with state-of-the-art equipment resulting in increased safety, effectiveness and productivity. Before you dig, consider your excavation options. With HIS Constructors non-destructive hydrovac excavation services, it is our mission to safely and efficiently remove soil around buried utilities and underground structures. Our hydro excavation process combines pressurized water and a powerful 6000 cfm positive displacement blower system, which allows us to excavate in the toughest conditions, including through frozen ground.
Applications include:
Line Exposing
- Visual confirmation of buried lines
- Service/splice pits
- Directional drilling test holes
- Cathodic anode installation
- Pipeline and utility crossings
- Subsurface utility engineering-quick way to observe & record depths/locations of buried utilities for mapping/future construction. Pre-construction S.U.E. has shown significant cost savings by eliminating accidental line breakage, unexpected utility relocation, environmental disasters and community impact
Pole Holes:
- Utility poles
- Traffic signals
- Traffic signals
- Sign posts
- Pole removals/replacements
