Hydro Excavation with Advanced Equipment That Return Your Facility in Functional and Clean Condition

Hydrovac excavation uses a highly pressurized water jet to loosen, break, and remove soil. Instead of traditional mechanical tools, hydro excavation creates a slurry with a water jet. The slurry is then suctioned and transferred to a debris holding tank that can be located away from the site of hydrovac excavation using an air conveyor or vacuum. At this point, the crew can expose deeper layers of the ground beneath as well as any existing underground facility networks. When the job is finished, the slurry from the holding tank is put back into the ground to cover the exposed subsurface facilities.

Hydrovac excavation is a more efficient and faster method of digging than traditional methods such as hand digging with shovels or using a heavy excavating unit. As a result, this non-destructive digging method reduces health risks to on-site workers while effectively excavating and removing from an area without disrupting underground utilities. Furthermore, when compared to traditional methods of digging, hydrovac excavation is a highly precise, safe, and controlled non-destructive digging process. Because your underground utilities remain generally operational, your site will also remain operational while the crew excavates for you.

Fast and clean non-destructive digging method

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services' modern equipment for hydro excavation makes very little noise, and all debris is collected as the operation is carried out. As a result, there will be no unsightly piles of debris during hydrovac excavations. The company trains its crew on the best industrial practices on a regular basis, and they perform hydro excavation work for you with professional expertise while keeping your site relatively clean. Because Aussie Hydro-Vac Services' hydrovac equipment performs many operations automatically without the need for manpower, your excavation project will be completed faster and more cost-effectively.

Hydrovac excavation is commonly used to expose underground utilities such as gas and pipe lines, as well as electricity cables, to ensure that there is no risk of leakage or breakage. Hydrovac excavation can be done as part of a full excavation project or for daylighting when a crew performs hydro excavation to uncover small patches of underground to locate utilities.

Hydrovac excavation can be classified into two types:

Fan system: This method of hydrovac excavation is less expensive, lighter, and easier to use. The operator can excavate a space quickly. The fan system is ideal for the majority of non-destructive digging requirements.

Positive displacement blower: This hydro excavation method is generally slower than the fan system, but it can operate at greater depths. Positive displacement hydrovac excavation is thus appropriate for heavy-duty excavation methods.

Hydro excavation is used for a variety of applications such as:

  • Non-destructive digging
  • Remote excavation
  • Slot trenching
  • Daylighting
  • Sign installation
  • Potholing
  • Debris removal
  • Trenching and slot trenching
  • Land clearing,
  • Sewer inspections, repair, and rehabilitation

Equipment that provide exceptional performance

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services operates a fleet of modern hydro excavation trucks equipped with industry-leading features such as hydrostatic drive for vacuum, which is a more efficient system than the inefficient clutch and gearbox operation. The company's hydrovac excavation trucks have a wireless remote control system that allows the operator to function remotely. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services uses HDD vacuum excavators, which are extremely powerful systems for sucking directional drilling fluids. The system combines high-pressure water and vacuum capabilities into a small package that delivers superior filtration and performance.
