Hydrovac Excavation, Waste Removal, and Disposal Services that are Quieter, Efficient

Modern offices, industrial, commercial, and residential facilities cannot be rendered inoperable simply due to excavation or renovation work. This is not possible, however, with traditional digging methods, which require the use of shovels, hammers, and other mechanical equipment. Aside from being labour-intensive, traditional digging methods are slow, inefficient, and cause noise and sound disturbances in the neighbourhood. A heap of debris is frequently left at the jobsite only to be removed after the project is completed. Until then, it will remain an unsightly sight for employees and nearby residents.

As a result, new non-destructive digging methods, such as hydrovac excavation, are being used in Australia's construction and renovation projects. Hydrovac excavation entails the use of specialised equipment that allows for non-destructive excavation. To loosen the soil, the crew will use a high-pressure water jet. The resulting slurry is suctioned by the vacuum pump and collected in a debris truck, eliminating the need for an unappealing pile of debris and excavation waste on the jobsite. This slurry and debris is then transported to a secure disposal location. Furthermore, the entire hydrovac excavation process is extremely efficient and relatively quiet. Fewer workers are required as many tasks are automated. As a result, hydrovac excavation not only saves money, but it is also environmentally friendly.

Typical use cases of hydrovac excavation are explained below in brief:

Slot trenching: Narrow trenches are dug for the purpose of installing buried pipelines, conduits, cables, and other underground utilities by the hydrovac excavation service. The narrow stream of high-pressure water from the truck ensures that the soil is removed only in the areas which need excavation.

Daylighting or utility exposure: Water and vacuum can be use used by the hydrovac excavation service to reveal the location of existing underground utilities, such as water mains, electricity and fiber cables, gas lines, and sewer lines. This way, the company providing hydrovac excavation services, waste removal services, and waste disposal services can perform its non-destructive digging operations without damaging these utilities.

Piling hole excavation: Piling holes are required in construction projects by the building engineers for installing piles, and other cylindrical structures required in a construction project. Hydrovac excavation is able to provide a high level of precision required for the pile holes of smaller diameters, which is beyond the capability of the traditional digging methods. High-precision water jetting from hydrovac trucks allows for the creation of pile holes of various diameters and depths with precision, without exposing the crew to the risk of over-excavation.

Excavating in the frozen ground: Hydrovac excavation is used for non-destructive digging operations in frozen ground conditions where traditional, or even the vacuum excavation process using air pressure only can be limiting. The hydrovac excavation truck will direct a high-pressure jet of hot water to breakdown and remove frozen ground material from the site.

Each component of the vehicles used in hydrovac excavation is specifically designed to ensure that the vehicle can perform waste removal and waste disposal services to the desired level of efficiency.

Vehicles with specialised features for use in hydrovac excavation

A water pump is used to direct a high-pressure jet of water to the excavation point, breaking off the soil to be excavated. The debris tank is used to store excavated material as well as to transport and offload it at a designated dumpsite. The water tank is where the water used in hydrovac excavations is stored. It also serves as a source of water for cleaning the debris tank. To remove the slurry, a vacuum or suction pump is used. The vacuum tank generates negative pressure through its suction hose attachment, causing the slurry to be lifted and pushed into the suction hose. Vacuum pumps can be of the rotary vane or liquid ring variety. A rotary vane vacuum pump is easier to maintain, whereas liquid ring pumps may be more efficient in certain applications. Furthermore, Aussie Hydro-Vac Services uses advanced recycling techniques for reusing excavation waste as aggregate material, landscaping, and other purposes, ensuring that the waste has little to no impact on the region's environment.
