Hydrovac Excavation and Drainage CCTV Inspection Services that Ensures Safety First and Keeps Costs

Author: Jayden Holden

Digging is integral to any construction & demolition (C&D) activity. Traditional mechanical digging methods, on the other hand, are not only time-consuming and invasive, but also harmful, as there is a considerable risk of damaging subsurface services. It is at this point that the modern non-destructive digging process known as hydrovac excavation, as given by a professional hydrovac excavation services provider firm such as Aussie Hydro-Vac Services, becomes the best option for construction projects. It is a practical, cost-effective, and speedier approach because it resolves the majority of the challenges associated with an excavation job. Aside from being safer than the old method, hydrovac excavation decreases the chance of damaging or disrupting subsurface utilities at a site.

Hydrovac excavation breaks the soil and evacuates it into a tank using a highly pressurised jet of water and an industrial strength suction. A high-pressure water jet is directed towards the excavation site. Hydrovac excavation works by liquefying the dirt and turning it into a slurry, which is then vacuumed and pushed into a truck. Hydrovac excavation can dig up to 70 feet and is suitable for all soil types. Digging under icy circumstances is a highly effective method. When excavating in frozen and icy circumstances, hot water is utilised to melt the ice to reach and break the dirt beneath. As a result, hydrovac excavation allows the construction project to continue even during the winter months.

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services' controlled hydrovac excavation technology protects subsurface utilities while also reducing the likelihood of cave-ins. Because the equipment and truck may be situated away from the excavation site, the company's hydrovac excavation services can be employed successfully in busy regions. As a result, the technique reduces the probability of traffic congestion.

Practical applications of hydrovac excavation:

  • Slot trenching
  • Debris removal
  • Potholing
  • Tight space excavation
  • Daylighting
  • Sign installation
  • Sewer inspections and rehabilitation
  • Line installation
  • Trenching

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services' operators employ cutting-edge technology, techniques, and safety precautions to ensure the process is completed safely. During hydrovac excavation, they must not exceed 3000 psi pressure since higher pressure can harm underground lines. To spread the force of the water, a rotating nozzle of the suitable size is utilised. The pressure cannot exceed 2,500 psi when using a straight nozzle. When digging up to 18 inches, the pressure must not exceed 1500 psi. Furthermore, the water used in hydrovac excavation is not heated above 115° F to protect the cables and electrical lines.

Drainage CCTV inspection services

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services conducts drainage CCTV inspections using a remote-controlled CCTV camera that is inserted through a local manhole, rodding eye, or rodding cap and pressed throughout the pipe system to capture live images of the drainage pipe. The operators employ cutting-edge waterproof cameras to deliver live footage of the below running wastewater. This allows the operator to observe an area that would otherwise be difficult to see.

The drainage CCTV inspection team uses access roads to move the camera across the drainage system. This allows the operator to manoeuvre the drainage around tight corners and turns. Remote-controlled crawlers allow for immediate visual access to the state of the sewer system. The operator can even pass through a clogged pipe. The drainage CCTV inspection crew uses sonar equipment to determine the status of filled pipes where visual access is not available.

Drainage CCTV inspection service by Aussie Hydro-Vac Services allows its crew to find out the root cause of sewer issues such as:

  • Root intrusion
  • Pipe cracking
  • Corrosion
  • Poor installation
  • Earthquake damage
  • Blockage
  • Accidental puncturing
  • Offset joint pipes

Drainage CCTV inspections performed by Aussie Hydro-Vac Services might be advantageous when acquiring a new house. If an existing homeowner is unsure why their sinks, toilets, and bathrooms aren't draining the water they should, they can employ CCTV drainage inspection. Aussie Hydro-Vac Service use cutting-edge technology for drainage CCTV inspection services in order to give you with the best and most timely service possible..
