Hydrovac
A Hydrovac is a type of excavation equipment that uses high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum to safely remove soil and debris. This method is often employed in construction and utility work to expose underground utilities without damaging them. The process is efficient and minimizes the risk of accidents, making it a preferred choice for many contractors.
The Hydrovac system consists of a water tank, a vacuum tank, and a hose. Water is sprayed onto the ground to loosen the soil, which is then sucked into the vacuum tank. This technique is particularly useful in urban areas where underground infrastructure is complex and requires careful handling.
