Hydrovac excavation is a digging method that uses high-pressure water and a vacuum system to safely remove soil and debris. This technique is particularly useful for locating underground utilities, as it minimizes the risk of damaging pipes and cables. The process involves directing pressurized water to break up the ground, while a vacuum system simultaneously collects the slurry of soil and water. This method is often preferred in urban areas and sensitive environments where traditional excavation can cause disruptions. Hydrovac trucks are equipped with specialized tools to perform this work efficiently, making it a popular choice for construction and utility projects.
