Vacuum Excavation
Vacuum excavation technology provides fast, precise, non invasive excavation, in an environmentally friendly approach. By using high pressure water and vacuum to safely uncover underground utilities and verify paint marks without damaging property or crews.
Vacuum excavation has become the proven technique of choice among many utility companies, as well as city, county and state government agencies when locating, exposing and mapping underground facilities.
Many municipalities and government agencies now require all contractors to either hand dig or vacuum excavate utilities. They no longer rely on paint marks,
and no longer allow the use of a backhoe for locating due to the danger of damaging utilities.
