Hydro Vac Services
Vacuum excavation, commonly known as Hydro Excavation, is increasingly becoming the preferred method for conducting safe excavation activities, particularly when dealing with concealed underground utilities.
Our vacuum excavation trucks employ a high-pressure hose to disintegrate the soil, simultaneously extracting the dislodged material through suction. This technique minimizes the risk of damage that could occur with traditional excavation machinery, allowing for precise clearance around underground services. This not only provides a visual guide for subsequent heavy machinery operations but also mitigates service interruptions and avoids the costly repairs associated with utility damage.
City Fiber Inc. boasts a specialized fleet of vacuum excavation trucks, varying in capacity to meet diverse project needs, from 1,000 to 14,000 liters spoil capacity, with additional options available upon request.
Our comprehensive Vacuum Excavation services encompass:
- Potholing for service location
- Strip trenching specialization
- Substation excavation for electrical authorities and contractors
- Trenching, posthole digging, and foundation excavation
- Conduit threading
- Drainage system and pipe cleaning, including jetting
- Underground utility and cable mapping
- Waste material removal
- Environmental cleanups and fire hydrant maintenance
For projects requiring direct access to subterranean cables or utilities, HydroVac offers an optimal solution, combining minimal disruption with maximal efficiency. Our experienced teams are skilled in a range of tasks including daylighting, potholing, trenching, utility exposure, bore support, dewatering, pile excavations, conduit thawing/flushing, boiler work, and environmental remediation, catering to both contaminated and non-contaminated waste disposal.
Hydro excavation is recognized for its safety, cost-effectiveness, and non-destructive nature, particularly suitable for areas with unclear underground asset mapping or high damage risk. City Fiber Inc. delivers swift and proficient hydro excavation services, employing either combo units or standard vacuum trucks with trailer-mounted high-pressure water systems, tailored to project scale.
Key benefits of hydro excavation include:
- Enhanced control over excavation depth, speed, and area
- Exemption from digging permits due to non-mechanical soil penetration
- Rapid deployment capability
- Diminished risk of damage to subterranean utilities
- Operational flexibility, enabling remote digging operations
Our hydro excavation services are sought after across various sectors, including government, municipal, construction, railway, and telecommunications for tasks like network remediation, new installations, and underground service identification.
City Fiber Inc.’s hydro vacuum excavation not only facilitates rapid and precise posthole creation for utility poles but is also ideal for trenching and installing drainage systems, leveraging water and vacuum technology over conventional digging methods for enhanced efficiency and safety.
