Hydroexcavation Services

Municipal Hydro Excavation Services

Wind River Environmental also offers expert hydro excavation services – the safest most efficient way to remove excavate soil. More accurate and non-destructive than hard-edge tools, our highly trained technicians utilize a combination of high-pressure water and an air vacuum to easily move or remove soil and uncover underground utilities. 

The hydro excavation (hydro vac) process is particularly effective for pipe and sewer line rehabilitation or landscaping. Using this process minimizes the disturbance or damages to the surrounding area.

Applications for Municipal Properties

Hydro excavation is increasingly popular for municipal properties due to its precision, efficiency, and safety advantages. Here’s how it applies to municipal settings:

Utility Maintenance:

  • Precise Digging: Assists in locating and exposing underground utilities like water mains, sewer lines, and electrical cables without causing damage.

Foundation Work:

  • Trenching: Useful for creating trenches for foundations, footings, or other structural elements in municipal buildings and infrastructure. The precise excavation minimizes the risk of undermining existing structures.

Potholing:

  • Locating: Provides accurate potholing to confirm the depth and location of existing utilities before starting municipal construction or renovation projects.

Landscaping and Drainage:

  • Excavation: Ideal for landscaping tasks, including digging for posts, utility poles, and street signs, as well as installing drainage systems, without disturbing large areas.

Environmental Compliance:

  • Remediation: Useful in environmentally sensitive areas where contamination might be a concern, reducing the risk of spreading pollutants.
