Daylighting & Potholing
Hydro excavation provides a safe, non-destructive method for exposing underground utilities. Whether daylighting larger areas or potholing to verify the exact location of a utility, this precise excavation method reduces the risk of damage while supporting inspections, maintenance, and new installations.
Applications:
-
Visual confirmation of buried utilities
-
Directional drilling test holes
-
Sacrificial anode installation
-
Pipeline and utility crossings
-
Subsurface Utility Engineering (S.U.E.) test holes
Pole Holes
Hydro excavation is a fast, efficient, and precise solution for installing poles and other vertical infrastructure. By safely excavating around existing underground utilities, it improves productivity, reduces project timelines, and minimizes the risk of utility strikes.
Applications:
-
Utility pole installations
-
Traffic signal pole installations
-
Light standard installations
-
Sign post installations
-
Transmission pole installations
-
Pole removals
-
End-bearing piles
-
Pilot holes for friction piles
-
Spread footing piles
-
Well monitor installations
Trenching & Slot Trenching
Hydro excavation creates precise trenches and narrow slot trenches for the installation, maintenance, and repair of underground infrastructure. This non-destructive method improves jobsite safety, minimizes surface disruption, and reduces the risks associated with traditional excavation.
Applications:
-
Perimeter (exploratory) slot trenching
-
Exposing existing cables and conduits
-
Cable and conduit installation
-
Drain tile installation
-
Line fault repairs
Service Pits
Hydro excavation is the preferred method for constructing service pits, providing safe and accurate access to underground infrastructure for maintenance, repairs, and utility connections. Its precision minimizes excavation, reduces disruption, and enhances safety around existing utilities.
Applications:
-
Gas service tie-in pits
-
Electric cable fault repair pits
-
Watermain and service repair pits
-
Telecom splice pits
