Built for
Safe Exposure

Vacuum excavation exposes buried utilities without mechanical damage. We deploy hydrovac for potholing, daylighting, and tight-space dig before conventional excavation.

Utility Potholing

Non-destructive exposure to confirm utility location and depth.

Daylighting

Full utility exposure along proposed excavation alignment.

Slot Trenching

Narrow trench excavation in restricted and congested areas.

Catch Basin Cleanout

Vacuum debris removal from catch basins and manholes.

Vault Excavation

Material removal from utility vaults and confined spaces.

Spoil Management

Wet and dry spoil loading, transport, and disposal.

The Field
Protocol

Hydrovac work sequences locate, pothole, verify, and mark. No conventional excavation until utilities are confirmed.

Step 01
Locate & Mark

Dig Safe locates and field marking of proposed excavation.

Step 02
Pothole

Step 03
Document

Utility location marked and documented for mechanical excavation crew.

Step 04
