The main heroes, besides our technicians, in accomplishing a hydro excavation service is a fleet of fully-maintained, top-notch, water-pressurized vacuum hydro excavating trucks composed of the Foremost 1200 and 1600 models.
What Jobs Can The Hydro Excavating Truck Do?
These hydro-vac trucks were engineered to do any digging project that needs to be done safely, quickly, and without damage to utility lines and pipes.
A Hydro Excavating Truck can build trenches to lay pipes in. They can, safely and without damage, perform a daylight or potholing expedition to expose underground utility lines or pipes and determine the depth, size, or type of known utility locations. There are many more types of excavation jobs that can be done with these trucks but those are to name a few.
What Are The Components Of A Hydro-Vac Truck?
The components needed for a successful hydro excavation job is a boom, dig tube, water pump, vacuum blower, a debris tank, and, at times, a water heater.
- Water Pump: provides high-pressure water to liquefy the soil for removal with the dig tube.
- Vacuum Blower: supplies the suction for removing the debris from the excavation site and into the debris tank.
- Debris Tank: Carries away excavated soil and debris away from the site.
- Water Heater: Supplies hot water for digging in frozen conditions.
- Boom: To reach the dig site
