Hydro Excavation Tooling

As its name implies, hydro excavation tooling employs blasting the ground with pressurized water to loosen it together with its debris so that it can be easily suctioned by an industrial grade vacuum system and contained in a holding tank, where mud can be later disposed or can be used for backfilling. Because of this technology, civil contractors are able to dig a hole on the ground precisely and with minimum effort. This method of digging is very useful in pipe location, slot trenching and potholing. Here are some of the great advantages of hydro excavation equipment over traditional digging equipment.

Since the hydro excavator uses water, all types of soil, no matter how tough they are, can be excavated by the equipment. 

Water that is employed by the excavator can prevent the effect of sandblasting due to high speed air. Static electricity is controlled by water. Although pressurized water is used to blast the ground, it is gentle enough for underground structures, thereby giving civil contractors an assurance that the process won't inflict physical damage to underground assets. Water makes use of itself as a lubricant. Frozen ground can still be excavated as water can be heated to thaw the ground. Hydro excavators have made potholing and location of underground utilities a lot safer than conventional methods. Because of the efficiency of High Pressure Hose, they are commonly employed by a lot of companies as they create less surface damage and create minimal traffic disruption on the sites where they are used.
