Expert Hydrovac Solutions
for Utility Protection
Safely expose underground utilities across Alberta with minimal environmental impact.
The Power of Hydrovacing
Hydrovac excavation—commonly referred to as hydrovacing—is a non-destructive digging method that uses high-pressure water to break up soil, which is then vacuumed into a debris tank for safe disposal. This process allows for highly precise excavation without the risks associated with mechanical digging.
Also known as daylighting or potholing, hydrovacing is ideal for uncovering buried utilities like fiber optic lines, gas mains, electrical conduits, and water pipes. It significantly reduces the risk of damage, making it the preferred method for sensitive underground work.
