Water loosens the ground; vacuum recovery removes it
Hydro excavation applies controlled water to loosen soil, then uses the vacuum hose to recover the resulting slurry into the truck. This gives the operator a clear, controlled excavation method around known or suspected underground assets.
02
Use non-destructive digging where precision matters
Hydro excavation is suited to potholing, service exposure, trench support and constrained civil or industrial sites where a mechanical bucket would create unnecessary strike or damage risk. The crew still needs plans, marks, site controls and an appropriate work method.
03
Plan water, spoil and access before arrival
Water availability, truck position, hose run, expected ground conditions, spoil volume and disposal requirements affect the job setup. Photos and marked-up plans help VACIT prepare the right unit and crew.
