One of the dangers with underground excavation is the possibility for a utility strike. With the use of a vacuum excavator, utilities can be located safely without fear of damage or disruption. Potholing is the process of underground discovery. Instead of excavating multiple cubic yards of fill, the utility of concern is located in even regularity then is safely excavated using traditional equipment.
- Increase the accuracy of subsurface utility engineering
- Verify other utility locating services with a true visual inspection
- Reduce construction and operation interruptions
- Ensure accurate location and size of utility
The process uses a pressurized water jet to loosen the earth and a heavy industrial vacuum to remove the material. Once the utility is located and measurements are taken the material can be placed back into the opening. Excavation can be completed underneath asphalt or concrete slabs once a penetration is made.
Other possibilities
- Clean out valve boxes or transition sumps
- Building Area wells
- Cooling Tower sumps
- Anything where water and a vacuum could help
