Hydro excavation is precise, safe, fast and far less destructive than traditional excavation techniques. The cost of a utility strike is high in terms of penalties, repair costs, and lost time. Hydro excavation is a cost-effective way to implement your next excavation project. Here’s why:
The hydro excavation process allows for quick, clean, and precise excavations—requiring less backfill, less labor force, less restoration, and less environmental impact than conventional digging methods. The surgeon-like accuracy is a result of a water gun tool which removes only the necessary material instead of a large, less-than-accurate backhoe.
This razor-like precision is considered “preventive excavation” as it tends to disrupt less ground while searching for underground utilities and infrastructure. This limits the scope (and invasiveness) of traditional excavation methods, ultimately lowering the cost!
There are several hydro excavation services which also aid in lowering costs during the evacuation process. The sub-surface utility engineering process observes and records depths, locations, and quality of buried utilities extremely quickly, and in the most efficient manner. This process itself lowers costs in pre-construction, as it eliminates accidental line breakage, unexpected utility relocation, change orders, environmental disasters, and community impact.
Remote excavating leaves virtually no footprint and a very clean worksite because—even when working inside buildings or underneath structures—the only necessary equipment is the water gun tool and a vacuum hose. Lower footprint and cleaner worksites mean lower costs in the areas of cleanup and just being eco-friendly in general.

Avoiding accidental hits to underground utilities is crucial during a project. Such possible accidental hits to avoid include power outages, fires, floods, utility damage, injuries to workers and bystanders, and inconvenient traffic disruptions, mandatory evacuation procedures, and costly interruption to businesses and construction projects.
When using Ecotech’s unique hydro excavation services, jobs are completed much faster than with conventional equipment, yielding in less material to be removed and the use of truly cost efficient tools for your next big project.
Additionally, Ecotech helps take care of the environment through the use of high-pressure water, precisely digging through soil with minimum disruption to the surrounding environment. Ecotech’s hydro excavator can dig through the toughest material with precision—such as rocky soil, clay, and frozen ground. As an added bonus, the hydro excavation truck can be up to hundreds of feet away from the dig site, decreasing ground restoration from heavy equipment and a larger footprint, as well as not worrying about runoff of sediment into sewer systems and waterways.
Using Ecotech’s hydro excavation services is revolutionary in avoiding accidental hits which risk harm to people, businesses, and their properties.

Ecotech specializes in hydro and air excavation throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Region. Leveraging precision, safety, and efficiency, Ecotech is your excavation solutions partner. Our policy is to reach for the highest level of safety while complying with government health, safety laws, and regulations.
Defining Hydro Excavation
Hydro excavation is a non-mechanical, non-destructive process that combines pressurized water and a high flow of moving air to simultaneously excavate and evacuate soil and natural debris. Benefits of the hydro excavation process include:
Improved Safety:
Unlike metal shovels or backhoe buckets, high pressure water does not damage gas lines, electric lines, cable, pipes or other underground utilities. The safety of our employees, clients, public property, and environment is a top priority at Ecotech. Our employees receive extensive training in adherence to government health, safety laws, and regulations.
Lower Costs:
Hydro excavation saves you time and money. Unlike traditional excavation processes, hydro excavation provides more precision, reduces backfilling, and limits restoration costs. Costly fees associated with accidental hits are virtually eliminated.
Guaranteed Sustainability:
By using high-pressure water to precisely remove soil and debris, hydro excavation provides minimal disruption to the surrounding environment.
A leader in hydro excavation, Ecotech is your precise, safe, and efficient digging partner. To schedule your consultation, please call (717) 806-5460 or e-mail. We look forward to serving you!
