Vacuum Excavation

Ecotech Hydro Excavation
Vacuum excavation is a non-mechanical, non-destructive process that involves breaking apart material with high-pressure water or air to excavate and evacuate soil and natural debris at a controlled rate.

Vacuum excavation is a non-mechanical, non-destructive process that involves breaking apart material with high-pressure water or air to excavate and evacuate soil and natural debris at a controlled rate. It is also known as soft digging, hydro excavation, air excavation, remote excavation, and preventive excavation. The excavated soil travels through a flexible hose to a truck-mounted debris tank that can be parked at a distance from the dig site to minimize congestion and surface damage.

Vacuum excavation’s precision is considered “preventive excavation” because it disrupts less ground while searching for underground utilities and infrastructure, limiting the scope and invasiveness of traditional excavation methods. This results in lower excavation costs, less backfill, less labor, less restoration, and less environmental impact.

Ecotech offers both hydro and air excavation, providing a safer way to expose utilities. The company’s high-powered trucks can switch between air and water excavation easily, making them highly versatile. At Ecotech, safety is a top priority for employees, clients, the public, and the environment. Both excavation methods virtually eliminate accidental hits to underground utilities, making them a reliable and efficient option for excavation projects.
