How do Hydro Excavating Trucks Work and Operate?

/0 Comments/in /by

The first piece of information that should be told is that every crew and every Hydro Excavating truck is different!

Before creating a truck questions such as.. must be answered.

Does the truck have water pressure? 

Does the truck have water flow that can be dialed up or down depending on the soil conditions?

Does the truck have water and debris capacity to dig at least half a day without having to leave the jobsite to dump?

These questions can be critical in excavating older ground that has not been touched in a long period  of time and could potentially have underground lines that are deteriorating that need extra carefulness.

What influences the Price of Hydro Excavating? 

Driving time – Depending on where you need to take the Excavating truck  may depend on the dollar that you pay! If you are working on a

Legal Area – Is the truck within the legal weight limit in your area when it shows up on the job site loaded with water and ready to work?

Does the truck have a boiler on board?

To heat the water to a temperature that will melt frozen ground? If not, you will pay more than

you need to for the excavation, guaranteed.

 

All of these factors may influence the price  of Hydro Excavating! Before ordering a truck make sure to call and ask us questions!

How do the HydroX Excavating Trucks remove Debris?

What happens  in the removing process? 

HydroX excavating removes debris using a unique combination of water pressure and vacuum, combined in one self-contained Hydro Excavating  truck. First, water is pressurized and injected into the area containing the debris through a handheld wand.  The resulting slurry made from water is immediately vacuumed from the excavation site through a large debris hose connected to a debris tank in the HydroX truck.

Why Water Excavation?

/0 Comments/in /by

Water/Hydro Excavation has huge advantages when it compares to traditional mechanical excavation. Leaning towards more precise control compared to using a metal claw to dig into the ground. Some advantages are short term while others are long.

Suitable For Canadian Land

Canada has a very firm ground since our weather conditions are so extremely cold which makes excavation hard to accomplish.  Water excavation loosens the ground before excavation which makes the process very well suited for our Canadian land. Water excavation is capable to excavate most soil textures making its equipment an all-weather tool.

Non Destructive Excavation

Fact. Water excavation is non destructive. It causes no destruction or disturbance to its nearby surroundings. Water excavation is considered the safest method of excavation due to its high safety standards.

Great For Locating Utilities

One of the tasks in excavating land is locating utilities such as gas or pipelines in the ground. Water excavation safely locates these utilities and in return greatly lowers the chance of going in and damaging the utilities. Which ultimately can save replacement and repair costs.

Cost Efficient

While water excavation equipment is generally costlier than other types of excavation equipment, water excavation projects are still similarly cost-efficient. Other methods are time-consuming and are about 5 to 7 times slower than water excavation. This increases the cost of the project because of use of manual labor.

The quality of water excavation depends on the quality of the water excavation equipment. HydroX has reliable equipment and is ready to help in the projects you might have.
