Hydrovac is the process of hydro excavation. It is a non-destructive process of digging using pressurized water. Non-destructive because hydrovac service providers ensure that none of the underground fixtures such as pipelines and underground infrastructures get damaged during the excavation process. Service providers like Sierra Hydrovac use high-quality equipment for all their hydrovac services. We use Hydrovac excavation trucks, track-and-mini-hoes, and skid-steers. Strict and safe procedures are used to get the work done effectively and efficiently. There are various applications of Hydrovac services such as trenching, pipeline and utility crossing, daylighting, directional drill and bore support.

Trenching

This is a common method of excavation. A trench is a narrow underground excavation tool that is deeper than is wide. Trenches are created to either install underground infrastructures such as gas lines, water pipes, water mains and telephone lines or to access these fixtures. There are various types of trenching methods such as slot, perimeter, cross and exploratory, box and linear trenching.

Pipeline and Utility Crossing

These type of excavations are usually done to repair underground utilities. Performing excavation in areas where there are many pipelines and utility crossings can be extremely tricky. It requires sophisticated equipment and a good level of expertise to do the job. Sierra Hydrovac services undertake these type of excavations. They provide easy and quick excavation services.

Daylighting

Hydrovac daylighting is used to safely expose the underground utilities and infrastructure to daylight. This type of excavation is done to reduce costs, improve safety and most importantly to increase productivity because during the day it is easier to finish the maximum amount of work. Hydrovac daylighting has replaced the techniques of hand digging and air vacuuming.

Directional Drilling and Bore Support

“Directional drilling is the science of deviating a wellbore along a planned path to a target located at a given lateral distance and direction from vertical.” It has multiple applications such as side tracking, straight hole drilling, controlled directional drilling, drilling sand with a single wellbore to reach inaccessible locations, fault drilling, to drill salt dome region, relief well, drilling horizontal wells, drilling multilateral wells and extended reach drilling.

All applications of Hydrovac services can be handled by Sierra Hydrovac. We provide you with the best hydrovac solutions at affordable prices.
