Which Industries Could Use A Hydrovac?

Hydrovac, also known as Hydro Excavation in certain circles, is a type of excavation process that involves utilization of pressurized water, injected into the ground in order to soften it. When the solid ground then turns into sludge, the vacuum system draws out the sludge through a hose and into an attached storage truck. This process of excavation is non-destructive (does not disturb the nearby surroundings), and is an increasingly quick means of excavation. Hydro excavation manages to accomplish in hours, what the traditional mechanical excavation (that uses metal claws) managed in days. Industrial hydrovac is now used across several sectors, and is only just starting to get noticed among others. Here are a few industries where industrial hydrovac is commonplace.

Piping Industry

The piping industry is a vast industry and industrial hydrovac has multiple applications within the piping industry itself. Hydrovac is useful when it comes to cleaning pipes of all its contaminants using the vacuum system. Furthermore, since hydrovac is non-destructive and is capable of detecting underground pipelines, it is trusted to excavate the ground when the pipelines are to be altered, reworked, or exposed.

Oil Drilling Industry

The flourishing oil drilling industry in Alberta has a large requirement for industrial hydrovac excavation services. The cold terrain of Alberta is generally very difficult to pierce through, and the fact that hydrovac trucks have a provision for heating the pressurized jets make hydro excavation very popular for the oil drilling industry. Another reason for this popularity would be the fact that it is essential to know exactly where to commence digging and hydrovac trucks are apt at exposing the underground pipelines, thus ensuring the very important sense of direction.

Construction Industry

Construction industries are far more productive due to the increased efficiency of industrial hydrovac. Digging and debris collection is swifter when compared to mechanical excavation, which utilizes metal claws instead, which are harder to direct and control. Constructing tunnels and foundational structures are now relatively less time-consuming.

Mining Industry

Mining industry uses large-scale digging excavation operations, and hydrovac excavation has also been utilized since hydrovac has the potential of digging through the ground at a much faster rate. Hydrovac is capable of excavating several textures of soil and ground, including gravel and clay, which makes it a suitable option for mining purposes as well.

Hydrovac is widely used in these industries as it has many advantages such as being time-efficient (the capacity to excavate at a faster rate) and is surprisingly cost-efficient. Canadians must also consider the fact that hydrovac is capable of excavating cold, hard ground as well.
