Digging Process

Hydro Excavation is the safest method and best practice for cold weather digging. Pressurized, heated water is injected into the surface of the frozen soil, immediately thawing the frost to create a slurry that can be quickly removed through an industrial vacuum. Heated water will circulate through the system while the hydro vac is on standby to prevent freeze-ups. This method allows for a safe and efficient digging and excavation process.

Digging Benefits

Hydro excavation is beneficial for many reasons. The most important benefit of hydro excavation in cold weather is that it can cut through frozen ground. Equipped with high power coil heaters, the trucks allow for smooth excavation in harsh winter conditions. In colder months, it’s common for some construction sites to become less accessible. Vacuum excavation trucks can reach 400 feet from the main site, creating ease of accessibility. An additional benefit of cold weather digging with hydro excavation is that it is essential when working with buried underground utilities. Hydro excavation lowers the risk of damaging lines with high-pressure water Using a hydro excavator is essential for cold weather digging when working with buried underground facilities. Hydro excavation lowers the risk of damaging lines with high-pressure water. This is especially helpful when dealing with unknown underground lines that only a hydro excavation team could workaround. Hydro excavation also can thaw out the following: frozen water lines, fire hydrants, trucks, and equipment.
