Our Hydrovac Services

    • Potholing – Our high-pressure water and vacuum excavation techniques allow us to accurately expose underground utilities with minimal surface disruption. This ensures that you get clear visibility, enabling you to plan and construct your projects with confidence.

       

    • Daylighting – We meticulously reveal buried infrastructure to visually verify its location, depth, and condition. With ABI Hydrovac, utilities are exposed safely, significantly reducing risks and avoiding costly project delays.

       

    • Utility Locating – Our team leverages advanced locating technology and excavation methods to confirm the presence and specifics of underground utilities before any work commences. This proactive approach eliminates guesswork and safeguards essential infrastructure from accidental strikes.

       

    • Trenching – ABI Hydrovac specializes in clean, controlled trenching for the installation of pipelines, conduits, and utilities. Our non-destructive techniques minimize back-fill and restoration costs while reducing overall job-site impact.

       

    • Pole Hole Excavation – We provide precise, debris-free excavation for utility poles, signage, and telecom installations. Our method guarantees consistent depth and diameter, thereby enhancing installation efficiency and stability.

       

    • Remote Hose Excavation – Our extended reach capabilities allow us to excavate in tight, congested, or environmentally sensitive areas without moving equipment directly over the dig site. This ensures safer access with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment.

       

    • Site Preparation – From debris removal to precise excavation, we expedite site preparation for construction projects. Our hydrovac process minimizes damage to surrounding areas, keeping your project clean and on schedule.

       

    • Cold Weather Excavation – Frozen ground is no obstacle for us. Our heated water systems allow us to break through frost and continue excavation safely and effectively, ensuring your projects progress smoothly year-round.
