Vacuum Excavation Services tailored to your project
We use the latest equipment, designed for tight urban access. We offer hydro excavation and will tailor our services to best accommodate project site conditions. We also offer full site restoration services.
- Hydro excavation: Uses a high-pressure water jet at high temperatures to loosen the material covering the target. This method is suitable for any soil type.
- Keyhole cutting: On hard surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, or limestone, a process of keyhole cutting is applied using diamond tip cutting equipment to access the soft surface underneath. Depending on the requirements of the project.
