Pneumatic & Hydro Vacuum Excavation services tailored to your project

We use the latest equipment, designed for tight urban access. We offer both hydro and pneumatic excavation, and will tailor our services to best accommodate project site conditions. We also offer full site restoration services. All investigations are carried out in strict adherence to the CI/ASCE Standard 38-02: Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data.

  • In pneumatic excavation, high speed air flow is used to loosen the material covering the target and the soil is sucked away with the vacuum tube. This soil can be used as native back fill as it is not mixed with any other materials.
  • During hydro excavation, a high pressure water jet is used at high temperatures to loosen the material covering the target. This method is suitable for any soil type.
  • On hard surfaces such as asphalt, concrete or limestone, a process of keyhole cutting is applied using diamond tip cutting equipment in order to access the soft surface underneath. Depending on the requirements of the project, we also offer full site restoration services.
