Modern infrastructure development places utmost importance on the integrity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of projects. One critical civil engineering process that enables the achievement of these objectives is Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE). This all-encompassing method entails meticulous mapping, documentation, and management…
multiVIEW Locates performs hundreds of Vacuum Excavation services annually. Customers rely on our experience and professionalism to manage projects safely, reduce project costs and liability, as well as deliver high accuracy results on time and within budget.
Our highly trained operators and field technicians cleanly and safely expose pipelines, utilities, and electrical systems. Our crews are equipped with professional coring systems to guarantee clean cutting for asphalt and concrete surfaces. Holes are restored with customer-specified, non-settling fill products to ensure site quality.
Benefits of Vacuum Excavation Services:
- Reduces overall excavation time as it is quick and efficient at removing virtually all soil types (clay, frozen ground, gravel, rocks, and other material)
- Minimizes restoration costs associated with the excavation project area
- Virtually eliminates risk of excavation damage to utilities and existing infrastructure
- Provides a minimal, targeted excavation for depths up to 6 metres
- Ideal for excavations with limited accessibility or tight urban access
Vacuum Excavation Services tailored to your project
We use the latest equipment, designed for tight urban access. We offer hydro vacuum excavation and will tailor our services to best accommodate project site conditions. We also offer full site restoration services.
- Hydro vacuum excavation: Also known as Hydrovac Excavation or 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.
Our Vacuum Excavation Services:
- Daylighting Utilities / Test Pitting
- Coring / Keyhole Excavation (concrete, asphalt, and other hard surface materials)
- GPS Surveying of Utility Data
