Our vacuum or vac trucks are equipped with pressurized water and a powerful vacuum suction hose to gently remove the soil and safety store it. Furthermore, using pressurized water prevents debris and contaminants from becoming airborne; conventional digging poses this risk. Factors that may affect any particular job include how large the contaminated area is, soil features, site remoteness and existing buildings. Vancouver Hydrovac can also handle and clean any fuel spills from well sites, roads and tank sites using hydrovac in Vancouver.

Daylighting/Line Locating
Daylighting, the practice of digging to locate and expose underground utilities. By using the onboard burner, our units are capable of creating water at an adjustable temperature allowing our equipment to efficiently work on frozen soil, making it suitable for year-round work. By using this technology, it enables the crew to drastically decrease the chance of damaging utilities. As a result, project costs go down and safety levels for the job increases. there are instances where access, along with room to move around on-site is limited. Complications with limited access can increase costs and cause delays. Alberta Hydrovac carries remote hose with all of its hydrovac trucks in Alberta to reach these areas. Not only this, Hydrovac trucks can be used in all types of digging conditions involving thick clay, rocky soils and frozen ground.
Hydrovac Excavation
Traditional mechanical excavation using heavy machinery such as an excavator poses several safety risks. One such risk is the potential for damage to underground utilities. Not only this, but there can be extra costs associated with more laborers. Alternatively, hydro excavation reduces these risks and saves costs. The nature of the hydro excavation process reduces the number of laborers (in most cases), provides accuracy when digging an area and reduced the chance of cracking below ground utilities such as gas lines.

Catch basin systems are the backbone of a functioning municipality and its wastewater management. A number of issues can impede the function of these systems including trash, hazardous materials, deposit build ups and certain organic materials. Hydrovac techniques use high pressure water to effectively remediate and restoration of catch basin systems.
Shoring
Hydrovac excavation is used by companies who need to excavate and remove significant amounts of soil in a safe and timely fashion. There are instances where an excavated area requires additional support where soil has been disturbed or removed. Shoring allows for that; we dig a hole so you are able to place your cage inside of it, which provides a barrier around the excavated area using robust support materials that prevent the excavated area from collapsing in. The primary advantage of using shoring is the reduced risk of “cave ins” and collapse during excavation. Shoring holds back and supports areas that may be affected by the ongoing excavation.
Slot Trenching
Alberta Hydrovac offers slot trenching services to dig narrow and wide trenches using hydrovac in Alberta. Commonly utilized for installing cables, posts, signs and utilities, slot trenching provides accuracy and precision excavation using pressurized water. Advantages of hydrovac slot trenching over conventional excavation involve both safety and cost savings. Hydrovac jobs are completed with greater accuracy and fewer problems while conventional excavation techniques involve excessive labor which may increase costs and create margin for error. Common errors that result from the conventional methods include irreversible damage to pipes, adding additional cost.
