Utility Excavation

Hydro Excavation Services for Utilities Work

Uncovering utility lines requires thought, care and precision. You don’t want damaged lines and you definitely don’t want to worry about anyone’s safety. With Valley Hydro-Excavation, faster, more precise and safer vacuum excavation strategies replace back-hoe buckets or excavators to carry out a variety of utilities work—including in frozen ground, covering long distances and around awkward obstacles.

Utility Excavation Services Include:

Underground Utility Locating

Before getting deeper into an excavation project like slot trenching, hydro excavation techniques can locate and safely expose underground utilities using water pressure and a powerful vacuum system.

Utility Pole Excavation

Vacuum excavation provides an efficient, effective method for utility pole excavation—often referred to as daylighting excavation or potholing excavation. For many utilities, it’s the safest and best way to dig holes for utility poles.

Directional Drill Mud Removal

When you need safe and effective support for drilling projects, including pipeline installation and the laying of cables by removing and disposing of mud, vacuum excavation is the accurate and cost-effective answer.

Slot Trenching

Vacuum excavation offers a level of safety and precision unmatched by more traditional digging methods, especially for substation excavations and vulnerable electrical grids.
