Hydro Excavation is the science of digging with water. HFS's Hydro Excavation process uses state-of-the-art mobile equipment, utilising a pressurised water and vacuuming process to dig a hole or area, eliminating the risk of damaging existing underground infrastructures such as power and fibre optic cables, sewer pipes, gas lines or any other services. Conventional methods of digging using diggers, and manual labour with shovels all risk damage that can physically harm operators and shut down construction or industrial projects, all requiring costly repairs. Hydro Excavation allows HFS operators to dig through clay, stony ground, terrain under concrete surfaces and even frozen ground. HFS's water/soil mixture is vacuumed into high capacity vac tanks and is dumped on or off-site, which minimises restoration costs associated with traditional digging. The process is repeated until the desired depth and width are achieved.
