Hydro excavation is the science of digging with water. Our self-contained trucks dig with 2000-3000 PSI water, forced through a steel lance and small stationary or rotating nozzles. We then vacuum the resulting water and soil slurry through an eight inch vacuum line into a debris tank to be dumped at the end of the day. Our excavations are clean, precise and ready for inspecting or whatever further work is required, and our operators are thoroughly safety-trained. We uncover pipeline, phone lines, fiber optics - and anything else buried up to 30 feet underground - quickly, safely, and without damaging any expensive or hazardous lines. We do potholing, slot trenching, or whatever non-destructive excavation services are needed - even swimming pools! We can also dig up to 250 feet away if need be.
Green Technology has been defined as any process that conserves the natural environment and resources, and curbs the negative impacts of human involvement. H2X’s technology of hydro excavation fits the description very well. Our process minimizes the disruption to the environment, keeping excavations to a minimal size and allowing easier reclamation when excavation and utility work is complete. It also uses clean water and confines debris to localized areas, eliminating runoff. Most important, H2X keeps all other excavation work safer, reducing the possibility of spills, accidents and injury – to the environment and to humans operating in that environment.
