Benefits
On many
projects the task of excavating around utilities may constitute only 1% of
the entire job even though the time involved to safely hand dig and verify
the location of buried utilities can often take much longer than originally
estimated. Because of the time and
risks involved to dig safely, many contractors are discovering that
sub-contracting is a cost effective solution that eliminates risk and
increases productivity. When
your company begins on a new project, are any of the following ever a
concern? Ø extreme underground
utility congestion Ø inaccurate or unmarked surface locates Ø the risk of damaging buried utilities Ø restoration costs resulting from excavation Ø digging through frost Ø safety of personnel Ø valuable employees time wasted hand digging around
utilities Each of the above concerns can be satisfied through the
technology of hydro-excavation. The
non-destructive nature of the hydrovac service allows for safe exposure of
pipes, cables, conduits, and coatings while ensuring the integrity of
facilities and safety of field personnel.
Inaccurate surface locates are no longer a concern because of the ease
and speed with which the Hydrovac can slot trench in either direction to
visually confirm a buried line. And
when dealing with Hydro-Vac, Inc., Ground disturbance is minimized and
restoration costs are greatly reduced. The potential consequences of damage from conventional
digging methods to buried facilities range from minor service disruptions to
catastrophic state of affairs. If
you’re concerned about digging around utilities, Hydro-Vac, Inc. can
eliminate the risks below for your company in addition to many others. Overtime charges Repair and cleanup costs Ground restoration costs Wear and tear of equipment when trying to excavate
