Pipes laid clear with hydro-excavation. No chance of breakage!

Hopefully, at some point in time, you’ll need to expand your business. This could mean relocating to a larger building, but it might also mean remodeling or expanding your existing space.

Perfectly laid plans can be scrapped in a heartbeat when an important utility line is found in the wrong place. Or even worse you get into the middle of the expansion, hit a line and have a major crisis on your hands, as water, sewage, electricity, or cable services stop in a heartbeat. You could also have quite a large mess, and even an explosion if natural gas lines accidentally get hit.

One way to avoid such catastrophes is through a process call hydro-excavation. This is an amazing process where they use water to excavate pipelines or utilities, or put in trenches for new lines. They can use it to locate all the lines before you start your plans, too. It is non-destructive and cost-effective. You don’t have to worry about any broken lines. Water is used to break up the soil and that soil is then pumped into a debris tank. This means less backfill, restoration, and labor. It is also more environmentally friendly that traditional digging methods.

The oil and gas industries in west Texas have found hydro-excavation to be a great way to nondestructively locate pipelines for replacement or repair. You know if they’re using a service such as this, it must be safe and cost-effective. Just be certain the company you work with has trained technicians to ensure proper use of the equipment for your particular needs.
