Hydro Excavation
At ATL NDD & Tank Cleaning, we specialise in hydro excavation, providing clients with a safe and efficient method of excavating near underground services or locating underground services. Whether you are seeking to expose underground utilities like cables, pipes, and drainage systems without causing damage or exposing workers to potential catastrophic ricks, digging holes for fencing or trenching for foundations and pipe / cable laying, ATL have the solution for you, no fuss and no mess.
Hydro excavation involves using a high-pressure water stream to break up soil, which is then removed by a vacuum system. This non-invasive technique provides a safer alternative to traditional mechanical excavation, especially in projects where workers may be exposed to underground infrastructure and must be protected, as well as eliminating damage to the same underground infrastructure. Hydro excavation is the ideal method of excavation for sensitive projects.
Our hydro excavation trenching service is perfect for creating narrow trenches to install utilities like electrical and communications cables, gas lines, and water pipes. This method avoids disturbing underground structures, making it a safer alternative to traditional digging.
Potholing, also known as daylighting, is used to safely expose underground utilities for locating, inspections, maintenance, or repairs. This is particularly important for projects where knowing the exact location of pipes, cables, or other underground infrastructure is essential to avoid costly damage, hazard exposure and consequential delays.
Hydro excavation is also effective for removing redundant and waste material such as soil, mud, water or other materials, from difficult-to-access areas. This service can be used in tight or sensitive environments where traditional equipment might cause damage or is not suitable for the conditions.
Accurate utilities locating is critical for any excavation project. Our hydro excavation process allows us to pinpoint and expose underground utilities without causing harm, providing peace of mind and reducing the risk of costly mistakes and safety during excavation.
