Hydro-excavation and Daylighting

Hydro-excavation is a method that is used to remove water from underground areas. It is a non-invasive method that utilizes water to wash out the area, without causing any harm. Hydro-excavation devices, which can be found on Vac-Con hydro excavator can be employed in a variety of situations. They are a great tool for natural disasters, construction projects as well as other emergencies. Hydro-excavation is also cost-efficient, non-invasive procedure that can be employed in many ways.

This section will discuss hydro-excavation and its advantages in emergencies.

How to use hydro excavation during natural disasters

Flooding during natural disasters can cause serious damage to property and create difficulties for people to access their homes. Hydro excavation is the process of using pressure water to dig through mud, sand and other materials that makes it the ideal solution in these circumstances.

How does hydro excavation work?

First, the equipment creates a hole in soil.

Then the water is pumped through an elongated pipe (which can be vertical or horizontal vertical depending on the circumstance) at a pressure. The water is directed by this pipe through the length of a hose which lets it flow freely down toward the drilling equipment. When the drill is brought down in the water it’s possible to hear a roar of water flowing from the pipe that is above.

What can be the use of hydro-excavation for construction?

Hydro-excavation uses high-pressure water to dig into the ground and eliminate soil and rock. The process is often employed in construction projects to remove the requirement for heavy equipment such as excavators, cranes and trucks. You can find hydro-excavation machines on hydro excavation trucks along with information and advice on how to use the machines effectively.
