Hydrovac Services

Non-destructive excavation: the safest way to dig near live infrastructure.

01 / OVERVIEW

Built by our own crews.

High-pressure water and industrial vacuum expose underground utilities without risk of strike or damage. We run hydrovac in support of our own HDD and civil crews and as a standalone service for utility owners, including cold-weather and remote-site work across Alberta.

Because we also build fiber, electrical and civil scopes, our operators understand what they are exposing and what a damaged duct costs downstream. That is the difference between a hole in the right place and a claim, and it is why hydrovac is the only acceptable method inside the tolerance zone of high-voltage cable, gas and fiber.

Emergency callouts run 24/7. When a locate is wrong or a line is struck, we mobilise, expose the damage safely and support the restoration crew on the same shift.
