Hydrovac Services
Full-Service Vacuum Excavation, Utility Potholing & Hydrovac Services
Vacuum excavation provides a non-destructive method for safely and efficiently locating and exposing underground utilities. Once a small hole is cut in the surface, pressurized air is used to break up the soil while a high pressure vacuum unit is used to remove the debris depositing it into the storage tank. This method has become the industry standard for digging very precise potholes with virtually no risk of damaging utilities. With Damage Prevention everyone benefits.
Vacuum Excavation Services
Vacuum Excavation, also known as Hydrovac Excavation, is an efficient process for soil removal that combines pressurized water with a high-powered industrial vacuum. This precise, non-mechanical, and non-destructive method simultaneously excavates and evacuates soil. As the pressurized water breaks up the soil, it turns into a slurry which is then rapidly removed by the vacuum into a debris tank
Safe Site provides Vacuum Excavation & Hydrovac Services to customers in Arizona & Nevada. Safe Site's hydrovacs are designed for efficiency and precision in excavating across diverse soil types and challenging environmental conditions. This includes clay, hard-packed earth, and even frozen soil. They are also adept at operating in remote areas or sites with restricted access.
Utility potholing
What is Utility Potholing?
Potholing, also referred to as Daylighting, Vacuum Excavation, or Hydrovac Excavation, is a key method for safely identifying the precise location of underground utilities. This technique involves creating small, non-destructive test holes to accurately determine the horizontal and vertical positions of various underground facilities. The goal of potholing is to gather detailed information about the location, depth, length, and dimensions of different utilities. This is crucial for safe excavation and for designing new or proposed underground infrastructure.
SLOT TRENCHING
What is Slot Trenching?
Slot trenching involves the use of hydro excavation, a precise and controlled method, to dig narrow trenches to exact depths. This method is ideal for a range of tasks including the installation of underground pipes, cables, signs, and posts. Additionally, slot trenching is employed for perimeter (exploratory) slot trenching, uncovering existing cables or conduits, installing new cables or conduits, setting up drain tiles, and repairing line faults. Its precision is particularly beneficial in densely packed utility areas, like utility corridors, ensuring safe and accurate digging."
POLE CLEARING HOLES
What are Pole Clearing Holes?
Safe Site specializes in digging and excavating holes for various purposes, catering to diverse needs in pole and pile installations. Our services include digging for utility pole holes, traffic signal pole holes, light standard holes, signpost holes, and transmission pole holes. Additionally, we handle pole removals and are skilled in creating end-bearing piles, pilot holes for friction piles, spread footing piles, and well-monitor installations. Each hole is carefully excavated to specific diameters and depths to suit the unique requirements of these applications.
What is Hydro Excavation?
Hydro Vacuum Excavation: Optimal for Hard Soil and Dry Conditions. This technique, perfect for uncovering underground utilities, combines high-pressure water and a high-speed vacuum for unmatched efficiency. Hydro Excavation is recognized as the most effective vacuum excavation method, particularly suitable for the hard soil and dry conditions prevalent in Arizona and Nevada. It uses water to soften the soil's firm grip, facilitating easy breakage and removal. The method efficiently vacuums up the loosened soil, transferring the debris to a storage tank. While Hydro Excavation's wet excavation process makes the spoil material unsuitable for immediate reuse in refilling, its precision and effectiveness in challenging soil conditions make it an ideal choice for a variety of excavation projects
What is Air Vacuum Excavation ?
A Safe and Efficient Technique for Underground Utility Work. This process utilizes compressed air to loosen soil, which is then swiftly vacuumed into a debris tank. Renowned for its safety and precision, air excavation is the go-to method for safely exposing underground utilities. Its use of compressed air ensures minimal disruption to the surroundings, making it ideal for delicate or congested utility areas. The process also allows for convenient backfilling with the dry, excavated material, ensuring a clean and efficient work site.
