oldHydrovac Excavating

Hydrovac excavation combines pressurized water with powerful vacuum equipment to remove soil without relying on conventional mechanical digging around existing utilities. This allows crews to expose buried infrastructure while helping reduce the risk of damage and unnecessary ground disturbance.

CC Underground uses hydrovac equipment for projects involving underground utilities, utility locating and daylighting, trenching, slot trenching, sewer and water infrastructure, remediation, and other excavation requirements. Our approach can be especially useful where existing infrastructure, restricted access, or sensitive surroundings make conventional excavation more challenging.

With hydrovac trucks and flusher trucks available, our team can support projects requiring excavation, material removal, cleanup, and hauling. We work with project teams to understand site conditions and provide excavation support suited to the scope of the work.

Hydrovac Services We Provide

Utility Daylighting : Hydrovac excavation can be used to carefully expose existing gas, hydro, fibre, water, and sewer utilities before construction or excavation proceeds.

Slot Trenching : For projects requiring narrow trenches for cables, conduits, or pipes, hydrovac excavation can remove soil while limiting the width of the excavation area.

Sanitary Sewer & Catch Basin Cleaning : Hydrovac and flusher equipment can support the cleaning and removal of debris from catch basins, manholes, sewer lines, and wet wells.

Spill Response & Contaminated Soil Removal : Hydrovac equipment can assist with the recovery of contaminated soil and liquids during environmental response and remediation work, with material handled for appropriate disposal.

Hi-Rail Hydrovac : For work within active or restricted rail corridors, hydrovac equipment can support daylighting, potholing, and excavation where conventional road equipment may not be suitable.

Why Hydrovac Excavation Helps

When underground infrastructure is already present, knowing approximately where a utility is located may not be enough. Hydrovac excavation provides a controlled way to expose buried infrastructure before construction or excavation continues.

Using water and vacuum instead of direct mechanical digging can help reduce the likelihood of utility strikes, limit unnecessary soil disturbance, improve visibility of existing infrastructure, and provide access in confined or difficult areas.

This makes hydrovac excavation a practical option for utility contractors, municipalities, developers, general contractors, telecommunications projects, rail work, and infrastructure construction across Ontario.
