Throughout various construction and utility applications, hydrovac trucks are becoming increasingly deployed by work crews to carry out excavation work in a safer, more precise, and more efficient way. Hydro excavation is often the preferred choice over more mechanical and labor-intensive traditional approaches. In addition to large, production-style trucks, the market now offers smaller hydrovacs that are ideal for a special work conditions.
Hole Higz aims to provide hydrovac services at a superior standard of quality and safety. It is essential for us to maintain a fleet of trucks that meets various excavation needs. We strive to do each job both safely and correctly. Every truck is engineered to be safe, durable, and productive. This enables us to manage hydrovac construction tasks at the highest level of performance and the lowest level of risk.
Not all excavation projects at a construction or utility work site are best served by smaller hydrovac trucks. However, there are some very specific applications for which small hydrovacs are ideal. While larger trucks are best for jobs involving long trenches or bulk excavation, smaller hydrovacs are often utilized for projects that require utility daylighting.
A smaller hydrovac truck can also operate better in busy city or residential areas, where there's typically not big open spaces for crews to operate. It's also the chosen option for excavation sites that are limited by overhead obstructions like high-voltage lines, which can present major safety hazards for the construction team. A smaller truck helps mitigate these risks and also has greater maneuverability.
A smaller hydrovac truck is an excellent addition to a fleet of larger vehicles. It enables access where larger trucks might have difficulty negotiating the space.
