HYDRO EXCAVATION & PNEUMATIC EXCAVATION
Hydro excavation is an excavation technique using pressurized water combined with a vacuum system. This allows the soil to be liquefied with great precision and then sucked into the tank of the vacuum truck. Ideal for quick access to underground facilities and urban infrastructure without danger. Unlike traditional excavation, hydro excavation allows you to work with great precision in a restricted place or with little access.
Pneumatic excavation is an excavation technique that uses pressurized air combined with a vacuum system. The soil is decomposed with great precision and then sucked into the tank of the truck. This technique makes it possible to avoid the contact of water with the ground and allows the reuse of the ground during the works.
AN EXPERIENCED TEAM EVEN IN THE MOST DIFFICULT CONDITIONS
OUR TRANSSHIPMENT CENTRE
Sanivac takes care of disposing it for you. We have a transshipment installation accredited by the Ministry of Environment here at Sanivac. This allows us to be much more efficient and reduces transport time.
