Hydro and pneumatic excavation
Hydro-excavation
Hydro excavation is an excavation technique that uses pressurized water combined with a vacuum system. The soil is liquefied with great precision and then sucked into the truck’s tank.
Pneumatic excavation
Pneumatic excavation is an excavation technique that uses pressurized air combined with a vacuum system. The soil is broken down with great precision, then safely sucked into the truck’s tank.
