Specialized Excavation
A precise, safe, and non-destructive excavation
Hydro excavation is a gentle and highly precise excavation method designed to operate effectively in complex or sensitive environments. At Sanivac, we offer specialized hydro excavation services that enable non-destructive, safe, and controlled excavation work. Using state-of-the-art equipment and proven field expertise, we meet the needs of projects requiring a high level of precision, enhanced protection of existing infrastructure, and intervention in confined or hard-to-access areas.
Precision excavation through hydro excavation
An ideal solution for sensitive and technical work
Hydro excavation removes soil using high-pressure water combined with a powerful vacuum system. This technique ensures controlled excavation with no mechanical impact on surrounding infrastructure.
Sanivac uses this method for work requiring millimeter-level precision, particularly for digging holes for form tubes, light foundations, and technical installations. This approach significantly reduces the risk of damage to underground utilities and ensures optimal control of the excavation, even in varying soil conditions.

Operations in confined and hard-to-access areas
Maximum flexibility through specialized equipment
Some worksites involve significant space constraints, particularly in dense urban, industrial, or residential environments. Sanivac has hydro excavation equipment that allows for effective operations in these restricted settings.
Thanks to telescopic booms reaching up to 28 feet and flexible hoses extending up to 500 feet, our teams can excavate at a distance from the truck, in confined areas or locations far from the access point. This flexibility allows work in backyards, inner courtyards, downtown areas, or complex industrial sites, without compromising performance or safety.
Preservation of underground infrastructure
A non-destructive and safe method
One of the main advantages of hydro excavation lies in its ability to preserve the integrity of underground infrastructure. Unlike traditional mechanical excavation, this method drastically reduces the risk of damaging gas lines, electrical cables, telecommunications networks, or water pipes.
By choosing hydro excavation, Sanivac contributes to worker safety, the protection of existing assets, and the reduction of costs associated with accidental damage and unforeseen repairs.
Clean, efficient, and well-controlled worksites
Optimal spoil management and reduced impact
Hydro excavation enables immediate management of excavated material through direct vacuum removal. This approach keeps the worksite clean, organized, and safe throughout the project. Reducing surface spoil limits disruption to surrounding areas, shortens post-work cleanup time, and improves overall operational flow. This level of efficiency is particularly valued on worksites where speed of execution and site cleanliness are essential.
Hydro excavation is an essential solution for projects requiring precision, safety, and flexibility. By entrusting your work to Sanivac, you benefit from a structured service, specialized equipment, and recognized expertise to meet the most complex excavation challenges.

Hydro excavation is a non-destructive excavation method that uses high-pressure water combined with a powerful vacuum system to precisely remove soil. This technique allows excavation without damaging existing underground infrastructure.
Hydro excavation is recommended when work requires a high level of precision or when sensitive underground utilities are present, such as gas lines, electrical cables, or telecommunications networks. It is also ideal for confined or hard-to-access areas.
Unlike mechanical excavation, hydro excavation does not aggressively cut through the soil. It allows for controlled excavation, reduces the risk of damage, improves worker safety, and lowers costs associated with repairing damaged infrastructure.
Yes. Sanivac’s hydro excavation equipment is designed to operate in confined areas thanks to telescopic booms reaching up to 28 feet and flexible hoses extending up to 500 feet. This allows work to be carried out efficiently even when the truck cannot be positioned directly over the excavation area.
Hydro excavation is used for several applications, including :
- digging holes for form tubes,
- the installation of fences and posts,
- the exposure of buried pipes and utility networks,
- work in urban, industrial, or municipal environments,
- operations requiring precise and safe excavation.
Sanivac offers recognized field expertise, high-performance specialized equipment, and a structured approach focused on safety, precision, and infrastructure protection. Our operations help reduce risks, optimize timelines, and maintain clean, well-controlled worksites.
