Precision Digging, Expertly Operated

Hydro excavation is a non-destructive digging method that uses pressurized water and a powerful vacuum system to safely remove soil and expose underground utilities.

Hydro excavation offers greater precision, improved safety, reduced utility damage risk, less surface disruption, and lower restoration costs compared to traditional mechanical excavation methods.

Yes. Unlike traditional excavation methods that use heavy equipment and metal buckets, hydro excavation uses pressurized water and vacuum technology to safely expose underground utilities with significantly less risk of damage.

Hydro excavation is one of the safest methods available for locating and exposing underground utilities.

Yes. Hydro excavation is widely used around electric, gas, communications, and other underground utilities because it minimizes the risk of damage associated with mechanical excavation.

Hydro excavation is commonly used by utility contractors, municipalities, construction companies, telecommunications providers, industrial facilities, transportation agencies, and energy companies.

PKX hydro excavation equipment is capable of reaching digging depths of up to 35 feet.

Yes. Hydro excavation removes only the material necessary to expose underground infrastructure, reducing restoration requirements and downtime.

Daylighting is the process of safely exposing underground utilities to visually confirm their location before construction or excavation begins.

Potholing is the process of exposing a small section of underground infrastructure to verify its location, depth, and condition before excavation or construction activities begin.

Yes. PKX's hydro excavation equipment utilizes heated water systems designed to efficiently excavate frozen ground conditions.
