Hydro excavation is a modern technique that is becoming increasingly popular due to the significant benefits that it provides.

While traditional excavation tools and methods worked well, there was a higher impact on the environment, as well as higher risks related to accidents such as damaging underground utilities, etc. Besides, excavating in cold weather was particularly challenging and the process caused a lot of pollution.

With hydro excavation, things are easier and much more efficient. There is reduced likelihood of accidents and contamination, and it requires less effort to break the frozen soil.

Using vacuum trucks Florida has to offer is the best choice for winter excavation because you do not need to worry about thawing the soil first. The truck is equipped with water heating technology that makes things considerably easier, reducing labor and material costs. The pressure of the water can also be adjusted to suit the environmental conditions. This way water can penetrate as deep into the soil as you need, notwithstanding the frost.

Hydrovacs can also be reinforced to tackle tricky winter terrain. When they are taken to difficult areas on snowy and icy roads, they can be equipped with special tires and chains to improve mobility and traction.
