Hydro Excavation & Non-Destructive Digging

Hydro excavation is a digging method that uses pressurised water to loosen soil and an industrial vacuum to remove it, exposing or excavating around underground services with a lower risk of damage than mechanical digging.

Hydro excavation is one of the most common forms of non-destructive digging (NDD). The terms are often used together because both describe methods that expose services without direct mechanical contact.
