Hydro Excavating

Hydro-excavation utilizes high-pressure water along with vacuum to provide a safe and efficient alternative to traditional excavation methods.  Underground utilities such as gas and water lines, telephone and fiber optic-cables, hydro-cables, etc. can be located and exposed without chance of damage eliminating potential costly repairs.  This method is extremely useful in the cold climate with the ability to cut through frost quickly saving wear and tear on the equipment that  use mechanical methods.  Traditional excavation methods can create undue damage to trees and landscaping in residential areas.  Hydro-excavation allows for remote operation of up to 150 meters in critical or difficult to access areas with virtually no damage to the surrounding environment. 

Uni-Jet has developed a specially designed shoring system for minimizing large excavations in developed areas or unstable soil conditions.  This allows for the shoring to be continuously lowered into the excavation while keeping the hole to minimum size.  After the excavation is completed a worker can safely enter the shoring, perform any required repairs, remove the shoring, and backfill.
