Delivering safe, consistent, above standard & reliable HYDROVAC service

Incorporated in 1997 and commencing hydro-excavating activities in the spring of 1998, Hydrodig^TM has become one of North America’s leading hydrovac companies with Canadian service locations in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario as well as with USA locations in Denver, CO and Dallas, TX.

Hydrodig^TM undertook initial Western Canada expansion in 2000 with the creation of an owner / operator network of hydrovac service providers. In 2009, Hydrodig^TM created its first international entity, Hydrodig^TM USA LLC. With locations from Vancouver BC to Ottawa ON and the exposure in the USA, Hydrodig^TM can provide safe, efficient, and cost effective solutions to any excavation project with our unique single axle, 4×4 hydro-excavating units.

Numerous terms are associated with this activity: potholing, daylighting, hydro-trenching, hydrovacing and non-destructive excavating to name a few.

Simply put, hydro-excavation is the process of utilizing high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum system to excavate. A high pressure water stream loosens the earth and other debris while simultaneously removing and storing the slurry within the onboard vacuum system. This precision orientated activity is predominately used to expose underground infrastructure while determining/proving its precise location OR its non-existence within a proposed excavation area.

All in a safe, non-destructive fashion. Examples of underground infrastructure include oil and gas pipelines, water pipelines, sewer pipelines, fiber optic cables, and power and television cables just to name a few.
