Better & safer excavation

The hydro excavating technique uses high water pressure and suction to dig into the ground using a water jet, then accumulate the liquefied soil and suck it into the tank of a vacuum truck. We have bulk materials available to fill holes when needed.

The water and suction excavation technique is very effective, without compromising on precision. It takes then less effort from workers and less time, making the cost of execution less significant. You get increased safety, and better results.

Daylighting excavation or potholing

Sometimes shortened to “daylighting”, this type of excavation is used in the construction field to safely expose underground infrastructure, such as cables or conduits, without damaging them. This method involves removing soil in a non-destructive manner using hydro-excavation, and then avoids, among other things, the risks of gas leaks and power outages caused by more traditional excavation methods.

Klondike environmental is the business to call for daylighting excavation in Ottawa / Gatineau.

Utility poles and fence excavation

Hydrovac excavation is the ideal method for digging holes for telephone poles, holes for fences, or road/ads signs precisely and safely. Faster than traditional excavation methods, hydrovac leaves a clean site ready for installation of your poles. Choose a modern, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for all your excavation projects.
