Non-Destructive Excavation
Vacuum Excavation & Soft Dig Services
Safely expose underground utilities and perform test pits with our advanced Vacuum Excavator technology. Precision digging for Connecticut's complex job sites.
What is "Soft Dig" Technology?
Traditional excavation carries the risk of striking underground gas lines, fiber optics, or water pipes. Vacuum Excavation (often called "Soft Dig" or Hydro Excavation) eliminates that risk.
Using high-pressure air or water to loosen the soil and a powerful industrial vacuum to extract it, we can surgically remove earth around sensitive infrastructure without ever touching the pipes.
- Zero Damage: Safe around fiber, gas, and electric.
- Precision: Dig small, deep holes with surgical accuracy.
- Clean: Debris is stored directly in the Vacuum Truck tank.
Capabilities & Applications
Our Vacuum Excavator is versatile. Whether you need to locate utilities or clear debris from a catch basin, we have the power to get it done.
Test Pits
Before you dig, you need to know exactly where the utilities are. We perform safe, rapid test pits to verify depth and location of underground lines.
Slot Trenching
Need to run a narrow conduit? We can dig narrow trenches with minimal ground disturbance, reducing backfill and restoration costs.
Debris Removal
Our high-power vacuum truck can clear catch basins, manholes, and culverts quickly, removing sludge, water, and debris.
Remote Digging
Can't get a machine to the spot? Our vacuum hoses can reach up to hundreds of feet away to excavate in tight or indoor spaces.
Utility Pole Holes
Dig deep, perfectly round holes for utility poles or signs without disturbing the surrounding pavement or landscape.
Emergency Response
Available for water main breaks and emergency exposure needs where mechanical excavation is too risky.
