Hydrovac is the non-destructive solution that keeps your project moving and your crew protected.
Dig Safe. Dig Smart.
Hydrovac excavation is a non-mechanical, non-destructive method of digging that uses pressurized water to break up soil, which is then vacuumed into a debris tank. This allows for safe exposure of buried utilities without damaging them, making it the go-to method for utility locating, daylighting, slot trenching, and excavation in high-risk areas.
At GCS Group, our hydrovac trucks are operated by skilled technicians trained to handle everything from simple potholing to complex excavation near live lines, frozen ground, or sensitive environmental zones.
