Hydro-Excavation
Hydro-Excavation = Safe Excavation
Hydro-Excavation utilizes pressurized water to break up the ground into small pieces. Then the ground is removed via air conveyance into a debris tank. Water is powerful enough to carve the Grand Canyon, yet it is gentle enough to wash a new-born baby. The technology provides a non-destructive means to safely locate utilities and precisely excavate an area. Hydro-Excavation is just another example of our innovative technology and a specialized technique that C.J. Erickson is experienced in performing for our clients.
Increased Quality & Minimized Disruption
In 2009 C.J. Erickson instituted a “Critical Dig” procedure for all underground work. Surface locating of utilities near or around a planned excavation is standard practice. We take this a step further by finding the utility at its underground location prior to any excavation with heavy equipment.
Now we can help with pot-holing, utility location, catch-basin cleaning, pre-construction surveys, fiber optic locating… the list is endless.
