NDE excavation

Expose it.Untouched.

Non-destructive exposure of underground utilities across British Columbia. Zero strikes. Every time.

Zero strikes. Five years running.

Water cuts.Vacuum lifts.

Hydrovac is the only excavation method that physically cannot strike a live line. High-pressure water breaks soil. Vacuum removes spoil. Buried infrastructure stays intact. We confirm before we dig — and we don't dig with blades.

No blades. No strikes. No surprises.

Method

No blades. No strikes. No surprises.

Around live gas, fiber, and high-voltage electrical, conventional excavation is a liability. Our hydrovac units expose utilities cleanly and precisely — at ±2cm accuracy. The utility comes out the way it went in.

What we expose

Safely.Precisely.Every time.

Live

Gas & electrical

High-voltage cables, gas mains, and pressurized lines exposed without contact risk.

Sensitive

Fiber & telecom

Cuts to a fiber run are six-figure outages. We expose them without touching them.

Critical

Foundations

Footings, piles, and walls exposed for inspection without disturbing the structural envelope.

Capabilities

Any utility.No damage done.

Potholing & Daylighting

Targeted vacuum excavation confirms the exact position and depth of buried utilities before any major excavation begins.
