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

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

Method
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
Live
High-voltage cables, gas mains, and pressurized lines exposed without contact risk.
Sensitive
Cuts to a fiber run are six-figure outages. We expose them without touching them.
Critical
Footings, piles, and walls exposed for inspection without disturbing the structural envelope.
Capabilities
Targeted vacuum excavation confirms the exact position and depth of buried utilities before any major excavation begins.

01 — Potholing & DaylightingTargeted vacuum excavation confirms the exact position and depth of buried utilities before any major excavation begins.
02 — Utility Conflict ResolveExpose crossing or parallel utilities at conflict points to confirm clearances and enable safe dig plans on complex sites.
03 — Foundation ExposureNon-destructive exposure of footings, piles, and foundation walls for inspection, waterproofing, or structural assessment.
04 — Pre-Construction VerifyPothole key utility positions before construction starts — eliminating strike risk during mechanical excavation phases.
05 — Repair & Tie-In AccessSafe exposure of buried pipe and conduit for repair connections, taps, or inspection — no cutting tools near live utilities.
06 — Contaminated Soil RemovalControlled vacuum extraction of contaminated material in sensitive zones where mechanical excavation cannot safely operate.
