Potholing Service
Dig Fearlessly If you need to dig holes near underground utilities or pipes – or worse, need to dig where you think underground utilities may be – GC Infrastructure’s hydrovac potholing approach will allow you to do so without fear of damage. We do so while maintaining full safety and integrity of established structures.
If you need to dig holes near underground utilities or pipes – or worse, need to dig where you think underground utilities may be – GC Infrastructure’s hydrovac potholing approach will allow you to do so without fear of damage. We do so while maintaining full safety and integrity of established structures.
First, we distinguish where any established underground utilities are located. Next, we utilize our hydrovac truck to begin the dig, creating a pothole via a high-pressure water vacuum tube. We then continue to excavate until we locate the utility or pipe. However, if the exact location of an underground structure is not known, we may need to conduct window trenching. Window trenching safely creates a “window” into the ground, so that we can determine any utilities which pass through that span.
The flexibility and safety measures involved in potholing and window trenching offers a fast, precise, and safe method of creating anchor points for new structures – without compromising established structures. The positives provided by this method can prove both cost-effective and much safer than traditional digging methods. For instance, you drastically reduce the risk of cutting into or compromising an electrical line. Yet while doing so you still drastically reduce the amount of soil displaced and eroded, creating a safer environment overall.
Safety Above All Else
Our employees took the time – sometimes years – to earn safety certifications, so they know how to keep every job site error-free. And because of the precise nature of hydrovac, we can help you avoid any accidents, injuries, or worse.
