Vacuum Excavation Benefits
Our fleet of vacuum excavation trucks and trailers excavate native fill material down to existing utilities. Vacuum excavating can verify the location of conflicting utilities and can be used by engineers looking to design new utilities around existing infrastructure. Many of our units have an on-board core saw, making utility locating possible in hard surface locations.
Fleet
The vacuum excavation fleet at Loy Clark consists of 16 hydrovac units and is complimented with an assortment of trailer mounted vacuum units. Our trailer mounted units can perform the same functions as the trucks, including HDD mud removal, and are able to get to areas that are less accessible to the large trucks.
