$3.05M Penalty: Olympic Pipeline

The stiff penalties that result from violation of increasingly strict pipeline safety laws and regulations are one reason why hydrovac services and air excavation services are sweeping the globe as the safest, most cost-efficient alternative to traditional backhoe and trackhoe excavation processes that pose enormous risks to subsurface infrastructures.

Collection of Material
 
The material collects in a closed-container body also mounted on the truck. Once the tank becomes full, the vacuum system shuts off. The spoils are then dumped out of the container just like a dump truck.
 
Disposal of Material

Where the material is dumped depends on the type of material. Generally, it is just mud, so it is taken to a dirt landfill where it dries out over a couple of days and is often sold as backfill material.

However, if the material is "hot" (possibly contaminated) it cannot be taken to a regular dirt landfill.

 
 
Hot material is typically collected from excavation sites in an oil, gas or chemical plant.

Ninety-nine percent of the time,
the plant will have its own dumpsite within the facility. When this is the case, the disposal process is no different than dumping at a regular dirt landfill.

In other scenarios, the material bypasses the truck-mounted tank and is vacuumed directly into a closed-container vacuum box.

The material is later hauled off to an authorized waste treatment facility for proper disposal. 
Quality Operators
 
Don't be fooled! Not every contractor will necessarily give your hydro excavation project the expert support it needs.

It takes an experienced team of hydro excavators that is well-trained, committed to safety, understands the scope of work and is able to provide quick, accurate estimates that you can rely upon when bidding on projects.

HYDRO EXCAVATION
Hydro Excavation is cutting-edge Green Technology that uses pressurized water to safely and surgically convert solid ground into mud that is simultaneously sucked up by a powerful
truck-mounted vacuum system.

The entire process is safe, non-destructive and extremely
cost-efficient, particularly when contractors need to verify or resolve critical underground utility conflicts.
