J7 Contractors now offers Mobile “Potholing” Services, using the Hydro-Vacuum Excavation Process.
Hydro-Vacuum Excavation is a safe, economical option for excavation. This is a non-destructive process using high pressure air & water to break-up the ground and a high powered suction to remove the dirt, mud, rock, etc. all at the same time, leaving a clean trench with a clear view of the infrastructure beneath the soil. This process lowers the risk of damages and accidents to the environment, the infrastructure and our employees.
The Value of Hydro-Vacuum Excavation:
- This non-destructive process lowers the cost of restoring the dig site
- This safer process increases worker’s productivity by :
- Lowering the risk of damages to the underground utilities, etc. therefore reducing the number of repairs
- Lowering the risk of accidents to employees /workers therefore reducing the number of injuries
Other Advantages of Hydro-Vacuum Excavation:
- The ability to excavate almost anywhere. With our mobile unit we can maneuver to remote/ unapproachable areas, such as swampy and deep wooded areas by towing the VacTron unit in with Track-Equipment.
- The ability to Excavate up to 300’ away from environmental sensitive areas.
- The ability to safely remove the ground in and around areas with high volume of pipeline infrastructure, such as compressor stations & manifolds.
- The ability to excavate up to 20 ft. beneath the surface.
- The ability to assist bigger/ heavier equipment by spotting lines and excavating in areas that taller equipment have trouble maneuvering around, such as low power lines and other low overhead obstructions.
