Hydrovac equipment can be utilized as a best practice for all infrastructure projects, whether they be safe excavation around utilities, debris removal, trench digging or backfill restoration. Commercially, hydrovac equipment is often used to safely dig up portions of roads and highways that require resurfacing. When used for trench digging, hydrovac trucks will efficiently locate or install utility lines by digging precise holes to various depths and sizes with ease. No matter what the project, it is important to take into account safety procedures and best practices when using hydrovac equipment.

Large-diameter sewer cleaning requires increased water flows due to increased pipe flow, debris levels, pipe lengths and manhole depths.
