Industries we Serve

DIGS Hydrovac supports a wide range of industries that rely on safe and precise excavation around buried infrastructure. Our hydrovac services help reduce risk, protect underground assets, and support efficient project execution across Alberta.

Different industries face different excavation challenges. Hydrovac excavation provides a controlled and non destructive method that supports safer work in utility dense and high consequence environments.

Construction and Commercial Development

Construction projects often require excavation near existing utilities before foundation work, trenching, or site development. Hydrovac excavation allows utilities to be safely exposed and confirmed before major ground disturbance begins.

General contractors and developers use hydrovac services to reduce the risk of utility strikes, delays, and rework. Controlled excavation also helps keep sites cleaner and more organized.

Utilities and Power

Utility providers depend on safe excavation when maintaining, upgrading, or installing infrastructure. Hydrovac excavation allows buried services to be exposed carefully without mechanical contact.

This is especially important around live gas, electrical, water, and communications lines.

Pipeline and Energy

Pipeline and energy projects involve strict safety expectations and sensitive infrastructure. Hydrovac excavation is widely used to expose pipelines, valves, and facilities for inspection, tie ins, and maintenance.

Controlled excavation helps protect coatings and reduce the risk of damage to active lines.

Municipal Infrastructure

Municipalities rely on hydrovac excavation for water, sewer, and roadway projects. Targeted excavation helps reduce surface disturbance and restoration requirements.

Hydrovac is frequently used in urban environments where underground congestion is common.

Telecommunications and Fiber

Telecommunications projects often take place in congested utility corridors. Hydrovac excavation helps safely expose existing lines and create controlled excavations for new installations.

This reduces the risk of damaging fiber and communications infrastructure.

Residential and Homebuilding

Homebuilders use hydrovac excavation for service connections, sump pits, trenching support, and utility exposure on residential sites.

Hydrovac is especially useful in developed neighborhoods where multiple utilities are present and space is limited.
