Our Hydrovac Fleet
DIGS Hydrovac operates a modern fleet of hydrovac excavation units designed to support construction, municipal infrastructure, telecommunications, and pipeline projects across Calgary and Western Canada.
Reliable equipment is essential for safe and efficient hydrovac excavation. Our fleet has been built with a focus on performance, reliability, and the ability to operate in demanding environments where accurate excavation around underground utilities is critical.
DIGS Hydrovac has invested in new hydrovac equipment to support the growing demand for safe excavation across infrastructure, energy, telecommunications, and residential development projects.
Modern Hydrovac Excavation Equipment
DIGS Hydrovac operates Tri Drive Tornado F4 EcoLite hydrovac units designed to deliver powerful vacuum performance while maintaining efficiency and reliability on active construction sites.
These hydrovac units are engineered to safely expose underground utilities using pressurized water and vacuum removal. This non destructive excavation method allows contractors to verify underground conditions before trenching, drilling, or infrastructure installation begins.
Our equipment is capable of supporting a wide range of excavation activities including:
By operating modern hydrovac equipment, DIGS Hydrovac ensures contractors have reliable excavation support when working around sensitive underground infrastructure.
Built for Alberta Construction Conditions
Construction projects across Alberta often take place in challenging environments where soil conditions, weather, and site access can vary significantly.
DIGS Hydrovac operates equipment capable of performing excavation across a wide range of conditions including urban construction sites, infrastructure corridors, pipeline rights of way, and residential developments.
Ground conditions in Calgary and surrounding areas can vary depending on location and proximity to river valleys. Some areas contain smooth soils that allow excavation to proceed efficiently, while others contain dense clay or river rock that requires powerful excavation equipment.
Our fleet is designed to handle these varying ground conditions safely while maintaining controlled excavation around underground utilities.
Winter Hydrovac Excavation Capability
Hydrovac excavation continues throughout winter months across Alberta. Construction and infrastructure projects often require excavation during frozen ground conditions.
DIGS Hydrovac operates equipment equipped with heated water systems that allow our crews to safely break through frozen ground and continue excavation operations throughout the winter season.
This capability allows contractors and infrastructure teams to maintain project schedules even during challenging winter conditions.
Remote Hose Excavation Capability
Many excavation projects require work in areas where hydrovac trucks cannot access the exact excavation location. These situations often occur in tight urban environments, behind buildings, inside structures, or within confined construction corridors.
DIGS Hydrovac equipment supports remote hose excavation that allows our crews to perform excavation safely from extended distances away from the truck.
This capability allows hydrovac excavation to be performed in areas where traditional excavation equipment cannot safely operate.
Remote hose excavation is frequently used for infrastructure work, facility maintenance, and excavation inside buildings or tight construction environments.
Supporting Growing Infrastructure Demand
Demand for hydrovac excavation continues to grow across Alberta and Western Canada as construction projects increasingly require safe excavation around complex underground infrastructure.
As cities expand and infrastructure networks become more congested, hydrovac excavation plays a critical role in safely exposing utilities before mechanical excavation begins.
DIGS Hydrovac continues to invest in modern hydrovac equipment to support this growing demand and ensure contractors have reliable excavation support on their projects.
Our fleet is positioned to support projects across multiple industries including construction, municipal infrastructure, telecommunications, pipeline, and residential development.
