DIGS Hydrovac supports pipeline and energy projects across Western Canada with professional non destructive excavation. If your project requires safe exposure of buried infrastructure, our team is ready to assist.

Hydrovac excavation for pipeline and energy projects requiring safe exposure of lines, facilities, and critical infrastructure.

Pipeline and Energy Hydrovac Services

DIGS Hydrovac provides controlled hydrovac excavation services supporting pipeline and energy projects across Calgary, Edmonton, and Western Canada. Working around active pipelines, facilities, and regulated infrastructure requires precision, safety, and experienced operators.

Hydrovac excavation allows buried infrastructure to be safely exposed without damaging protective coatings or surrounding systems, supporting safe and efficient project execution.

Pipeline Exposure and Integrity Digs

Pipeline Exposure and Integrity Digs

Hydrovac excavation is widely used in pipeline operations for:

  • Integrity digs

  • Coating inspections

  • Valve and fitting exposure

  • Crossing verification

  • Line depth confirmation

  • Tie in preparation

Using non destructive excavation methods, pipelines can be exposed with precision while minimizing risk to the asset and surrounding environment.

Facility and Industrial Site Support

Facility and Industrial Site Support

Energy facilities often contain dense underground infrastructure including utilities, drainage systems, electrical services, and process lines.

Hydrovac excavation supports:

  • Facility upgrades

  • Maintenance work

  • Expansion projects

  • Underground verification prior to mechanical excavation

Our remote hose capability allows excavation in tight access areas, including within industrial facilities where traditional equipment positioning may be limited.

Drilling and Crossing Support

Before directional drilling or boring begins, confirming underground conditions is critical. Hydrovac daylighting and potholing allow crews to verify utility location and depth prior to drilling operations.

This reduces the likelihood of unexpected conflicts and supports safer execution in regulated environments.

Safety and Compliance for Energy Projects

Pipeline and energy work requires contractors to meet strict safety and compliance standards. DIGS Hydrovac maintains:

  • COR certification

  • Avetta registration

  • ComplyWorks compliance

  • ISNetworld participation

Our structured Health, Safety, Environment and Quality systems support work in regulated industrial environments.
