Hydrovac Projects and Case Studies
DIGS Hydrovac supports construction, infrastructure, telecommunications, and pipeline projects across Calgary and Western Canada with safe, non destructive hydrovac excavation services.
Hydrovac excavation is used to expose underground utilities before excavation begins, allowing contractors to verify underground conditions and reduce the risk of damaging critical infrastructure. Our crews regularly assist with utility daylighting, potholing, trenching support, and infrastructure exposure on active construction sites.
Below are examples of the types of projects DIGS Hydrovac supports across Alberta and Western Canada.
Urban Utility Daylighting for Infrastructure Construction
Urban construction environments often contain dense networks of underground utilities including gas lines, electrical conduit, telecommunications infrastructure, and water services. Contractors must confirm the exact location and depth of these utilities before mechanical excavation begins.
DIGS Hydrovac frequently performs utility daylighting and potholing to safely expose buried infrastructure on construction sites. Using pressurized water and vacuum excavation, our crews can carefully uncover utilities while minimizing disruption to surrounding ground conditions.
Hydrovac daylighting allows project teams to visually confirm underground conditions before trenching or foundation work begins. This approach significantly reduces the risk of utility strikes and helps construction projects proceed safely.

Pipeline Hydrovac Excavation Support
Pipeline construction and maintenance projects often require careful excavation around existing infrastructure. Hydrovac excavation provides a safe and controlled method for exposing underground utilities before mechanical excavation begins.
DIGS Hydrovac supports pipeline contractors by performing daylighting and excavation support for tie-in locations, crossings, and infrastructure exposure. Hydrovac excavation allows crews to safely verify underground conditions and prepare work areas for pipeline installation.
This method is widely used in energy and pipeline projects across Alberta where safety and accuracy are critical.

Municipal Infrastructure Hydrovac Excavation
Municipal infrastructure projects frequently require excavation around existing water lines, sewer systems, electrical infrastructure, and telecommunications utilities.
DIGS Hydrovac assists municipal contractors by safely exposing underground infrastructure before trenching and infrastructure upgrades begin. Hydrovac excavation provides a controlled method for verifying underground conditions without damaging critical utilities.
Our crews regularly support municipal infrastructure work including utility exposure, trenching support, and infrastructure verification across Calgary and surrounding communities.

Telecommunications and Fiber Installation Support
Telecommunications and fiber installation projects require precise excavation around existing utilities. Hydrovac excavation allows contractors to safely expose underground infrastructure before directional drilling or cable installation begins.
DIGS Hydrovac supports telecommunications contractors by providing potholing and daylighting services along fiber installation routes. These excavations allow crews to confirm the location of existing utilities before drilling or trenching begins.
Hydrovac excavation plays an important role in supporting telecommunications infrastructure expansion across Alberta and Western Canada.
