Hydrovac Excavation

---

At Coyote Underground LLC, hydrovac excavation provides a safe, precise, and non-destructive method for exposing underground utilities and performing daylighting operations.

When accuracy matters and risk must be minimized, hydrovac is the solution.

Hydrovac excavation uses pressurized water to break up soil while a high-powered vacuum system removes debris into a contained tank. This process allows crews to safely expose buried infrastructure without damaging surrounding utilities.

It is the preferred method for working around:

• Fiber optic lines
• Gas mains
• Electric distribution
• Water and sewer systems
• Congested utility corridors
   

Our hydrovac services support both standalone projects and integrated underground construction operations.

We safely expose existing utilities to verify depth, alignment, and location prior to drilling or trenching operations.

Hydrovac allows for controlled exposure at roadway crossings, railroad bores, and utility tie-in points.

Ideal for tight-access areas or urban environments where traditional excavation would be disruptive.

When rapid response is needed to identify underground conditions, our crews can mobilize quickly and operate safely under pressure.

Hydrovac excavation significantly reduces the risk of utility strikes — protecting infrastructure, schedules, and budgets.

Our crews follow strict verification procedures including:

• 811 locate confirmation
• Visual utility verification
• Controlled exposure methods
• Pre-drill inspection protocols
• Daily safety and equipment checks
   

We understand that preventing a single strike can protect an entire project’s profitability.

Hydrovac excavation is not a standalone afterthought — it’s part of our larger underground strategy.

Our hydrovac operations support:

• Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)
• Vibratory Plow installation
• Open trench construction
• Fiber placement and restoration
   

By self-performing daylighting and exposure work, we maintain tighter quality control and reduce third-party scheduling delays.

Hydrovac excavation is one of the safest excavation methods available when performed correctly. 

Our crews are trained to:

• Operate within confined utility corridors
• Manage water pressure responsible
• Protect surrounding property
• Maintain clean and organized worksites
   

Safety is not a slogan — it is a field-level standard.

• Experienced underground utility specialists
• Rural and urban project experience
• Damage prevention mindset
• Rapid mobilization capability
• Professional communication with property owners and inspectors
   

We don’t just expose utilities — We protect infrastructure, schedules, and relationships.
