HydroVac Impact: Why HydroVac Is A Better Choice

HydroVac vs. Traditional Excavation

With every project, there are two things that contractors have to keep in mind: time and cost.  How can we complete the project within the deadline?  How can we complete it on budget?  Traditional construction vehicles like excavators, backhoes, and trenchers pack a lot of power, but at a high cost to the crew and the environment — the removal of soil and debris creates significant waste; the power needed to operate results in higher CO2 emissions, and the distribution of pollutants can result in health complications.

This is where HydroSpade can help — our equipment helps you do precise work in tight spaces with minimal damage to the surrounding area and low risk to your team.

Better Waste Disposal

We’ve all seen towering mounds of dirt and gravel at construction sites — it’s not pretty, but it’s necessary, right? Not with hydrovac! Our single-axle trucks come with unloaders adjustable up to 3,000 psi to create precise cuts that significantly minimizes unnecessary waste, and comes equipped with wireless booms for efficient debris removal. The tank is designed to support a maximum payload, which means a more efficient use of space and less harm to existing structures.

Lower CO2 Emissions

Clean air means clean lungs, and we believe in protecting our employees and our communities.  Smaller equipment means lower emissions, which means cleaner air and fewer complications for your operators.

Less Contamination

It’s not just CO2 emissions that pose a risk to construction sites — traditional excavation methods result in dust and airborne particles that can contribute to respiratory complications, and can contaminate soil with oil and lubricate runoff.  Hydrovac equipment minimizes this by vacuuming out the slurry immediately (significantly lowering air contaminant concentration), and fewer components means less lubricant, which reduces soil and groundwater pollution.

Quick, Cost-Effective, and Clean

When it comes to completing your project on time and on budget, HydroSpade builds quality equipment with the power you need and the efficiency you want.  Our units are finely calibrated to ensure precise, safe, and clean results, so you get the job done without damaging the site.  

It’s machinery simply built, to make construction simply better.
