Why are daylighting excavation services in Bonnyville the best option?

by Jennifer W. Digital Marketer

Maintaining those pipes that run under your feet and beneath the ground is more crucial than you may think. Since those pipelines carry utilities we need day-to-day, like compressed gas or water, you must undertake their maintenance periodically to ensure their long lives. For such a task, you can use the process called daylighting. Let's see what daylighting is all about and how daylighting excavation services in Bonnyville can help you.

What is daylighting excavation, and why use hydrovac services for it?

Daylighting simply means exposing underground facilities like optical fibers, electrical lines, water pipes, etc., to natural light by removing the soil around them. This is done to detect any leaks, spills, or damage that may be disrupting their functioning effectively. Before excavating, surface locators detect the position of these utilities accurately, so minimum excavation is required, and these utilities are also safe from any damage during the process.

But how can hydrovac daylighting excavation services in Bonnyville help you with daylighting? Since hydrovac services use highly pressurized water to loosen the soil and create a sludge, which is sucked by a vacuum and sent to a truck on stand-by with two tanks, one store the freshwater to be sprayed and one that stores the sludge for disposal. But how are they better than mechanical and manual digging excavations? These utilities are costly. Any damage to them can end up costing you a fortune, or these damages may develop and create further problems in the future. Since hydrovac daylighting excavation services in Bonnyville use water, which is non-destructive, there are negligible risks to these expensive utilities.

Did you know you can use hydrovac for culvert cleaning services in Lloydminster?

Culverts are necessary to dispose of liquid waste from our homes and industries. But sometimes these culverts can get clogged by several elements. It can be random debris, branches, logs, and sometimes ice, called Canadian permafrost. Ice can cause several problems as it is solid and hence can damage the culverts from the inside. Culvert cleaning services in Lloydminster use hydrovac to clean blocked culverts effectively.

If ice hinders the water flow, highly pressurized heated water is sprayed on it or inside it by an expert hydrovac operator. This water is heated with a one million BTU boiler to a high temperature. When this water comes in contact with the ice, it begins to melt, thus eventually clearing the area obstructing the water's flow.

But sometimes, these culverts may be extremely narrow and long. In such cases, culvert cleaning services in Lloydminster use a piece of equipment called the snake. It is attached to a long thin tube, and it sprays water from one jet on the front. It also has six jets on the back that spray water to move it forward, making it self-propelling. The sprayed water melts and breaks down the ice that then flows to the back and is removed by suction.

When looking for culvert cleaning services in Lloydminster, consider a hydrovac crew to do the job effectively and quickly without causing any damage.
