Hydro Excavation
Safest, Most-Precise and Most-Efficient Way to Excavate
Excavation projects that require extra safety, precision and efficiency need alternatives to hard-edge digging. At Superior Environmental Solutions (SES), we are experts in excavating trenches, holes, and exposing hidden facilities in any weather condition, including frozen earth.
Specially Built Hydro Excavation Units and Highly Skilled and Trained Crews
Our purpose-built hydro excavation units and skilled crews utilize pressurized water combined with high-velocity vacuum to rapidly cut through the ground to find and expose underground utilities, pipes or cables.
SES is the leader in hydro excavation services throughout the Midwest, with experience working in chemical plants, refineries, storage facilities and more.
Best-in-Class Technology for Utility Construction
Our customers benefit from significantly reduced construction delays and contractor claims otherwise caused by unexpected conflicts with utilities during construction. Our hydro excavation technology is most effective when used during the preliminary engineering phase on projects where utility conflicts are likely to occur.
The first phase requires surface locating, which is accomplished using tools and methods developed and improved by the geophysical prospecting industry. This lets technicians find the line's horizontal trace before they start digging. Hydro excavation, a highly specialized technique, exposes the utility line in the second step of subsurface locating. This makes it possible to see exactly where it is without disturbing existing land uses or highway traffic and without damaging the utility line itself.
