Questions
Hydro Excavator in Rio Chiquito FAQ
Is a hydro excavator the same as a hydrovac truck?
They are closely related. "Hydro excavator" emphasizes the digging role of a vacuum excavation rig, while "hydrovac truck" names the vehicle. Both use pressurized water and a vacuum to dig safely around buried utilities.

When you need controlled, precise excavation in congested or critical areas, such as exposing transmission lines, trenching among dense utilities, or deep potholing where a mechanical excavator would be too risky.
