    GPR

    Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) combined with vacuum excavation provides a highly accurate and non-destructive method for locating and confirming underground utilities, using radar technology to detect subsurface features and vacuum excavation to safely expose them for verification.

Why Vac Ex?

Vacuum excavation offers a safer, more precise alternative to traditional mechanical excavation methods.

Unlike standard excavators, which can damage underground utilities and infrastructure, vacuum excavation uses controlled suction and pressurized air or water to expose subsurface assets without causing harm.

This non-destructive approach significantly reduces the risk of costly utility strikes, enhances on-site safety for workers and the public, and minimizes disruption to surrounding areas. Additionally, vacuum excavation allows for pinpoint accuracy in tight or sensitive locations where conventional equipment cannot operate effectively. Its ability to reduce environmental impact, lower restoration costs, and speed up project timelines makes it the preferred choice for modern, efficient, and responsible excavation.

By minimizing damage, delays, and cleanup requirements, vacuum excavation also leads to substantial cost savings over the course of a project.
