Services : Hydro Excavation

MPW's Hydro Excavation process provides a safer alternative to conventional digging methods such as bobcats, backhoes and bulldozers. Unlike traditional mechanical excavation, there is little chance of damage or disruption to critical underground utilities when pressurized water (2,000 p.s.i. or more) and high power vacuuming are utilized to dig a hole or premeditated section. Mechanical excavation projects can physically harm operators and shut down construction or industrial projects, increasing liability and financial risks. MPW's Hydro Excavation technology is completed in a fraction of the time historically required, due to the precise, non-destructive digging method.

MPW's customized Hydro Excavation tooling and mobile equipment allow MPW technicians to penetrate various soil conditions, depths, widths and angles, while preserving natural surroundings. Hydro Excavation waterjet tooling is directed at the desired excavation point while the soil slurry is vacuumed into a high capacity vacuum truck to be contained and transported on or off-site. The entire excavation process requires minimal backfill, labor force, restoration, and environmental impact than conventional digging methods. MPW's fleet of Hydro Excavation equipment can be stationed in areas where space restrictions limit large-scale digging equipment.

MPW performs Hydro Excavation services for contractors, municipalities, utility plants and industrial and manufacturing facilities. MPW operators and technicians respond fully to OSHA and environmental regulations, emphasizing safety first in all Hydro Excavation projects.
