Special Report: Vacuum Excavation
In the last 15 years, the size of the hydro excavation industry has grown as utility owners and members of the Common Ground Alliance (CGA) and the Canadian Common Ground Alliance (CCGA) push for safer digging around underground facilities. With this growth new and improved equipment has come in the way of the trucks themselves to the equipment – blowers, boilers, nozzles, etc. – on board. We’ve also witnessed the advent of dry suction (air) excavation for times when high pressure water can’t or shouldn’t be used, as well as machines capable of working both ways.
With so much change, we bring you this special report focused on the North American vacuum excavation sector.
