Traveling to Weyburn, SK. Getting an Hydro-Vac machine from BIG EAGLE Services for a Water-blasting pipe excavation project in Red Earth… Hydro-Vac machines combine water-blasting and vacuum power to provide non-destructive excavating of buried pipes, lines and other structures. Hydro-Vac units are equipped with a dual compartment tank, one for water and one for waste, a high pressure wash system, a boiler for winter applications and an overhead boom to make maneuverability of 8 and 10 hoses easier and quicker. Water from the Hydro-Vac is pressurized and delivered through a handheld wand to loosen the soil. The resulting slurry (composed of water and earth) is sucked up in a debris hose by the powerful vacuum system and stored in the truck’s debris tank. From this process, a once buried structure (e.g. pipe, cable, line) is now visible and can be safely identified and repaired as required.
