Safe, Non-Destructive Utility Location & SUE Compliance

Potholing, also known as daylighting, is the process of safely exposing underground utilities to verify their exact location. Using hydrovac technology, we dig small, controlled holes without damaging pipes, lines, or fiber. This method is widely recognized as the gold standard in utility identification and is required in many urban infrastructure projects. Legacy HydroX provides vacuum excavation to assist Design and Engineering firms in achieving Quality Level A utility verification for SUE compliance. Our precise excavation methods ensure accurate utility mapping and documentation that meets industry standards and regulatory requirements. We provide Digital Test Hole reports providing as-built information on all utilities located, giving you detailed documentation for your project records and future reference. Additionally, we offer Core Drilling and backfill services to reduce the number of trades required onsite, streamlining your project workflow and reducing coordination complexity.
