Piling hole digging with hydro excavation is superior to other methods. Piling holes of varying diameter and depth are created to erect poles, signs, posts, and more. They serve as part of the foundation to support whatever is being installed.
Conventional piling hole excavation sometimes includes a backhoe which usually excavates more soil than needed, resulting in backfilling after excavation. The unloading and loading of the machine and positioning it properly can be time consuming and adds expense to your project. Hydro excavation eliminates many issues by accurately removing soil. This reduces the need to backfill and minimizes the amount of soil hauled off the job site.
Manual digging is another common method for creating piling holes. Digging through soil using a shovel or post hole digger is a slow and painful process and adds additional labor costs. Manual digging is more precise than a backhoe but may still damage underground equipment or utilities.
Creating piling holes using hydro excavation is fast and accurate and won’t damage underground utilities. There is no excess backfilling. It is completed quickly with just one person and one truck.
