Slot trenching creates narrow trenches commonly needed for laying pipes, cables, signs, posts and other utilities underground. Hydro excavating is precise and the best option for slot trenching.
Previous slot trenching methods can be dangerous and are time consuming. These mechanical and manual ways of digging are hard on the both equipment and laborers and take a lot of time to complete as well as posing safety risks. Conventional slot trenching methods can’t dig a narrow enough trench so also require backfilling, increasing the cost of labor and material. Hydro excavation has none of those issues.
Conventional digging methods also have the risk of damaging pipes or removing more dirt than necessary. The result is additional money and time to finish the job. Traditional methods also pose more safety risks because of the heavy equipment and manual labor used. Hydro excavation reduces the risks involved in an excavation job.
Hydro excavation makes thin and accurate trenches that need minimal backfilling, allowing faster and more accurate completion of the job. AmeriVac’s hydro excavating is precise and the best option for slot trenching in normal or frozen ground.
