Hydrovac Services: Drilling & Non-Destructive Excavation in BC
Thor Hydro & Drill Inc’s hydrovac services allow you to avoid the dangers of traditional digging, such as damaging or cutting into pipes. Hydrovac excavation is a non-destructive excavation method involving two steps. Pressurized water loosens the soil around underground utilities such as cables, gas lines and other buried utilities. A vacuum system then removes the soil and exposes the underground infrastructure. It is effective on all soil types, including clay and frozen ground. A hydrovac allows contractors to put more pipe in the ground, install more poles, or complete more service repairs by safely clearing a path through utility conflicts.
Horizontal Directional Drilling
Horizontal directional drilling is the process of creating a prescribed bore path from the surface of the ground for underground telecommunication conduit, power cable conduit, water line, sewer line and gas line installation. Directional drilling has a minimal impact on the surrounding area, and it is ideal for environmentally-sensitive areas such as under roadways, waterways or developed landscapes. We can use small drills for short distances and small diameter lines, or huge drill rigs for pipes with very large diameters.
