Cold Weather Digging
Click Hydrovac Excavation is especially efficient during the cold winter months by employing the use of truck-mounted boilers that heat water to temperatures exceeding 100 degrees C, enabling it to penetrate frozen soil and ice. This process produces a slurry that is then vacuumed up. By using this technique, there is no longer a requirement for slow, expensive, and environmentally harmful conventional thawing approaches such as ground heaters or chemical treatments, permitting prompt and non-invasive digging even in below-freezing weather.
Hot Water Technology:
Our specialized vehicles are equipped with water heating units (boiler systems) that warm the water to dissolve frozen soil layers which enable the vacuum extraction to function properly.
Safe and Productive Method:
This approach offers a secure, damage-free, and productive option compared to mechanical tools like jackhammers or excavators, especially when reaching buried infrastructure in icy terrain.
Decreased Hazards:
This technique lowers the dangers inherent in cold-season construction work, including the potential for harming frozen earth near utility infrastructure.
