What Is Daylighting and How to Do It Right
Traditionally, utility pipes were exposed by manual digging, and that was often a less precise job, which involved many risks. Fortunately, hydrovac excavation trucks can make the process easier, safer and more accurate. And the process of exposing utility pipes is called daylighting or potholing. Excavators specializing in this technology use a balanced combination of water pressure, air, and sometimes heat to break up the ground and suck up the soil around the underground pipes. Because industrial strength vacuum and pressurized water work together, they can thus easily excavate and remove soil, saving both money and time. Daylighting is very efficient and non-destructive, and that is why many people choose this tremendous innovation. At the same time, as it can be done more rapidly, daylighting is the ideal technology to be used by those who need to travel and drive to work. A faster excavation also implies better productivity, and can be of great help to companies and individual...
