YOUR PARTNER IN
PIPE LOCATING
At Excavac, we offer specialized solutions for locating and clearing underground pipes. These essential infrastructures, such as gas, water, electricity and telecommunications pipes, require precise and safe intervention. Unlike traditional excavation methods, hydro-excavation allows pipes to be completely cleared without risk of damage, while providing full access for maintenance or repairs. Our expertise and advanced technologies ensure reliable, safe and environmentally-friendly results.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE
METHOD
Hydro-excavation uses pressurized water to remove the soil with great precision, without damaging the pipes. Unlike traditional excavation, this method clears pipes completely, providing full access for inspection, repair or replacement. This ensures infrastructure safety and eliminates the risk of accidental cracks or ruptures.
SAFETY
MAXIMUM
Our modern equipment and qualified teams work to the strictest safety standards. Hydro-excavation reduces the risks to workers and infrastructure, by eliminating the use of heavy mechanical tools often associated with traditional methods.
VERSATILITY
AND ADAPTABILITY
Whether your pipes are located in densely populated urban areas, complex industrial environments or confined spaces, our hydro-excavation technology can be adapted to any situation. It delivers reliable results even in the most demanding conditions.
RESPECT FOR
THE ENVIRONMENT
This method significantly reduces ground disturbance, minimizes dust emissions and effectively manages excavated debris. By leaving the site clean and tidy, we help preserve the integrity of the environment around the pipes.
Locating underground pipes
Unrivalled precision for locating your infrastructures
Using advanced tools such as electromagnetic detectors and radar, we pinpoint the exact location of underground pipes. This essential service helps prevent damage, comply with local regulations and guarantee the safety of your projects.
This service is crucial for :
- Prevent damage during construction or renovation work.
- Identify underground infrastructures prior to drilling or excavation projects.
- Respect local regulations and avoid costly interruptions.
Complete pipe clearance
Full access without risk of damage
Hydro-excavation offers a non-destructive method for completely clearing sensitive pipes such as gas, water or telecommunications lines. This technique allows full access to pipes for inspection, repair and replacement, while preserving their integrity.
Unlike traditional excavation, it allows all the soil around the pipe to be removed without risk of damage, providing full access for :
- Repairs and replacements.
- Infrastructure maintenance.
- Inspections and updates of underground systems.
Pipe marking and mapping
Precise documentation for optimized management
After locating and clearing, we provide detailed marking and mapping of underground pipes. This service facilitates future work planning, improves asset management and reduces the risk of damage.
This makes it possible to :
- Document the precise location of pipes for future planning.
- Facilitate project coordination and avoid duplication.
- Optimize asset management and reduce the risk of damage during future works.
Preparing construction sites
Ensure the safety and efficiency of your work
Weidentify and clear underground pipes before construction projects begin. This service ensures a safe workspace, minimizes delays and reduces the costs associated with unforeseen complications.
Before starting a construction or renovation project, our services guarantee :
- Precise identification and clearance of underground pipes to avoid service interruptions.
- A safe workspace for site crews.
- Efficient planning reduces delays and unforeseen costs.
