Pipeline excavation in an old oil and gas region
Bradford has produced oil and gas for well over a century. As a result, the ground holds many old lines. Some are active, and some were abandoned long ago.
However, records for older lines are often incomplete. Digging by machine becomes a real risk.
What hydro excavation does for a pipeline crew
Our hydrovac trucks remove soil with pressurized water and vacuum. Because the method is non-destructive, the pipe and coating stay intact.
In addition, the operator can identify each line before your crew commits to a cut.

Ready for hills, rock and frost
McKean County terrain is steep and rocky. Meanwhile, winter arrives early. Our trucks remove rocks up to 6 inches in diameter and carry heated water for frozen ground.
Therefore, the schedule does not depend on the weather.
