- Utility verification and mapping support
- Slot trenching and pit excavation
- Utility pole, sign post and fence post holes

Some jobs stop conventional equipment. However, our trucks handle them.

Our vacuum trucks also remove liquids, sludge and solids. For example, municipalities and plants use them for routine cleaning.
