Selecting the right Hydro-Excavation Nozzle

In excavation, safety comes first. Although we’ve come a long way from the days of manual labor, modern methods have not solved all the issues. Despite reducing the number of injuries, the technology of the last century still leads to avoidable risk. Large construction vehicles can be hazardous to work around, piles of dirt and debris can injure people or property, and workers can strike underground cables and lines. Hydro excavation negates all of that.

Whether there is a need for a new foundation or if new lines need to be installed underground, trenching and excavation will be crucial in the construction industry. Trenching and excavating activities are routine, but even routine activities can be dangerous if the tasks are not properly executed by a professional.

This may seem obvious, but it is critically important to remember that numerous hazards come with trenching and excavating jobs. Some jobs are likely to be more fatal to workers. Soil weighs about 2,200 pounds per cubic yard, which can equal the same weight as your vehicle. Pre-planning and taking protective measures are greatly important to excavation work.

With TWIC, JSA, and more, 4 Warriors is one of the most highly trained and certified teams out there. Only a small crew is needed to perform the same job as a full team of laborers, making it more cost-effective for the customer. During these times, fewer people involved means minimizing risk as much as possible as well. The power of hydro excavation does the heavy lifting so our experienced operators can complete the same task in even less time, making it the obvious choice.

Hydro excavation eliminates the use of sharp or metal edges, which are at fault for the majority of digging incidents each year. Without these components, hydro excavation trucks and the technique of digging with water and vacuum mitigate the risks of damaging underground utilities. In regards to precision, hydro excavation is most often completed with a handheld ‘wand’ component that is used to break down the soil with water.
