Hydro Excavation
Our newest service hydrovac excavation, also known as hydro excavation, is a very cost effective service for our customers. Hydro Excavation is a non-destructive excavation method which uses pressurized water and a vacuum system to dig. This allows us to make a visual observation of existing underground utilities so that they can be avoided when excavating. Hydro Excavation enhances the operation of equipment such as augers, excavators, horizontal directional drilling rigs, etc.
Conventional methods of excavation require shovels, bobcats, backhoes and bulldozers. All of these options risk damage to hidden services such as sewage pipes, optic and electric cables, water mains and gas pipes which can result in huge costs for damage, remediation and project delays. RNR Enterprises’ hydro excavation system virtually eliminates the risk of damaging existing underground infrastructures such as expensive fiber optic cables, electric cables, water pipes, sanitary pipes and dangerous gas lines.

Our customers include contractors, municipalities, utility companies and industrial facilities.
