With more than 20 years of industry experience, our excavation division, PKX, provides the personnel and technology to meet your non-destructive hydro excavation and trenching needs. PKX’s hydro excavation process provides a safe alternative to conventional digging methods such as track hoes, augers, backhoes and bulldozers. Unlike traditional mechanical excavation, damage or disruption to critical underground utilities is minimized by using pressurized water, in addition to high-power vacuuming. This method of excavation can significantly reduce the risk of damage to site infrastructure.
PKX’s safe hydro excavation technology can complete a typical excavation project in a fraction of the time compared to conventional digging methods.
