PKX’s XCaliber Hydro-Pneumatic Excavation combines high-pressure water excavation and compressed air excavation into a single mobile system that allows for precision excavation while ensuring minimal environmental impact. This means an eco-friendly footprint is left, with quick restoration of the surrounding area. Hydro-pneumatic excavation greatly lessens the potential of underground utility damage, while also providing huge savings in investment costs. The dual components of hydro and pneumatic excavation allows Porta Kleen to quickly and thoroughly complete soil and debris removal, trenching, remote digging, and potholing.
