Electric Utility Hydrovac
Expose underground power safely — with reduced strike risk.
The Challenge
Underground electric lines carry the same strike danger as gas — with the added risk of arc flash and outage. Hydrovac is the safe method for exposing, potholing, and trenching around buried power for utilities, substations, and distribution projects.
Arc & Strike Risk
Mechanical contact with a live underground conductor can cause arc flash, injury, and widespread outage.
Substation Work
Substations pack dense underground infrastructure into tight, access-limited footprints.
Conduit & Cable
Installing or repairing underground conduit requires precise, narrow trenching among existing lines.
How Hydrovac Solves It
The services we deploy for this industry.
Potholing
Confirm conductor depth and position before any digging.
Slot Trenching
Cut narrow trenches for new conduit among existing lines.
Remote-Hose
Reach tight substation and vault interiors the truck can't enter.
Daylighting
Expose cable runs for splicing, repair, and relocation.
Why ABI
We work with electric utilities and their contractors to expose live infrastructure safely. Our remote-hose reach makes dense substation work possible, and 24/7 dispatch supports outage restoration timelines.
