Natural Gas Pipeline Hydrovac
Safe exposure and trenching for live gas infrastructure.
The Challenge
Natural gas pipelines demand the highest level of care during any nearby excavation. Hydrovac is the industry-standard method for exposing, daylighting, and trenching around live gas lines — drastically reducing the strike risk that mechanical digging simply can't.
Strike Risk
A single backhoe tooth on a live gas line can cause a catastrophic release. Non-destructive exposure is non-negotiable.
Integrity Inspections
Pipeline integrity programs require long runs of pipe exposed for NDT, coating inspection, and repair — done safely and continuously.
Crossings & Tie-Ins
New installations must cross or tie into existing lines with minimal risk to the in-service infrastructure.
