Utilities

Save time, money, and prevent damage to your city utilities.

Potholing is an essential best practice before you proceed with installing or replacing any city utility.

Any utility hit is dangerous and costly to your bottom line. Accidents and their resulting damage can only be prevented when you commit to damage prevention. That prevention comes from knowing exactly where your utilities are located visually and on paper.

Vacuum based potholing is the most popular & efficient method for locating utilities, allowing you to quickly dig small, precisely controlled potholes to uncover the utilities you will be repairing or replacing. Because vacuum excavators dig deeper than is possible with shovels, they uncover your utilities without the risk of damage, helping you to respect all tolerance zones.
