A new way of Digging

What happens here

With all critical utility lines successfully located, the trenching phase for line identification is complete. The exposed lines will now either be carefully relocated or adequately protected before the main pond excavation can begin. The host expresses satisfaction with the Hydrovac system's performance, particularly its ability to penetrate the hard-packed old driveway material. The area is now deemed safe for the larger 4-foot deep pond digging project, scheduled to commence soon.

Goal: Complete all utility line identification and prepare the site for pond excavation.

Tools and materials

  • EGO Pressure Washer EGO — Further loosening of soil during extended trenching
  • RNV Hydrovac 2 RNV — Continuing to vacuum loosened material from the extended trench
  • Shovel — Assisting in clearing larger debris or shaping the trench
  • Steel Jackson Wheelbarrow Jackson — Collecting all additional slurry
