What Are Hydro-Vac Trucks?

Hydro-vac excavation or “hydrovacing” is the process of excavating rock, soil and earth to help uncover and expose underground pipelines, electrical cables and other utilities in sensitive areas where traditional excavations (dig methods) would be too disruptive or dangerous.

Through the use of special equipment highly pressurized water is used to agitate the ground.  If you’ve ever taken a garden hose or even a pressure washer to some soft earth or sand you’ll see how quickly the water works in this fashion and a hydro-vac truck just does this on a much larger scale.

As the ground becomes agitated the hydro-vac trucks powerful vacuum system sucks up and stores the soil and/or debris in a self-contained tank on the truck chassis.  In many cases the water/debris getting sucked up into the truck could be contaminated either with drilling fluids (oilfield service) or waste water and even septic and sewage waste and would otherwise be nearly impossible to contain and transport without the services of these specialized trucks.

The use of hydro-vac trucks in these situations is a very non-destructive alternative to traditional excavations around sensitive underground infrastructure which would normally require multiple pieces of equipment such as excavators, backhoes and even workers manually digging.  The hydro-vac truck can complete the work in a fraction of the time.

Compared to traditional excavation methods hydro-vac trucks also save construction and excavation companies money because of the reduced environmental liability and decrease in restoration costs due to the precision at which these trucks can excavate.

What Are Straight Vac Trucks?

Straight-vac trucks also known as vacuum trucks have one purpose and that is to suck and store liquids including hazardous waste with the proper tanks.  Straight-vac trucks are often used in the septic and sewage industry for sucking up the contents out of septic tanks, vessels and other large tanks.  Depending on the type of work you do straight vac trucks can be configured a number of different ways with items like special hose racks, extended booms, stainless or aluminum tanks, hazardous waste ratings and more.

What Are Combo Vac Trucks?

Combo-vac trucks are most commonly used in the oilfield and other construction projects where ground disturbance is required around sensitive underground utilities such as gas and oil transport pipelines.  A well equipped combo-vac truck can both blast pressurized water into the ground and suck it up at the same time effectively excavating through soft, sensitive ground quite quickly and with minimal impact.  The name combo-vac comes from the “combination” of two tanks (one for clean water to blast/ the other for hauling out the waste/debris) that these trucks are equipped with.

A well equipped combo-vac truck is suitable for variety of tasks on the oilfield including daylighting services, moving and transporting contaminated drilling fluids, excavating through frozen ground (with pressurized hot water), well-site work and more.

Buying Used or Buying New?

Buying a used hydro-vac truck definitely has advantages in the cost savings department but you just might be sacrificing some of the features and options that you really need to make this purchase as efficient and profitable as can be for your business.

When you buy a used hydro-vac truck you are buying a piece of heavy duty equipment that has already endured what could be considered an “extreme service” life whether it’s been down rough oilfield roads for a couple of years or has been hauling sewage and other waste materials in a more urban setting these trucks get used hard and if not maintained correctly, could end up being an expensive purchase with future repairs and breakdowns down the road.

As a business owner a breakdown doesn’t just cost money to repair but it also costs you money in lost revenue when the hydro-vac truck is down.

If you are buying a used hydro-vac truck you want to look for hydro-vac trucks with low hours and low kilometers and a well documented service life.

When you buy a new hydro-vac truck you are buying a brand new piece of equipment that is ready to endure a life of extreme service.  You get to choose the features and options that are going to work the best for your specific intended usage of the hydro-vac unit.  A contractor working combo-vac trucks in the oil patch and hauling contaminated drilling fluid may require different accessories, plumbing configurations and options then a contractor who is just emptying septic tanks with a straight-vac truck.

You want your new hydro-vac unit to be easy for your employees to use and configured in such a way that it makes them more efficient at their jobs, this translates into hours saved at the end of every work day.

The clear benefits to purchasing a new hydro-vac truck for your company is the availability of a warranty, the ability to customize your hydro-vac unit for your specific industry and possibly even financing and leasing incentives that would only be available for the purchase of a new unit.
