Vacuum excavation and pit cleaning for industry
Industrial and distribution sites often need the vacuum truck more than the excavator. Two services do most of that work.
Hydro excavation
Pressurized water loosens soil and a vacuum lifts it into the truck's tank, exposing buried lines without striking them. Plants use it before installing new process lines, foundations or fence posts near live utilities, to confirm what the drawings show and to dig in tight spots between equipment.
Hydro vacuum services
The same kind of truck removes liquids, sludge, sediment and debris from pits, sumps, trench drains, separators and vaults, so they can be inspected, repaired or returned to service. What is removed and how it is handled afterwards depends on the material and on the owner's requirements.
Both are usually combined with other work: replacing a section of process line, rebuilding a storm structure, adding conduit for new equipment. Site rules, shutdown windows and the plant's own drawings shape the plan.
We also handle water service, lateral, storm and conduit work for homeowners and small businesses in Greensboro.
Notice before digging
NC811 is North Carolina's one-call center under the Underground Utility Safety and Damage Prevention Act. North Carolina law (G.S. 87-122) requires at least three full working days of notice, and a ticket ends 28 calendar days after the work start date. Private plant lines are usually not marked by the one-call process.
