Hydrovac Services
Williston, ND — serving the Bakken 24/7
Non-destructive hydro excavation for utility locates, daylighting, potholing, slot trenching, and bore pits. Pressurized water + vacuum extraction means zero strike risk on live utilities.
What we do
Hydrovac (also called hydro excavation, vacuum excavation, or non-destructive digging) uses pressurized water to break up soil and a powerful vacuum to remove the slurry. It's the safest way to dig around live utilities, pipelines, and sensitive infrastructure — and it's required on most modern oilfield, utility, and municipal jobs.
Daylighting
Expose buried utilities, pipelines, and infrastructure without damage. Standard prep before any digging near active lines.
Potholing
Surgical depth, location, and condition checks for design surveys, utility relocates, and pre-construction verification.
Slot Trenching
Narrow trenches for cable, conduit, and small-diameter utility installs. Safer and cleaner than mechanical trenching.
Bore Pit Excavation
Entry/exit pit excavation for directional drilling crews. Fast turnaround, precise dimensions, safe around existing utilities.
Pipeline Exposure
Expose live pipelines for inspection, repair, or tie-ins without strike risk. Common on oilfield gathering systems and water-disposal lines.
Cold-Weather Operations
Heated water systems and Bakken-experienced crews. We work through ND winters when other contractors can't.
