Safer Sites Start with Hydrovac Excavation

Hydrovac reduces risk on-site by safely exposing utilities and minimizing damage during excavation projects.

Reducing Risk, One Dig at a Time

In construction and utility work, safety is everything. Hydrovac excavation significantly lowers the risk of utility strikes, injury, and site damage.

What Makes Hydrovac Safer?

Unlike traditional digging, hydrovac uses precision water and vacuum technology. That means:

  • Less physical labor
  • Better control over the dig area
  • Minimal risk of hitting underground gas, hydro, or telecom lines

Built for BC Hydro & Utility Projects

At O’Brien Bros., safety is embedded in everything we do. Our crews are trained, certified, and experienced in the unique demands of BC Hydro pole digging and vault cleaning.

A Proactive Approach to Site Safety

Our daylighting (potholing) services expose hidden infrastructure before full excavation begins. That early visibility can prevent costly mistakes and protect your crew and infrastructure.
