Advantages of Southeys Hydro Excavation include:
- The decibel reading on our whisper trucks is 50% lower than most others, readings were at 10 meters away
- Twin water blasters enable greater productivity
- Flexible insulated digging wands prevent up to 33 kVA transmission in the case of unplanned strikes
- Effective emissions filtration of 2 microns provides a safety measure with unexpected asbestos contact
- Underground services are protected as we use rubber hoses
- We have a range of tank sizes from 4,000 to 10,000 liters
- If a job requires work at height, our workers are trained to use the onboard harness systems
- Our systems use less liters of water per minute than typical, 50% less, this is due to innovations around the digging heads
- By using a secondary 'auxiliary engine' our operations on site use only the fuel relative to the task at hand. Through separating the engine of the vehicle from the operating unit fuel consumption is matched to real requirements
- Southeys is uniquely placed as our dual water blasters are individually adjustable. Having two water blasters enables one to be permanently set and marked at the optimum PSI for utility customers.
