ACE Tank Services works alongside a range of professionals involved in utility installation and infrastructure projects.

Hydro Vac Excavation for Utility Installations
Hydro excavation uses pressurized water and a high powered vacuum system to remove soil in a controlled manner. This process allows crews to work safely around existing underground services without the risks associated with mechanical digging.
Hydro Vac excavation is commonly used during utility installation to confirm service locations, prepare excavation areas, and expose connection points before work begins. This approach helps reduce the risk of utility strikes and supports safer project execution.
Utility Types Commonly Involved
Utility installation projects supported by ACE Tank Services commonly involve:
Gas Utilities
Controlled exposure of gas lines during new installations, upgrades, and connection work.
Water and Sewer Services
Accurate excavation for water mains, service lines, and sewer connections where soil preservation is required.
Electrical Infrastructure
Careful excavation around underground electrical conduits to support system expansions and new installations.
Communications and Data Lines
Non destructive excavation for telecommunications and data infrastructure in both urban and rural environments.
Why Utility Contractors Use Hydro Vac Excavation
Utility installation projects often involve working near active services. Hydro Vac excavation allows soil to be removed gradually and with precision, helping reduce the risk of damage.
This approach supports:
- Safer work around existing utilities
- Improved job site control
- Reduced disruption to surrounding infrastructure
- More predictable project timelines
