Hiring hydrovac services to complete an excavation project is an important decision that can have specific repercussions for your operations. Choosing the best hydrovac company can help increase the speed and safety of a project while offering reasonable costs and efficiency. Here are five things you should keep in mind when hiring a hydro-excavation company for your next project.
Speed in Completing a Project
One of the most important factors in choosing the best hydrovac systems company is the speed with which they complete a project. Many trenching operations are time-sensitive and knowing that your excavation team is capable of finishing the project on a tight deadline can make all the difference. Look at their past jobs and get an estimated time of completion before hiring.
Service Quality
You also need to be sure that you’re getting a quality service company. You can judge this by ascertaining the standard of the hydrovac equipment the company employs and looking at various customer reviews on social media sites. Equipment will affect the speed and efficiency of excavation and customers will often comment on the safety and pace of given projects.
Scale of Past Projects
Determine the capacity for particular hydrovac services by looking at the size of their past projects. If they haven’t handled anything close to the magnitude of your endeavor, it would be best to look elsewhere. It’s also important to take into consideration the amount of time they’ve been in business and the experience of their operators.
Pricing
Just because a hydrovac systems company is low cost, doesn’t mean you should rush into hiring them. A significantly lower price can be the result of compromising the quality of service. Always be wary of a low quote. While you don’t want the most expensive company, services that fall in a middle range are probably your best bet.
Safety Standards
Excavation projects can be dangerous, so choose a company that takes the needed safety precautions. Consider any fatal accidents the business has had in the past and remember that locating underground utilities is only safe when hydro-vacuum equipment is adjusted for water pressure.
When choosing a hydro-excavation company, take more than your wallet into consideration. Look for an operator with experience in comparable projects with good customer reviews, an ample pace and tight safety regulations.
