What is Slot Trenching in Hydro Excavation?

CT Contracting offers services designed to meet the unique needs of any project. Our hydro excavation equipment allows for the creation of precise and narrow trenches, optimizing space utilization for utility placement. Utilities we can install using this method include electrical conduits, fiber optics, and water pipes. There is minimal disturbance to surrounding landscapes or existing infrastructure, saving time and money.

Slot trenching for hydro excavation involves the precise excavation of narrow trenches using high-pressure water and industrial vacuum systems. This technique is ideal for laying utility lines, cables, or conduits.  It enables accurate placement of utilities while minimizing disruption and is more environmentally friendly. By minimizing excavation footprint, there is little to no disturbance to the environment and existing structures.

Our hydro excavation technique is more accurate than traditional methods. The accuracy reduces the need for extensive backfilling and restoration, making it less time consuming and more cost effective.

In addition to cost efficiency, it is also more labor efficient. This method uses less heavy equipment, removing soil faster and more accurately than heavy machinery or manual digging.
