HYDROVAC & JETTING SERVICES

Precision & Safety For Critical Operations

Traditional excavation and soil removal methods carry inherent risks due to the nature of removal, putting infrastructure, personnel, and equipment at risk. Lone Star Hazmat Response utilizes Non-Destructive Excavation with specialized equipment to support clients in both hazardous and non-hazardous projects. Our Hydrovac & Jetting services help to safely complete precise cleaning and excavation projects in all settings, maximizing efficiency, minimizing mess, and keeping personnel safe.

Lone Star’s hydrovac & jetting services help businesses address a variety of projects:

Contaminated Soil Removal
Confined Space Cleaning (Pipes & Tanks)
Precision Excavation
Non-Hazardous Excavation

Removal Of Contaminated Soils

Hydrovac excavation is a great option for the removal of contaminated soils affecting small areas or in hard-to-reach locations. Contamination can be quickly mitigated and contained, preventing further spread to the surrounding environment or waterways. Using specialized hydrovac trucks, contaminated soils are loosened and vacuumed into a confined chamber for transportation and cleaning or disposal at specialized sites.

Confined Spaces – Pipeline & Tank cleaning

Lone Star’s jetting services are an ideal solution for cleaning and maintenance of pipelines and holding tanks, or other confined spaces. Our specialized equipment allows us to safely clean pipeline and holding tank interior surfaces of hazardous and non-hazardous substances in preparation for inspection or maintenance & repairs. Our technicians and cleaning equipment can effectively remove chemical film residues to provide a clean substrate to allow for modification, repairs, including welding, inspection & NDT, or solution changeovers.

Precise Excavation – Non-Destructive Excavation

Our hydrovac services are the perfect solution for precision excavation requirements in situations where space limitations or other dangers may be present. These situations may involve operating around sensitive equipment or excavation sites with known buried objects, where the use of traditional excavation equipment poses a risk of damage or safety issues. In these cases, hydrovac excavation can effectively remove soil to specified depths with limited disruption and mess to the surrounding area. This excavation practice is considered non-destructive and is safe for use in areas with buried pipes and wires.

Non-Hazardous Excavation

Lone Star Hazmat Response provides hydrovac excavation services for both hazardous and non-hazardous material applications. We are a supporting partner to a number of industries in precise excavation in preparation for the construction or placement of foundations and utilities. These industries include communications companies, utilities, and construction companies requiring precision placement of foundations, poles, piles, and more. Our hydrovac services also operate in cold-weather environments involving frost/frozen ground, combining high-pressure jetting and hydrovac services to effectively remove frozen materials.

Our hydrovac excavation services are minimally disruptive and are great for:

• Utility pole placement
• Precision footings
• Limited access locations
• Excavation around sensitive equipment
• Unearthing of pipes & wires
