The Safe, Productive Way to Dig
USA DeBusk’s HX+ automated hydro excavation takes the benefits of water-jet-assisted digging to a higher level of safety and productivity.
Robotics & Remote Control
This advanced system uses robotics and remote control to remove workers from the active line of fire during excavation procedures.
While the system is running, the operator is safely positioned approximately 20 feet away from the water jetting site.
Automation increases the level of precision compared to manual jetting or mechanical methods. It also improves productivity by increasing consistency and allowing extended work periods without the need for breaks required by human operators.
HX+ systems are mobile and compact, allowing access to confined locations while minimizing disruptions at the job site. The dig tube is capable of reciprocating 180 degrees to provide cutting action while digging.
A Superior Process
HX+ hydro excavation is used instead of mechanical digging for a wide range of utility location, maintenance, construction, and repair projects.
HX+ automated hydro excavation uses pressurized water to remove or displace soil and a powerful vacuum system to suction the slurry and debris into a high-capacity waste tank.
Systems are capable of precise, clean cuts and can remove high volumes of overburden quickly.
All equipment is truck and trailer mounted for access to remote locations and difficult terrain.
Mitigates Hazards & Environmental Challenges
HX+ automated hydro excavation mitigates hazards by eliminating the danger of contacting volatile or energized lines with a backhoe, excavator, or other equipment.
Hydro excavation also protects against delays and expenses from damage to unseen assets.
The versatile HX+ process operates in virtually any environment. In cold climates, the system can use hot water to melt frozen soil and debris.
Applications
There are many job sites where gas, electrical, and plumbing lines pose threats to safety.
HX+ automated hydro excavation is ideal for these sensitive areas, as well as other situations where accessibility or efficiency are desired.
Typical applications include:
