Hydro-excavation in Oklahoma

Every now and then we like to discuss topics that are pertinent to the environment and that will not only generate buzz for companies but can also generate jobs for people. Did you know that the oil and gas industry is booming in Oklahoma? So much that in parts of Southeastern Oklahoma, there is a huge supply of natural gas thousands of feet below the ground. In parts of Western Oklahoma, there is a large supply of oil in addition to natural gas.

Since these resources are abundant, there is significant drilling being done in these areas and pipelines are needed to transport these resources. The safe an very effective way to do this is through hydro-excavation as this process meets the excavation needs of pipeline construction companies in these area. In short, hydro-excavation is safe digging with high pressure water and vacuum. This process is also referred to as soft digging or non destructive digging.

Hopefully this technique not only works well for the environment but also brings about more jobs and opportunities for people who live in and around the area.
