Frequently Asked Questions

Depending on how often your company needs to use the hydrovac truck and the scope of your project, the prices can vary a great deal.

Strathcona Excavating uses the most powerful and modern hydrovac trucks and can perform excavations up to 20 metres deep. In addition, the hydrovac trucks can dig in areas that are 150 metres away from the truck itself.

Hydrovac trucks are equipped with boilers, heaters and insulating systems that allow for heating of the water. Because of this, we can work year-round and on a vast range of surfaces including snow and slippery ice. This means our cold Alberta winters won’t slow your project down!
