Utility Pole Installation

The technology of excavating a new hole in the ground and installing a new utility is nothing but a miracle of modern engineering practice. The video shows the Badger Hydrovac (reference below) digging the hole and other gear picking up the new utility and supplanting it into the ground. You can FAST FORWARD if desired, I have left in as much raw video as I could to show you the process.

Let us respect the hard work of those in the field making our communications system excellent and those who dedicate themselves to developing the tools of the trades.

Reference: Badger Daylighting™ builds their own custom and purpose built hydrovac trucks – ‘Badgers’ or ‘Badger Hydrovacs’ as they are popularly referred to. These vacuum trucks use integrated high-pressure water and vacuum systems mounted on a truck chassis to expose buried infrastructure or prepare an area for future work. Over the course of our 25 years in operation, the ‘Badger Hydrovac’ has gained a venerable reputation in the hydro-excavation category as it has consistently proven itself superior over traditional mechanical excavation.
