🏗️ 30 Years Strong | Then & Now #10
In 1996, a hydrovac job was one truck and one hole, and a lot of phone calls to line up everything around it. In 2026, the whole job moves together.
This month's Then & Now looks at how the work got leaner:
• Then: a unit from the yard, wherever the yard was; material hauled to wherever would take it; restoration booked with somebody else, whenever they could come
• Now: more than 200 units dispatched from six Ontario locations; hydro excavation, restoration, traffic control, soil recycling, and project coordination handled end to end by one team, on one schedule; material recycled through an ECA-approved facility in the central Greater Toronto Area; NextGen units roughly ten decibels quieter than conventional ones
• Always: commitment and continuous improvement — asking, on every job, what the Customer is paying for that isn't work
The job got leaner. The reason behind it never changed.
