The professionals at RHC are highly trained in critical field improvement services including rathole drilling and hydro excavation. We use rathole drilling to prepare drill sites to support drilling rigs. Rathole rigs are far more compact and less intrusive than traditional rigs. Hydro excavation is used when traditional drilling or digging is determined to be unsafe or inefficient. It involves pumping pressurized water into the earth to break up soil, and simultaneously evacuating this soil-and-water slurry using an industrial-strength vacuum attached to a debris tank.
Our skilled team considers safety and quality workmanship its utmost priorities. When you trust RHC to be your construction partner, you can be certain we’ll follow a strict safety protocol and never cut corners or take unnecessary risks. We offer the following excavation services that serve as the groundwork to a successful build:
