Selcon uses vacuum excavation and utility locating to expose underground systems with unmatched accuracy- reducing risk, avoiding costly utility strikes, and keeping infrastructure projects on schedule. Whether you’re building broadband, power systems, or pipelines, we help you dig smart from the start.
Traditional digging methods pose real risks- damaging buried fiber lines, gas mains, or water pipes can shut down an entire project. That’s why Selcon we use vacuum excavation early and often- especially when working in areas with dense underground infrastructure or when 811 locates are incomplete. It’s how we daylight critical utilities, double-check service depths, and build trust with clients who depend on accuracy.
Expose fiber, power, gas, or water lines before we dig.
Avoid utility damage in downtown zones, tight easements, or aging infrastructure.
Supplement 811 marks with real-world depth and alignment data.
Selcon combines modern hydro and air excavation equipment with experienced crews who know how to keep projects running smoothly and safely. We don’t just show up with a vac truck- we show up with a plan.
Here’s what makes us so different:
Selcon supports a variety of infrastructure sectors with vacuum excavation, soft digging, and utility locating services, including:
Vacuum Excavation (Hydro & Air)
Safely loosen and remove soil without harming buried assets.
Potholing & Daylighting Services
Expose buried utilities prior to directional drilling, trenching, or foundation work.
Utility Locating & Verification
Supplement 811 marks with precise physical confirmation of line depth and location.
Non-Destructive Excavation for Concrete & Road Cuts
Vacuum around foundations, pavements, or sensitive structures without damaging surrounding areas.
Data Collection & Documentation
Provide utility depth, type and GPS coordinates to feed into your project plans or GIS systems.

“We keep going back to Selcon because we trust them every time. They consistently deliver great work at a fair price without us having to manage headaches.”
“I know my job’s going to be done to the highest standard when Selcon is involved. They have strong relationships with permitting entities, so I never worry about problems holding up a project.”
“We know if Selcon is on the job, we’re going to make our deadlines, even when there are tight timelines and unexpected delays.”
Hydro uses water, air excavation uses compressed air. Both are safe for utilities, it just depends on the soil type and site sensitivity.
Yes. We offer private locating and physical verification via vacuum excavation when public locates are incomplete or unavailable.
Yes. It’s one of the safest methods to expose delicate or high risk utilities.
We can safely expose utilities at depths of 5-10 feet or more, depending on the application and soil conditions.
Partner with Selcon for precision utility locating and vacuum excavation that protects people, infrastructure, and timelines.
