The XX-Cavator from Vac-Con can be a viable, valuable and efficient method to increase productivity in a CIPP operation. Its hydroexcavation capabilities can be used to find existing utilities to avoid, and can be used to find the damaged pipe needing to be repaired. The combination of low-volume, high-pressure water and high-power vacuum allows the crew to surgically expose the work area. A rear-mounted Power Flex boom can increase reach with an articulating elbow, saving time and money. In congested urban areas, it can be parked several hundred feet away from the job site while providing the power to remove materials with accuracy and gain access to pipe needing repair. 904/284-4200; www.vac-con.com.
