T-Rex Services was contracted to provide safe, fast and non-destructive Hydro Excavation Services in order to clear the way for an electrical conduit. Industrial vacuum excavation was to be preformed underneath a sidewalk in front of the Galleria along Westheimer - one of the busiest and most profitable retail commerce areas in Houston, TX. Result The full length of 700 feet of trenching was completed by 3 pm on Saturday September 18, 2010, a full 55% ahead of schedule. Tree roots were not damaged, and the conduit was able to be successfully run.T-Rex provided an environmentally friendly, safe alternative to traditional excavation, an option which helped the project stay ahead of schedule.

Tower Erection

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 17:28:58 GMT

A new industry to T-Rex the tower erection industry is using T-Rex as an excavation alternative for foundation remodification.

T-Rex can quickly excavate around congested monopole foundations greatly shortening the job cycle.

What T-Rex can safely excavate in 1 day would be a 3-4 day hand dig. Of course, in a hand dig, even a shovel can do some serious damage. I'm telling you now this is the way to go for "re-mods".

Elevator Industry

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 17:23:52 GMT

T-Rex's vacuum excavation services are utilized in conjunction with elevator shaft remodernization work, otherwise known as a jack job. T-Rex has maximized efficiency by utilizing our large positive displacement blowers to quickly excavate elevator shafts allowing for the removal of the old steel casing and the replacement with a new PVC casing. In one job for the IBWEC T-Rex was able to excavate our deepest dig to date of 110' from bottom of the hole to the truck. We handled manifesting and disposal. and no expensive vac boxes were necessary. As a matter of a fact, we were in and out within 8 hours!

Telecommunication

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 16:28:07 GMT

We have received more than one "hurry up and get here" call from Telecom companies.

In most cases we will be able to do a few "critical locates" to get daylight on utilities so that boring can proceed at correct depths. That said, we have also been asked to suck debris out of a manholes and provide manifests for legal disposal.

Hydro Excavation Services for the Electrical and Mechanical Industries

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:42:13 GMT

T-Rex can vacuum excavate a narrow and shallow electrical trench faster and more safely than hand crews.

Up to ten times as fast!

In the wrong hands at the right time, even a shovel can be dangerous.

This past year T-Rex worked on several jobs for industrial electrical/mechanical installers digging new electrical line trenches in various oil and gas substations. These trenches were narrower and in far more complicated patterns than a shovel could hope to achieve. We did this all while maintaining strict safety standards and zero incidents.

Municipal Hydro Excavation Work

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:40:05 GMT

Who says sanitary sewage rolls down hill? Let T-Rex use our top notch hydro excavation equipment to clean your 60' deep lift station. Our giant positive displacement blowers will suck it up! Our small civil construction division assist in point repairs in congested areas where mechanical equipment just can not fit. Hydro excavation simply reduces the foot print of additional people and equipment and can make a nightmare job routine. We do this by running remote hose from our truck to easily access the dig site. It takes a little bit more elbow grease but is well worth the effort. Our industrial background supports our municipal work because our crews have extensive safety qualifications, confined space, fit testing, and fresh air certifications. Furthermore, we can properly manifest and handle the disposal of sanitary waste so you don't have to! An example of Hydro Excavation Services that we...

Hydro Excavation Services for Utility Providers

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:37:46 GMT

If ever there was a match made in heaven it is T-Rex and utility providers/installers. T-Rex can safely excavate your 24x96 deep pole hole in a matter of minutes. We regularly do this with short to no notice. If needed, we will happily hook you up with a limestone base for backfill as well. After hurricane Ike we spent two months safely excavating pole holes in back yards along the right-of-way where sewer and gas lines are run. It was bad enough for those of us who were without electricity for weeks. Can you imagine water and sewer lines being drilled through by augers and having those services knocked out as well? Our excavation services are fast, efficient, and keep disruption to a minimum. An example of Hydro Excavation Services that we offer to Utility Providers include: Potholing ...

Hydro Excavation and the Commercial Construction Industry

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:34:49 GMT

We here at T-Rex understand that vacuum excavation is not a replacement for backhoes, trenching machinery, and above ground designation (locators). However, above ground locating is only so accurate and using an excavator to locate utilities is risky business. T-Rex knows that the best solution and that is to work in conjunction with these other services to provide you the absolute lowest job cost. What you may not know! In addition to utility potholing, we recently dug two 48 diameter x 22' deep holes for a commercial construction company that could not get an auger truck in a timely basis. We specialize in hard to reach excavations such as digging unaffected by low hanging power lines (thus, preventing the lines from having to be raised to accommodate conventional drillers) or even within bodies of...

Cost/Safety Advantages of Hydro Excavation Services

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 20:15:58 GMT

To fully understand the cost advantages of vacuum excavation we have to look at the Big Picture. Hydro-excavation can virtually eliminate the unknown or unintended consequences from any project involving drilling, trenching or excavation. A 2001 survey of DOT's and transportation contractors ranked utility relocations the number one cause of transportation delay. These delays are often related to uninformed engineering due to poor as-builts. Key Advantages Eliminates risk of injury to personnel Eliminates risk of damage to underground facilities Eliminates costly delays due to damage of underground facilities Eliminates costly repairs due to damage of underground facilities Eliminates liability or litigation associated with damage to underground facilities Eliminates service interruption or public safety due to damage of underground facilities ...

Civil Construction Services by T-Rex Services

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 20:04:00 GMT

Here at T-Rex Services we have a small, but experienced, civil construction team. This was originally conceived to aid our construction clients who began requesting for T-Rex to turn key some smaller projects. It also has balanced the highs-and-lows of industrial vacuum excavation. Our primary civil focus has been on point repair contracts for the City of Houston.
