The application of the custom engineered wood pellets to wet hydro excavation slurry leads to absorption, solidification, and stabilization of the wet slurry into a manageable, non-liquid material—within minutes following contact. When pellets are mixed with the wet hydro excavation slurry they begin to open allowing the kiln-dried sawdust inside to absorb the water. This allows you to take what was previously a liquid waste and either dump it onsite or move it to your local solid waste disposal facility.

Johnstown, Pennsylvania
At Ecotech Hydro Excavation, we strive to partner with companies who not only provide wonderful products but also share our belief that giving back to the community remains at the core of what we do. The Ecotech team recently visited the GapVax production facility in historic Johnstown, Pennsylvania. We were excited to see first-hand where our state-of-the-art hydro-excavation trucks are built. The process begins as raw steel and ends with a fully equipped truck—built to last through a generation. It was truly amazing to see up close.

Lazaretto Quarantine Station, Essington, PA
At Ecotech, we believe that the successful preservation of historical artifacts is critical to the success of any project. Ecotech recently completed a fascinating project at the Lazaretto quarantine station located in Essington, PA. The origin of this amazing historical site runs back to the 1790s when it was constructed in response to devastating yellow fever epidemics that were sweeping across the countryside. These fever outbreaks were so severe that their presence forced the newly formed American government to flee Philadelphia (the nation’s capital at the time).
