SUE is an engineering process that accurately identifies the quality of subsurface utility information - the data and techniques needed to effectively design and construct a project. T-Rex has worked with numerous engineering firms, city municipalities, and TXDOT to provide SUE service on some or all Quality level applications A through D. For the SUE application T-Rex can cut or core the hole (if in concrete), vacuum excavate with air or use our heavy duty hydro excvators to locate the line, provide X-Y-Z coordinates, backfill the hole according to regulations, restore the concrete or core, and provide a CAD drawn test hole data sheet. If necessary we will provide project management for traffic control, street cut permits and sidewalk closures. We will play as large or small of a roll as necessary...just let us know what you need.

Elevator Industry

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:29:16 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!

Air Knife Vacuum excavation

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:51:53 GMT

Some times hydro excavation is not the best way to go. Many competitors do either air excavation or hydro excavation exclusively. At T-Rex we are proud of our capability of doing both. In addition to our 19 Gap Vax hydro excavation trucks we also have a Vacmaster 4000 for when you need that specialtouch. The air truck has a much smaller blower so it's not quite as fast as hydro excavation and does not dig as deep. That said, it does dump dry so excavated material can be re-used for backfill which is particlarly helpful in cases of environmental remediation. Used in the proper setting the "air knife" can knock you a home run.

For more information about our Air Knife services, Contact Karl or one of our qualified experts in excavation.

Hydro Excavation - Shreveport, LA

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 20:22:09 GMT

T-Rex is pleased to announce our first office outside of Texas...Shreveport Louisiana! Much like our experience in West Texas, T-Rex did not so much choose Louisiana for hydro excavation and super sucker services as our clients told us we had to! Prolific natural gas drilling in the Haynesville Shale deposit has lead to a freenzy of drilling rigs that need to be cleaned and require our masssive 5000 CFM positive displacement blowers and heavy duty sludge pumps to move drilling mud out of storing vessels and into transport vehicles for recycling. In the drilling Industry our equipment are commanly known as super suckers. But don't let that fool you, our fleet are still full blown hydro excavators and in our nine years of operation T-Rex has done plenty of work in Louisiana . We are excited and humbled to bring our competitive spirt and new cathodic protection services to cajun country. Some things never change and as always you can count on us 24/7/365.. just pick up...

Tower Erection

Fri, 28 May 2010 16:27:54 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.
