HDD & Hydrovac Contractor in New York
Western New York and the Southern Tier sit directly north of our yard along I-90 — close enough for day work, cold enough that winter method matters.
Our New York coverage runs Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties up through Dunkirk, Fredonia, Hamburg, and the Buffalo metro, plus the Jamestown and Olean corridors in the Southern Tier.
New York adds its own excavation-notice regime and one of the harshest winter working environments in our territory — lake-effect snow off Erie and frost depths that dictate both cover requirements and how excavation gets done for months at a time.

Dig Safely New York
New York's Code Rule 753 governs excavation notification through Dig Safely New York, with defined advance notice, a tolerance zone, and explicit requirements on how excavators work inside it. Hand digging and vacuum excavation are the compliant methods in the zone, and the rule is enforced — our crews document the exposure, not just the ticket.
NYSDOT and municipal permits
State highway crossings require a NYSDOT work permit with drawings, insurance, and a maintenance-and-protection-of-traffic plan; counties, towns, and villages add their own. Winter moratoriums on pavement work are common and have to be built into the schedule rather than discovered in November.
Winter work in the snow belt
Between the lake-effect belt and Southern Tier frost, a significant portion of the year is frozen-ground work. Heated-water hydrovac lets us keep potholing and pit excavation moving when mechanical digging inside a tolerance zone would be reckless, and it is the practical way to keep a bore schedule alive through a WNY winter.

Do you work in the Buffalo area?
Yes. Buffalo and the surrounding suburbs are within normal daily range from Edinboro along I-90, and we run both drilling and hydrovac crews there.
Can you excavate in frozen ground?
Yes — heated-water hydrovac cuts frost and frozen ground, which is how potholing and pit work continue through the western New York winter.
Do you handle Dig Safely New York tickets?
We place and manage the tickets, verify the marks in the field, and vacuum-excavate inside the tolerance zone as Code Rule 753 requires.
