水力掘削の需要が急増している

ハイドロ掘削（Hydrovac）市場は過去半世紀で急成長を遂げた。世界のハイドロバックトラック市場の2021年調査報告書によると、ハイドロバックトラック市場は2021年から2026年まで大幅な上昇を続けると予測されています。

So why is this occurring?

Contractors across different construction and utility sectors have realized the efficiency and operational benefits of vacuum excavators compared to other digging and trenching methods. Additionally, as more utility lines have been moving to underground installation, utility strikes are a growing concern. Hydrovac systems eliminate the need for striking shovels or backhoes and the potential for the sudden impacts that lead to utility strikes.

How Do MetaFLO’s Reagents Cater to This Growth?

Hydro Excavation generates liquid slurry. Traditionally, this slurry is dumped at various receiving sites to be dealt with. The slurry is then placed in either bins/pits or spread out on drying beds to dry. This method takes up  space and can be problematic in rainy or snowy weather. With MetaFLO’s technology, receiving sites solidify the slurry within minutes of receiving the material. Thus, the footprint of the receiving sites and overall operating costs are drastically lowered. After solidification, the dry, soil-like material is loaded into dump trucks and transported to the final disposal site.

See the process in action below.

Step 1: Receive the material

 

Step 2: Mix in MetaFLO’s solidification reagent

 

Step 3: The slurry is solidified and ready for disposal!
