对水力挖掘的需求日益旺盛

近半个世纪以来，水力挖掘（Hydrovac）市场经历了一次飞速发展。根据 2021 年全球水力挖掘车市场研究报告，预计水力挖掘车市场在 2021 年至 2026 年期间将继续大幅增长。

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!
