Confirm utility information, markings, permits, and exposure points.
Utility exposure
Daylighting buried utilities with hydrovac support.
Controlled excavation and vacuum recovery.
EGM supports daylighting to expose buried utilities and infrastructure at defined locations. Hydrovac methods can help crews remove soil with a controlled approach after locates and site planning.

How the work comes together
Know what is below before work advances.
Daylighting provides visual confirmation of buried infrastructure at selected points. The scope begins with utility locating, permits, access, soil conditions, and the project owner’s excavation controls.
EGM plans the excavation and spoil recovery around the requested exposure. The appropriate method, clearance procedures, and disposal path depend on the site and material.

Common questions
What to know before calling.
What is daylighting?
It is the controlled exposure of a buried utility or other subsurface feature so its location can be seen and verified.
Are utility locates still required?
Yes. Project owners and crews must follow applicable utility locating and excavation requirements before work begins.
