Utility DayLighting
Utility Inspection, Pipeline Exposure, Emergency Repairs


EGM, Inc Daylighting Services
Daylighting, offered by EGM, Inc., is a precise and non-destructive hydroexcavation technique used to expose and visually inspect underground utilities and structures. Utilizing high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum system, daylighting safely removes soil to reveal buried utilities such as gas lines, water pipes, electrical conduits, and telecommunications cables. This method ensures minimal disruption to the surrounding area, significantly reducing the risk of damaging existing infrastructure. Ideal for utility location, pipeline exposure, site preparation, and emergency repairs, daylighting provides an efficient, accurate, and environmentally responsible solution for a variety of excavation needs. Trust EGM, Inc. for safe and effective daylighting services that enhance project safety and efficiency.
