Hydrovac Services in Calgary, Alberta
Our hydrovac (hydro-excavation) services are a go-to solution for exposed utility daylighting, slot trenching, potholing, and sensitive excavation across Calgary and Alberta. The method combines high-pressure water with vacuum suction to safely remove soil and debris without mechanical damage to adjacent utilities. This non-destructive approach is ideal in tight right-of-ways, under road surfaces, and in areas with dense underground infrastructure.
Urban Construction in Calgary, Alberta
In Calgary’s urban environment, whether in Kensington, Inglewood, or in the heart of downtown, hydrovac lets us precisely expose gas, water, telecom, or electrical lines prior to tie-ins or repair. Because the work is cleaner and more controlled, you’ll see less reinstatement, fewer utility hits, and safer worksites.
From residential jobs in NW Calgary and SW Calgary, commercial locations in NE Calgary or SE Calgary industrial areas, our hydrovac fleet is scalable to match your site’s requirements.

Calgary Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Services
At Double M Group, our horizontal directional drilling services , also known as HDD, deliver precision underground utility installation with minimal surface disruption.
Whether your project is a telecom conduit under 14th Street SW, a gas line crossing in Bowness, or a municipal sewer tie-in in Bridgeland, our team has the experience and equipment to execute complex bore paths without disturbing roads, sidewalks, or landscaping.
Leading-Edge Equipment Gets the Job Done Right
We employ advanced drill rigs, steerable tooling, and subsurface guidance systems to maintain accuracy even in challenging ground conditions including clay, sand, or cobbles.
Our HDD capability is ideal for crossing rivers, highways, rail lines, and dense urban corridors where open trenching is impractical or prohibited. Because the drilled path is shallow to moderate depth, HDD minimizes reinstatement costs and community disruption.
As a Calgary-area firm, we understand municipal permitting, utility coordination, and site constraints in neighbourhoods from the downtown core to areas in the north and south of Calgary.

Professional Calgary Excavation Services
Double M offers full-service excavation services across Calgary for residential, commercial, and municipal clients. Whether the project is site grading in the SW suburbs, trenching in downtown, or bank stabilization along the Elbow River, we handle earthmoving, trenching, rock removal, and more. Our crews use a fleet of excavators, backhoes, dump trucks, and support equipment suited for both tight urban lots and large industrial parcels.
Complete Construction Solutions
We integrate excavation with our HDD and hydrovac capabilities when needed. For instance, we may excavate open trenches in lower-risk zones, switch to HDD for crossings, and rely on hydrovac to daylight utilities. This holistic approach reduces coordination complexity and ensures continuity across disciplines.
Safety, soil management, erosion control, and site restoration are central to our excavation work. In Calgary’s municipalities, we have experience managing permits, erosion and sediment control (ESC), and site access logistics—particularly in areas like SW, NW, or Beltline where staging is limited.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Clients often ask: we cover Calgary, Cochrane, Airdrie, Okotoks, and surrounding municipalities in Southern Alberta. Our base address is 450133 82 St E Aldersyde, Alberta T0L 0A0.
Safety and compliance are core to our operations. Our drills and equipment are annually certified, our crew is trained for various subsurface conditions, and we follow industry standards and municipal permitting requirements.
We work in soils typical to Southern Alberta—clays, silts, mixed glacial till, and shallow bedrock zones. Our equipment and crew experience allow us to adapt to tougher ground conditions in Calgary’s outskirts and river crossings.
While exact timelines vary by project size, site complexity, permitting, and coordination with utilities, small-to-medium HDD or hydrovac jobs in Calgary neighborhoods often take weeks from mobilization to closeout. Larger municipal or utility projects can stretch over months. Our construction management team helps you forecast schedule and manage timelines.
You can complete a project inquiry or contact us at (403) 554-9739. We typically ask for site location (with geospatial info or address), drawings or utility maps if available, project description (type of service: hydrovac, HDD, excavation, CM), and expected timelines or constraints. After a site review or utility scan, we’ll prepare a tailored proposal.
