Local operators in Boston, Massachusetts working in Utility construction (National Grid/Eversource gas), Municipal sewer & water (MWRA), and deep foundation & tunnel construction use rentals to add capacity for a specific job and return it when the work is done.
Boston's post-Big-Dig underground is a maze of tunnels, MBTA lines and utilities packed under filled land, so gas main replacement and foundation work demand precise hydrovac excavation to avoid strikes. National Grid and Eversource leak-prone cast-iron gas mains keep potholing crews busy across the region.

Common jobs for a hi-rail vacuum truck in Boston
Signal and cable potholing
Daylight buried signal, power, and communications cable along the track in a hydrovac configuration, exposing lines safely without strikes before boring, trenching, or foundation work.
Culvert and drainage cleaning
Vacuum out clogged culverts, drainage pipes, and ditches within the right-of-way to restore flow and protect the subgrade, including structures with no road access.
Mud spot and fouled ballast removal
Remove pumping mud spots, saturated fines, and fouled ballast from the track section so crews can restore drainage and stabilize the roadbed.
Catch basin and yard sump cleaning
Pump standing water, sludge, and grit from catch basins, sumps, and pits in rail yards and around bridges where wheeled trucks cannot position.
