Mud runs in our blood
Finding better ways. Every day.
At Vermeer, finding a better way is just in our nature. We manufacture hydro-vacuum excavation equipment that uses the power of water to help prevent damage to critical underground utilities. Our engineers, and our entire team, are driven, relentless, and never satisfied. We never stop improving. Because mud runs in our blood. Metaphorically speaking.

How it works
At Vermeer, we make hydro-excavation equipment that uses a high-pressure water jet to break up soil, while a vacuum system simultaneously removes the loosened material. This reduces the need for brute force methods such as manual or mechanical digging. It helps reduce the risk of damaging underground utilities, while making a much softer environmental impact.
An underground utility construction game-changer

Minimizes damage
Gently excavating soil helps reduce the risk of damaging underground power lines, water pipes or cables.

Precision
Where accuracy is crucial, soft-dig technology enables precise excavation around sensitive infrastructure.

Tidier jobsites
Vacuum excavation techniques leave a much softer environmental impact, compared to traditional digging methods.
The Vermeer story
What began as a one-man job shop started by Gary Vermeer on a farm in central Iowa in 1948 is now a globally-recognized industrial and agricultural equipment powerhouse.
