Project work tied to Scranton's Marcellus Shale gas gathering, midstream pipeline construction, and legacy anthracite mine remediation tends to come in bursts, which is exactly when renting a hi-rail vacuum truck beats owning one.
Scranton and the northeastern PA gas fields host extensive Marcellus gathering-line and compressor-station work where hydrovac trucks daylight buried pipe. The region's abandoned anthracite mine workings and subsidence issues also draw vacuum trucks for remediation and dewatering.
