A Proud Heritage

In the mid-1960s, Brooklyn Union Gas Company pioneered air-powered soil excavation to safely access buried utility lines without damage. This method, known as "dry excavation," used compressed air to create "potholes" for utility work, offering a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional digging methods.

This led Dravo Corporation to develop a specialized air tool for digging, later named "AirSpade", for utility use. Guardair Corporation acquired AirSpade in 2008, further establishing its role as the premier tool for arborists, landscapers, and utility workers worldwide.

Today, AirSpade continues to lead the industry, providing advanced air-excavation tools renowned for their safety and efficiency.
