Vacuum Excavation

Vacuum excavation or non-destructive digging (NDD) is fast becoming the preferred method of excavation in the civil construction, mining and infrastructure industries. It significantly reduces the risk of damaging underground assets when compared to manual or mechanical digging methods.

This is from safely breaking up the ground through the use of high-pressure water and using a high powered vacuum to suck up the debris into a holding tank. Our vacuum excavation services can be conducted near and around water networks, telecommunications, power or gas lines as well as have the capability to excavate in confined spaces with minimal risk and without any potential damage caused to those services.
