It is very simple process, a high-pressure water set between 2000 psi and 5000 psi depending on the task, this high pressure water spray blasts the soil into a slurry, and this is then removed from the trench or hole by a vacuum hose that is either 100mm or 150mm and stored in the storage tank on the truck for disposal to an approved waste disposal facility.
Because it’s a fast way of digging with out damaging existing underground utilities this includes, NBN, Electrical, Telecoms, water mains, sewage and more.
Like any sub-surface digging or excavation it depends on what is under ground, with good soil the digging will be quicker than expected, for example after setting up we can hydro excavate 1 cubic meter in 25 minutes, digging through other substrates like shale, stiff clay takes longer.
5th Star Vacuum Excavations provide services for all Industrial, Civil, Commercial and Private Sectors. We have completed work for councils in the SEQ region, state government, departments, TMR and Roadtek, utility providers; civil works; engineering and construction companies and road construction, telecommunication networks, electricians, plumbers, concrete and road base cutting business’s
Yes, we are legally compliant to perform vacuum excavation for any tier 1 company, or Government department our equipment is new and compliant to the recommended Australian Standards, our safety documentation and protocols are in place and implemented.
Public Liability insured to the value of $20 000 000.00 Australian dollars.
We try not to over extend our self or capabilities, so we target vacuum excavation or hydro excavation work in South East Queensland, this includes:
* Logan
* Brisbane
* Redlands
* Mortion Bay
* Gold Coast
* Sunshine Coast
* Somerset Region
* Toowoomba Region
Yes we do, a lot of our work is performed a at night or weekends for road works because this is the safest or less invasive time to perform vacuum excavation
