Vacuum Excavation also known as Vacuum Digging, Hydro Excavation or Non-Destructive Digging (NDD).
This method of digging is considered best practice practice for digging without damaging existing underground utilities and for the safe location of underground utilities. Traditional methods of excavation are: using a excavator/backhoe, chain/trencher digger, auger, or digging by hand.
This is used to find the alignment of services and infrastructure underground without having to dig any holes
Once underground utilities or services are located with an electronic service locator we provide a safe and efficient way to safely expose and locate services, this allows for mechanical type excavation to proceed without damage to utilities. With vacuum excavation we can cut trenches in locations difficult to access allow for repairs or installation of existing or new services.
Pipe Jet Rodding (to remove blockages, tree roots) is the use of a specially designed rotary jetting tip that is sent up conduits or pipes to cut through tree roots and to clear other blockages without causing damage to the conduit.
We can easily de water communication pits, manholes and tanks and remove water from low access areas up to 50 meters away
This includes sucking out water and sludge in electrical, NBN, and communication pits so work can proceed. When we suck water and sludge from a pit we de water the underground conduit and pit infrastructure.
With this method we use vacuum extraction to install a a draw string in pipes, conduits or ducts, we perform this work for various industries including electrical contractors.
This is the preferred way of installing a draw rope for many contractors and at times its the only option. This task is performed by setting the vacuum hose on one end of the underground conduit, on the other end we insert a light string with a small plastic nose, in the past we have been able to suck the light draw string 150 meters.
A lot of our vacuum excavation work is performed at night or after hours. This work is usually for civil contractors performing road works, or other civil works where vacuum excavation after hours has less impact on busy motorways, or busy precinct’s.
