A money-saving investment

The problem: You need to expose buried utilities safely and conveniently while avoiding any damage to underground pipes and cables. 

Naturally, you need to keep workers, employees and the public out of harm’s way at all times, plus any work needs to be efficient, clean and affordable.

The solution: Hydro Excavation.

Also known as non-destructive digging (NDD), hydro excavation involves using powerful jets of water to loosen the substrate before removing any debris by sucking it up into an on-site tank.

Using the same principles as a vacuum cleaner, the process manages the task of exposing everything from gas and optic fibre substructures to electricity cables – in fact just about all susceptible underground utilities.

It is environmentally friendly, affords reduced reinstatement costs and is suitable for both civil and major infrastructure projects - including the recent Sunbury Line Upgrade in Victoria, which will use non-destructive digging to locate and expose underground services and cables as part of newly announced establishment works.

What makes non-destructive digging different is not only the way it works but the almost total elimination of risk compared to mechanical excavation, jackhammering and drilling. It is also fast, safe and efficient.
