The safer, technically superior alternative!

Advantages of Hydro Excavation

Industrial, commercial and residential excavation services have come a long way in 20 years. Gone are the days where skid steers, backhoes and bulldozers were your only options, now more economical and time efficient methods such as non-destructive hydro excavation are safer, technically superior alternatives.

Unlike traditional mechanical excavation, damage or disruption to critical underground utilities is avoided while typical excavation projects are performed in a fraction of the time compared to conventional digging methods.

Here’s just a few reasons why non-destructive hydro excavation works:


  • The process is more accurate and efficient
  • It maximises safety
  • There is a marked increase in efficiency and decrease in down time
  • Surrounding areas remain undamaged
  • Self-contained trucks transport removed materials, eliminating the need for additional costs and time associated with haul away equipment

Today, hydro excavation is considered to be a best practice by municipalities, contractors and public utility organisations alike.

Versatility, efficiency, safety, environmental sustainability and cost – just five reasons hydro excavation is breaking new ground.
