With a raft of recognised industry safety codes in place to ensure the ongoing supply of utilities to consumers and businesses alike, Excavac has been working alongside councils, suppliers and private organisations providing safe, industry leading methods for protection, installation and repair of underground infrastructure, since 2007.

With tens of thousands of kilometres of mains cabling stretched across NSW (including over 20,000km in Sydney alone) employing experience and knowhow when it comes to construction service installations is crucial.

Providing hydro excavation services, to civil construction sites, utility installation and location projects, Excavac delivers innovative, precise non destructive excavation services when and where you need it.

From cables and pipes to sewerage systems and other underground assets our systems are not only cost effective but also;
  • Vastly reduces risk
  • Prevents damage
  • Eliminates the need for bulky and expensive excavators
  • Are environmentally friendly
  • Are quieter and can be done at night
We are also committed to ensuring only the highest standard of safety and environmental protection, abiding by all Workplace Health and Safety guidelines and licensed by the relevant authorities.

Faster and less invasive than traditional methods, hydro excavation is controlled, requires less equipment and is ideal for large-scale ‘turnkey projects’.

Using industry leading sucker trucks, the process also allows for moving soil in a safe, environmentally responsible manner. 

When it comes to residential and local infrastructure work traffic disruptions are also reduced as the equipment required for non-destructive excavation work does not need to be parked right next to the affected site.

Working smarter, more efficiently and more cost-effectively affords greater control over our impact on the environment, a reduction in disposal costs as well as transportation time and resources.

Proudly Australian owned and operated, Excavac services The Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands, Illawarra, Sydney Metro and South Coast.

Beyond non-destructive digging, vacuum trucks are also widely used for sewer and storm drain cleaning, septic tank emptying, and catch basin maintenance. Their versatility makes them indispensable for various site management tasks.

Environmental degradation is a growing concern, and improper waste disposal doesn't just harm ecosystems — it also poses significant risks to workers and the public. When waste is not managed correctly, the concentration and total mass of discharged substances can create serious health and safety hazards. Beyond the environmental and personal impacts, operators risk substantial fines for non-compliance with waste disposal regulations. High-performance, non-destructive equipment like hydro vacuum trucks makes pit cleaning quick, efficient, and thorough. Hydro vacuum cleaning of electrical and communication pits is widely regarded as the most practical method for ensuring these areas are properly maintained. This innovative technique is incredibly versatile and offers solutions for a wide range of applications, including: Removing waste Cleaning sewer systems, stormwater drains, and pipes Electrical and communication pit cleaning Liquid waste removal Tank and vessel cleaning Emergency spill response Scheduled maintenance shutdowns Hydro vacuum cleaning also plays a critical role in the petroleum industry, where it is used to clean storage tanks, manage spills, and remove drilling mud, cuttings, cement, and brine water from production tanks. In fact, these services have become virtually mandatory in modern industrial and commercial operations due to their efficiency and safety. Whether dealing with public facilities, shopping centres, large industrial sites, rental properties, or renovation projects, programmed maintenance involving hydro vacuum cleaning can prevent minor waste issues from becoming major, complex problems. By addressing waste removal and cleaning needs proactively, businesses can ensure compliance, improve safety, and minimise environmental impact. Beyond its practical benefits, hydro vacuum cleaning is also cost-effective. It reduces downtime, limits labour-intensive processes, and ensures thorough results. These features make it an attractive choice for industries aiming to improve their environmental footprint without compromising operational efficiency. Sustainability starts with rethinking how we treat waste. Employing advanced cleaning techniques like hydro vacuum cleaning helps preserve our environment by delivering efficient, safe, and technologically responsible solutions for water, waste, and energy management.
