Underground gas lines, communications and
publicly owned utilities
are usually a maze of cables and infrastructure that
‘in the main’ are poorly mapped.
Traditional mechanical excavation methods are not only messy, labour and equipment intensive but can also seriously affect hidden substructures and harm the environment.
Today, non-destructive excavation (NDE or non destructive digging NDD) is a more precise method of operation, using either pressurised water (or air) to mobilise soil, along with an industrial strength vacuum to simultaneously excavate soil with minimal environmental impact.
It offers safer working conditions, is cost effective and eliminates many of the on site risks. NDD around utilities can be done in a fraction of the time compared with conventional methods.
Whether it be power, gas, water or telecommunication lines – hydro vacuum excavation allows for safe and efficient ‘excavation’ that mechanical equipment is simply not capable of achieving.
From potholing and excavation to safely planting trees in areas with valuable underground assets (even the straightening of power poles without the need for removal) – the advantages NDD technology brings, supersedes older more invasive and generally costly methods.
It’s safe, clean, environmentally friendly and efficient.
Plus, NDD has the ability to keep a pit dry of ground water for service technicians, trades and inspectors to ensure minimal disruption.
With approximately $50 billion government investment into infrastructure, the way we work is changing for the better.
NDD now plays a vital role in not only protecting infrastructure, but also the environment with reduced landfill, reduced transport and fuel costs, which benefit us at a local and global level.
