Safely remove unwanted materials around underground assets
Working on any construction site
means often being confronted with the need to employ a vacuum (or sucker) truck
when it comes to non-destructive digging.
Whether it’s on-site mud removal, spills or clean-ups, hydro excavation
is the process of safely removing unwanted materials situated around underground assets.
Due to the nature of the work, it is becoming one of the most popular plant being used across construction projects.
However, there are a number of things to consider when choosing the right vacuum truck
for your project including size of spoil tank - as one size does not fit all.
Builders and site owners are normally required by a development consent to have adequate erosion control measures in place at construction sites, meaning there are mandatory regulations for controlling soil erosion including removing accidental spills of soil onto roadways, gutters and public thoroughfares.
By pneumatically sucking sludge, slurries, liquids etc. on-site into the tank of the truck, material is able to be transported to another location for approved/safe disposal.
Advances in technology has seen dramatic improvements the way industry now looks at all this, which has led to not only a decrease in costs of vacuum excavations, but also ensures a safer and more reliable option.
Sucker trucks can also be used for sewer pipe cleaning and septic emptying, clearing of storm drains, sewer lines and catch basins as well as most projects requiring the removal of debris or liquids.

Due to its effectiveness, hydro excavation has become increasingly popular in construction projects. However, selecting the right vacuum truck requires consideration of a number of factors.
Our comprehensive surveying methods, coupled with non-destructive hydro excavation, leave no stone unturned—quite literally—when prioritizing safety.
The advantages of hydro excavation are primarily centred on significantly reducing risks when compared to traditional methods like mechanical excavation, jackhammering, and drilling.
