Quick, Clean and Precise

Also known as “non destructive digging in Brisbane ”, “hydro excavation”, “potholing”, “hydro-trenching” or “soft digging”. Vacuum Excavation in Brisbane is the process of using pressurized water and a vacuum source to remove the material which includes soil, slurry and small rocks. 

Vacuum Excavation in Brisbane is a non-mechanical and non-destructive process that combines pressurized water and a high flow of moving air to simultaneously excavate and evacuate soils at a controlled rate. The soil and water slurry are conveyed via a suction hose to a truck-mounted storage tank.

This process allows for quick, clean and precise evacuations which require less backfill, less labour force, less restoration and less environmental impact than conventional digging methods.
