Melbourne Hydro & Vacuum Excavations
What is Hydro Excavation?
Hydro excavation is a two-step process:
- High-pressure water breaks up the soil.
- Vacuum suction removes the slurry into a debris tank.
This technique allows us to dig with precision, protecting underground services like water mains, electrical lines, gas pipes, and telecommunications infrastructure.
When to Use Hydro Excavation…
- Utility Service Exposure
- Trenching & Potholing
- Crossover Installations
- Drainage & Pipe Access
- Tight Access or High-Risk Areas
