Melbourne Hydro Excavations

We Are The Leading Vacuum Truck Provider, Using The Latest Technology And Most Advance Trucks In The World.

What is Hydro Excavation?
Hydro Excavation is a non-destructive digging (NDD) technique that uses a combination of high-pressure water and vacuum suction to safely expose underground utilities and assets without causing damage.

The process involves two key steps:

High-Pressure Water Jetting – Water is sprayed at high pressure to break up soil, clay, or other surface material.

Vacuum Extraction – The loosened material is then extracted using a powerful vacuum system and collected into on-board storage tanks.

This method ensures underground infrastructure such as pipes, cables, and roots are safely uncovered and preserved.

Why Hydro Vacuum Excavation is the Preferred Method
Hydro Excavation is the safest and most efficient solution when working near essential infrastructure, including mains power, telecommunications, sewage, and fibre optic lines. It significantly reduces the risk of accidental damage, costly repairs, and service disruptions. This method allows for precise, controlled digging with minimal environmental impact and maximum safety.

Common Applications of Hydro Excavation:

• Confined space and restricted access digging

• Utility servicing and repairs

• Locating and exposing gas, water, and electrical mains

• Trenching and piling

• Tree root exposure and protection

• Debris, waste, and rubbish removal

• Pipe and sewer cleaning

• Degreasing and maintenance of underground infrastructure

• Environmental clean-up and recovery

• Mining and resource site maintenance

 

Storm Water and Sewer Smoke Testing

At Plumbtrax Infrastructure Services, we specialise in Storm Water and Sewer Smoke Testing, a non-invasive and highly effective method for identifying leaks, illegal connections, and structural defects in drainage systems.

Why Choose Smoke Testing?

Detects Leaks & Faults: Identifies cracks, broken pipes, and missing or defective seals.
Prevents Water Ingress & Pollution: Helps prevent stormwater from infiltrating sewer lines, reducing environmental risks.
Cost-Effective & Non-Destructive: Avoids unnecessary excavations by pinpointing problem areas quickly.
Compliance & Regulatory Checks: Ensures your drainage system meets local council and environmental regulations.

How It Works

We introduce non-toxic, white smoke into stormwater and sewer lines to identify leaks and unauthorised connections.
The visible smoke exits through faulty connections, broken pipes, or surface openings, allowing our team to locate and document issues efficiently.

Ideal For:

Residential & Commercial Properties
Councils & Water Authorities
Industrial Facilities & Construction Sites

Ensure the integrity of your drainage system with Plumbtrax Infrastructure Services.

Infrastructure CCTV Inspections

At Plumbtrax Infrastructure Services, we provide specialised CCTV inspections for stormwater and sewer infrastructure, delivering accurate diagnostics and detailed reporting to identify blockages, structural defects, and system inefficiencies.

Why Choose CCTV Inspections?

Pinpoint Blockages & Damage: Identifies cracks, root intrusions, pipe collapses, and debris buildup.
Minimizes Excavation Costs: Avoids unnecessary digging by visually inspecting pipes and drains.
High-Definition Footage & Reports: Captures clear imagery to assess pipe conditions and recommend repairs.
Ensures Compliance & Maintenance Planning: Helps councils, developers, and property owners meet regulations and maintain drainage efficiency.

How It Works

Using advanced robotic and push rod cameras, we inspect underground infrastructure, providing real-time footage and recorded reports.
This method allows for a thorough assessment of stormwater and sewer lines without disruption to the surrounding environment.

Ideal For:

Civil & Commercial Drainage Networks
Municipal & Council Stormwater Systems
Property Developers & Construction Projects
Routine Maintenance & Pre-Purchase Assessments

Ensure early detection of drainage issues and protect your infrastructure with Plumbtrax CCTV Inspections.
