What is Vacuum Excavation?
Vacuum excavation is the process of using high-pressure water jets to break up solid ground including clay, sand, rock and soil after which the remaining spoil is then suctioned into the tank of a vacuum truck for later disposal. Vacuum Excavation is used to safely excavate around underground services, underground utilities, tree roots, telecommunication cables and power cables for the easy repair, maintenance or relocation.
Also known as Non-destructive digging or hydro excavation this service is the safest way to excavate around underground services, as it is non-invasive, cost effective and accurate in underground utility locating, reducing the risk associated with damaging these assets. These vacuum excavation techniques also minimise the impact to streetscape, reducing disruption to traffic flows and other surface activities.
What are the benefits of vacuum excavation?

Safe Dig utilises the latest non-destructive vacuum excavation technologies, ensuring all project sites are left with minimal damage. Vacuum excavation is a safe way to expose underground assets and allows cost effective and accurate non-destructive excavation around these utilities.
This method of non-destructive digging is clean and non-invasive simultaneously sucking debris into the vacuum truck and exposing utilities such as pipelines, phone lines and fibre optics. Vacuum excavation also provides a solution to digging in confined spaces and built up areas reducing risk to personal and minimising OH&S and environmental risks that are commonly associated with deep excavation.
