Vacuum Excavation

Non-Destructive Digging & Vacuum Excavation in Yenda

Non-destructive digging (NDD) and vacuum excavation is a precise and minimally invasive method of digging.

This method allows for precise digging to safely expose underground utilities such as gas lines, electric cables, or water pipes without damaging them. Vacuum excavation minimises the need for manual digging, providing a quick and efficient way to expose what you need.

It serves a different purpose than traditional excavating, which uses heavy machinery and is more suited for large-scale earthmoving projects or situations where underground utilities are not a concern. Non-destructive digging and vacuum excavation is most useful when precision digging is required to hollow out small, narrow spaces without potentially damaging nearby utilities or infrastructure.

Our Process

With years of experience in the industry, we’ve developed a tried-and-true method of vacuum excavating that works every time.

1. Loosen up the Soil & Debris
We use our high-pressure commercial water jet to effectively break up and loosen the compacted soil and debris, allowing for easier and safer excavation.
2. Remove Extracted Material
The loosened soil and debris are then efficiently vacuumed up into a tank, ensuring a clean and clear excavation site.
3. Responsible Disposal of Debris
All extracted materials are stored and responsibly disposed of at an appropriate local waste management facility

Purpose of Vacuum Excavating

You may be wondering what is the purpose of vacuum excavating and how does it differ from normal excavation services. Well, this method is often used for utility maintenance, construction, and repair work, as it minimises the risk of damaging buried infrastructure like gas lines, water pipes, or cables. It's safer and more precise than traditional excavation techniques, making it ideal for highly sensitive areas.
