Get your excavation done the right way. Save time, money and environmental impact by using hydro excavation. Our state-of-the-art Allvac AV7000H hydro excavation machine uses a combination of a water blaster and an industrial vacuum unit to loosen and remove soil and debris, to safely and reliably dig without cutting or impacting services hidden in the ground.
What is Hydro Excavation?
The hydro excavation uses pressurised water to safely excavate soil while protecting underground utilities and minimising environmental impact. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, including: -Potholing -Slot trenching -Daylighting utilities -Underground service installations -Vacuum excavation
Benefits of Hydro Excavation
Safety
You can reduce the risk of utility strikes during excavation projects by precisely removing soil with pressurised water, preventing damage to buried infrastructure. Additionally, its non-destructive nature minimises the likelihood of injuries to workers and bystanders compared to traditional digging methods involving heavy machinery.
Efficiency
Hydro excavation offers unparalleled efficiency in excavating buried utilities and delicate infrastructure, as it allows for precise control and minimal disruption to surrounding areas. By swiftly removing soil, hydro excavation accelerates project timelines, enabling quicker completion of tasks compared to conventional excavation methods.
Versatility
You can tackle a wide range of soil types and environmental conditions, from sandy soils to rocky terrains and everything in between. Whether for trenching, potholing, or daylighting, hydro excavation adapts seamlessly to diverse project requirements, making it an ideal choice for various industries such as construction, utilities, and municipal services.
Environmental
You can minimise soil disturbance and reduce the likelihood of contamination to surrounding areas, particularly in sensitive ecosystems or urban environments using hydro excavation. Additionally, the use of water as the primary excavation agent promotes sustainability by mitigating the need for harmful chemicals and preserving natural resources compared to traditional excavation methods.
Reliability
Hydro excavation is a flexible form of excavation, requiring only one truck and one operator. This means we’re available 24/7 for your hydro excavation needs, even in emergency situations. Our brand new machine means you don't have to worry about it being out of action when you need it most.
