Services
Vacuum excavation hire
Our vacuum excavation services provide safe, precise ground removal using high-powered suction technology. This method eliminates utility strike risks while reducing reinstatement costs. Available with operator support or as self-hire equipment, our units handle projects from small utility works to large infrastructure developments. The system's versatility allows operation in confined spaces and environmentally sensitive areas.
Tracked-Vac services
Our tracked vacuum excavators navigate challenging terrains including soft ground, slopes, and restricted access sites. Designed for agricultural, forestry, and remote location projects, these units maintain excavation efficiency without ground damage. The tracked system distributes weight evenly while maintaining suction power for deep excavations.
Ground penetrating radar surveys
We combine GPR technology with excavation expertise to create accurate subsurface maps. This non-invasive technique identifies utilities, voids, and structures before excavation begins. Our surveys enhance project planning and risk mitigation for construction and infrastructure projects.
Emergency excavation
Our emergency services operate continuously with rapid deployment capabilities nationwide. Specialised teams handle urgent utility repairs, collapsed structures, and infrastructure failures. Equipment availability and experienced operators ensure swift resolution of critical excavation needs.
Remote-controlled excavation
Our remote-operated systems enable precise excavation in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas. Operators control boom movement and suction power from safe distances, ideal for confined spaces and high-risk environments. This technology enhances safety while maintaining excavation accuracy.
