    What Is Vacuum Excavation?

    Vacuum excavation, also called hydrovac digging, uses pressurised water to break up soil and a powerful vacuum to extract it, leaving underground assets untouched. 

    It’s the safest way to excavate around live services like fibre optics, gas lines, stormwater drains, and electrical cables.

    Frequently asked questions:

    What is hydro vacuum excavation used for?

    It’s a non-destructive digging method that uses water and suction to expose underground utilities safely, avoiding damage to pipes or cables.

    Yes. It’s widely used near sensitive infrastructure because it reduces the risk of accidental damage during excavation.

     It’s ideal for utility locating, tight access areas, or sites requiring minimal disruption and environmental impact.

    A dry vacuum does not include the high pressure water that a hydro vacuum system offers.
