Frequently Asked Question

When Is Non-Destructive Digging Needed in Sydney?

Vacuum excavation can help expose or verify services where mechanical digging carries too much risk.

Non-destructive digging is considered where existing services are close, their location is uncertain, the ground is congested or the project specification calls for controlled exposure. It can be used to pothole and verify a service before a trench or bore proceeds.

The right exposure method depends on the service, depth, ground and site access. Include known service information in the quote request so the excavation plan can allow for it.
