    Vacuum excavation can also be used to install culverts and cattle guards, which are used to allow the safe passage of vehicles and livestock across waterways and other obstacles.
  • Slot trenching:
    Vacuum excavation can create narrow trenches for laying pipes and cables without disrupting the surrounding soil or damaging existing infrastructure.
  • Underground line exposing:
    Vacuum excavation can expose underground lines, pipes, and cables for repair, replacement, or maintenance.
  • Installing new underground facilities:
    Vacuum excavation can be used to install new underground facilities, such as pipes, cables, and utility lines, without disrupting the surrounding area.
  • Digging under existing structures:
    Vacuum excavation can create tunnels under existing structures, such as roads and buildings, without damaging them.
  • Trenching across conflicting services:
    Vacuum excavation can create trenches for laying pipes and cables in areas with conflicting services, such as gas lines or water mains, without damaging them.
  • Material/debris removal:
    Vacuum excavation can remove materials and debris from excavation sites quickly and efficiently, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
  • Pipeline tie-ins/maintenance:
    Vacuum excavation can be used for pipeline tie-ins and maintenance work, such as removing debris or repairing damaged sections.
  • Sludge removal:
    Vacuum excavation can remove sludge from tanks and pits, ensuring that they are clean and safe.

    Vacuum excavation can clean pits and conduits, removing sediment and debris that can cause blockages and damage.

What is Vacuum Excavation In Brisbane?

Our vacuum trucks break up dirt with pressurised water before removing it with the help of a vacuum system and depositing it in a debris holding tank where it can be disposed of safely.

A truck with a pump and a tank is known as a vacuum truck or vacuum tanker. The pump is made to pneumatically suction liquids, sludges, and slurries into the truck’s tank from a place (frequently underground) through suction lines with a diameter of typically 2-4″.

The least amount of damage to existing and subsurface fixtures of pipes, cabling, and electricity or other lines is one of the key advantages of employing a vacuum excavator. There is less need for backfilling because the work done from a vacuum excavator is likewise more exact and accurate. Because vacuum excavation is more modern and controlled than traditional digging techniques, it is also significantly safer.

Since the materials are excavated but kept inside the storage unit by the suction mechanisms, the workstation is made cleaner. Vacuum hydro excavation is a more economical option because of how quickly materials can be removed. Because there are no chemicals used, utilising a vacuum excavator is also a more environmentally friendly way.

How Much Does Vacuum Excavation In Brisbane Cost?

The size of the area that has to be excavated and the difficulty of the task will both affect how much it will cost and how long it will take. We provide free estimates and hourly rates over the phone and these can change depending on the difficulty of your project.

It may occasionally be quicker, simpler, and safer to excavate with a hydro excavation vacuum truck, depending on the job’s scale. The time it takes to dig with a vacuum truck can also be influenced by the type of ground. For instance, it can be significantly faster to dig through sand than it is to dig through a rocky subsoil.

Hydro Vacuum Excavation Is A Safer Alternative On Brisbane Sites

When subterranean utility services are present in the digging area, it is highly advised to dig with a vacuum truck, as it’s a safer method of excavation. Always call SEQ VAC to find and map the area if you are unsure of what is below the surface.

We provide a variety of modern vacuum excavation trucks and excavation equipment at SEQ VAC, ranging in size from small 1000L trailer-mounted machines to large 12,000L truck-mounted units. Our most often utilised truck sizes fall into the 5,000L to 8,000L range.

One of our vacuum trucks is normally capable of excavating up to 3.5 metres deep, depending on the type of soil you are working with. For the safety of our operators, on some projects our vacuum trucks are utilised to dig in holes that have been manually dug and adequately shored and benched.

Non Destructive Digging Brisbane

Simply put, it is a technique and form of digging that uses a strong vacuum system’s high-velocity suction. In comparison to traditional excavation methods like jack hammering and machine excavation, it is frequently utilised to aid in visually locating underground utilities and service lines. High-pressure water jets are used to break up the dirt on a surface while a mobile vacuum device removes the loose soil.

Hydro excavation uses pressurized water to create a vacuum inside their buckets which sucks up soil and rocks from the bottom of the hole they’re digging.

A vacuum excavation unit has a wide range of applications and is only constrained by your imagination. It excels at trenching and open-hole excavations. For additional details, or to book an estimate, contact our team today!

FAQ'S

What is hydro excavation, and how does it work?

Hydro excavation is a process of digging using high-pressure water jets and vacuum suction to break up and remove soil or other materials. It is a safe and precise method of excavation that minimizes damage to underground utilities and other structures. The water jet loosens the soil, while the vacuum system removes the slurry and debris from the excavation site.

What are the benefits of using hydro excavation?

Hydro excavation offers several benefits over traditional excavation methods, including increased safety, reduced damage to underground utilities, minimized environmental impact, and improved efficiency. It is also more precise and can be used in a wide range of applications, such as digging trenches, potholing, exposing underground utilities, and cleaning out catch basins.

About Brisbane, QLD

Brisbane ( (listen) BRIZ-bən) is the capital and most populous city of Queensland, and the third-most populous city in Australia and Oceania with a population of approximately 2.6 million. Brisbane lies at the centre of South East Queensland, which includes several other regional centres and cities. The central business district is situated within a peninsula of the Brisbane River about 15 km (9 mi) from its mouth at Moreton Bay. Brisbane is located in the hilly floodplain of the Brisbane River Valley between Moreton Bay and the Taylor and D'Aguilar mountain ranges. It sprawls across several local government areas, most centrally the City of Brisbane. The demonym of Brisbane is Brisbanite.The city is also called Meanjin, the Aboriginal name referring to land on which parts of the city are built. Aboriginal groups claiming traditional ownership of the area include the Yugara, Turrbal and Quandamooka peoples. Brisbane occupies the land of a number of Aboriginal language groups, primarily the Yugara language group which includes the Turrbal language.The Moreton Bay penal settlement was founded in 1824 at Redcliffe as a place for secondary offenders from the Sydney colony, and soon moved to North Quay in 1825 on the banks of the Brisbane River, so named for Sir Thomas Brisbane. German Lutherans established the first free settlement of Zion Hill at Nundah in 1838, and in 1859 Brisbane was chosen as Queensland's capital when the state separated from New South Wales. By the late 19th century, the city had grown into a major port and centre of immigration.
