HydroVAC ExcavAtOR

SEQ Vacuum Excavation is the leading hydrovac excavator, also known as a hydro excavation truck, is a specialized vehicle that uses high-pressure water jets and a vacuum system to excavate soil and debris. The process involves creating a slurry of water and soil, which is then removed using the vacuum system and deposited into a holding tank on the truck. This approach to excavation is highly effective and efficient, especially for sensitive or hard-to-reach areas where traditional excavation methods may not be practical. Hydrovac excavators are commonly used in a variety of applications, including underground utility locating, drain cleaning, and general excavation work. Overall, hydrovac excavators are a versatile and reliable solution for any excavation needs, providing a safe and efficient approach to excavation work.

Hydro Vacuum Excavation is a non-destructive digging (NDD) technique that offers a safe, accurate and cost-effective way to excavate. This process is non-evasive, meaning it doesn’t cause any damage to the surrounding area. With the use of vacuum hydro excavators, it has become a more affordable and efficient method for excavation projects. We provide a complete range of professional hydro excavation and Vac truck services across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, South East Queensland and beyond.

SEQ Vacuum Excavation is the leading provider of hydro vacuum excavating services. Using vac trucks as opposed to conventional excavators/diggers ensures there is no unnecessary damage to underground utilities and services – this practice is also known as non-destructive digging (NDD).

There are multiple benefits to using vacuum excavation, including that it is a non-destructive, non-evasive, cost-effective, and accurate form of digging. This excavation method implements technology that is far more advanced than traditional excavatorsWe do safe, non-destructive hydro excavation for civil, industrial, commercial, and residential projects at SEQ Vacuum Excavation Brisbane (SEQ VAC). From North Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast, including Caboolture and Moreton Bay, our services are available.

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.

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.

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!
