Vacuum excavators are a unique type of earthmoving machinery focussing on safe, careful, and non-destructive digging. Traditional excavators can damage underground utilities, require labour-intensive backfilling and site cleans when finished, disrupt the landscape they tread on, and struggle to fit into tight spaces. Vacuum excavators avoid these issues by applying high-pressure water to the ground, breaking up and sucking up soil, and leaving everything else untouched. The high-pressure hose can be operated metres away from the actual machine where the truck may not fit, and allows machine operators to excavate only what they need to.
Central West Hydro Vac Services operates our hydrovac trucks to access small spaces in backyards or courtyards without destroying existing landscaping or underground infrastructure, and to excavate around water pipes, optic fibre, glass lines, and tree roots, safely and cleanly. The hydro excavation technique is a fantastic alternative to conventional digging, and we have spent years perfecting the craft to ensure no site damage.
