Custom Hydro Excavation with the Latest Equipment that Keeps Your Buried Utilities Functional and Reduces Insurance Liability Costs

 Digging by hand takes time, and mechanical excavation is inherently dangerous. Utility damage from strikes and hits occurs at the worst possible time with traditional mechanical digging methods, costing you more money and opportunities in the long run. In Australia, mechanical digging is prohibited in close proximity to buried utilities.

Hydro excavation is a new and advanced non-destructive excavation technology used by businesses in Australia. It combines a high-pressure water jet system that cuts through and breaks up the sod and soil on the job site with a high-flow vacuum that lifts soil, debris, slurry, and small rocks out of the excavation area. It enables operators to discover buried natural gas pipelines without risk of puncture. Water mains, fiber optic cables, water lines, petroleum lines, and other buried utilities can be located safely and efficiently. This also results in less traffic disruption, less surface damage, and other traditional digging drawbacks.

Removing stubborn soil

When it comes to excavating in cold weather with permafrost on the soil, hydro excavation is the only viable option. A hydro excavation service's onboard boiler sufficiently heats the water to break up frozen ground and materials, allowing hydro excavation in cold and harsh environments. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services, Australia's trusted non-digging excavation services provider, uses a positive displacement method for hydro excavation that provides high airflow that removes even the most stubborn material and debris. Utility contractors in Gold Coast frequently use hydro excavation for locating and non-destructive digging.

Preferred method of industrial and commercial non-destructive digging

Hydro excavation is the most preferred method for industrial and commercial excavation because it is not only accurate and fast, but it also protects underground utilities and crews. Because underground utilities such as pipelines and cables are unlikely to be damaged, there will be little or no cost to repair them. Utility outages cause inconvenience and high costs for thousands of people. A single incident can result in personal injury or death, as well as community disruption, property damage, and insurance liabilities.

Natural gas line strikes are particularly dangerous and occur far too frequently, resulting in property damage, crew injuries, and even death. While a telecommunications network disruption is not inherently catastrophic, it can be costly and inconvenient, affecting traffic control systems and emergency response activities.

Hydro excavation has high potential and is preferred for a variety of applications including:

•          Directional digging
•          Line location, installation and repair for utilities
•          Slot trenching
•          Excavating or repairing in confined spaces and congested area
•         Non-destructive excavation
•          Potholing
•          Telecommunications maintenance and repair
•          Waterline and gas line repair and maintenance
•          Sewer and pipe rehabilitation
•          Sign and pole installation
•          Landscaping (digging holes or new trees)

Your facilities will remain operational during the excavation process because the utilities will remain operational. Hydro excavation in Gold Coast reduces insurance and liability costs by lowering the risk of safety and repairs. Because hydro excavation produces better results more quickly, the company's reputation and profitability are preserved.
