At McGrath Contracts, we specialise in dry vacuum excavation using cutting-edge equipment to uncover underground utilities without damaging vital infrastructure. Serving Sydney and regional New South Wales, our expert team also offers hydro excavation, utility locating, and civil support services — keeping your site safe, compliant, and on schedule.
A leading provider of versatile vacuum excavation services and trucks for every site requirement
Our commitment to project safety is supported by a diverse fleet designed to handle various ground conditions and site constraints. We operate high-capacity wet units, which are essential for traditional hydro excavation and the removal of liquid waste. These heavy-duty vehicles provide the suction power needed for large-scale utility clearance and site maintenance.
We also deploy dry vacuum excavation trucks. These units are environmentally friendly alternatives that can eliminate water waste and allow for the sustainable reuse of excavated materials.
By maintaining both high-volume liquid capacity and advanced air-based systems, we ensure all vacuum excavation services are performed using the most efficient unit and methodology for the specific task. This versatility enables us to support a wide range of projects, from simple potholing to complex civil infrastructure projects.
