The premier non-destructive digging solution

As specialists in dry vacuum excavation, we can safely expose underground services without the use of water, unlike hydro excavation. This precise excavation process minimises risk, preventing costly damage to underground pipes and other underground utilities.


It's ideal for sensitive environments where protecting existing buried services is paramount. By avoiding mechanical digging methods, we ensure the integrity of your site while providing a clean and efficient solution, making it the preferred choice for protecting critical infrastructure from damaging underground services.

We can complete the following applications include:

  • Exposing underground utilities for repairs or upgrades
  • Potholing to verify the exact location of underground assets
  • Trenching for new underground pipes or cables in confined spaces
  • Safe daylighting of underground services prior to digging
  • Cleaning out pits, sumps and post holes without manual entry
  • Removing debris and material from sensitive areas
