Hydro Vacuum Excavation Services

Our hydro vacuum excavation technology offers significant advantages over traditional excavation methods:

  • Safe excavation - Hydro vacuum excavation services protect underground services, utilities and infrastructure
  • Precision control - Exact excavation depth and area with minimal surface disruption
  • Clean operation - Simultaneous excavation and debris removal for tidy worksites
  • Versatile application - Suitable for utility location, potholing, and sensitive excavation work

Hydrodemolition and Robotic Hydrodemolition Specialists

We specialise in manual and robotic hydrodemolition for large commercial and infrastructure projects. Our precision concrete cutting services ensure:

  • Steel preservation - Excavates concrete around rebar without damaging embedded steel
  • Automated precision - Robotic hydrodemolition provides high-speed, consistent, controlled removal
  • Structural integrity - Engineers can be confident that the structure and steel work remain undamaged
  • Controlled process – work proceeds in a safe and controlled manner to avoid the unexpected

Residential and Commercial Applications

Our construction services extend across both sectors:

Commercial & Infrastructure:

  • Hydrodemolition and robotic hydrodemolition for major construction projects
  • Concrete cutting for precision demolition and structural modification
  • Hydro cutting concrete for controlled removal applications
  • Hydro excavation for safe utility work and potholing

Residential Projects:

  • Low-pressure water blasting for general cleaning
  • Aggregate exposure using ultra-high-pressure equipment
  • Concrete stencilling and etching for decorative finishes
  • Concrete stripping/cleaning for surface restoration

Specialised Equipment for Every Project

For projects where runoff and noise concerns exist, we supply unique low flow rate equipment in electric or diesel configuration. Our robotic hydrodemolition systems provide automated precision for large-scale concrete removal. For heavier construction work, we utilise our high flow rate gear to deliver optimal results.

Hydroexcavation img

Hydro Excavation

The low-risk way to dig, we are pleased to introduce our new state-of-the-art hydro excavator.

Paint and Corrosion img

Paint and Corrosion Stripping

Ultra-high pressure water jetting is a superb tool for stripping paint and corrosion from a range of substrates such as steel, aluminium and concrete.

Hydrodemolition img

Hydrodemolition

Hydrodemolition is the process of removing hardened concrete, using ultra-high-pressure water jetting which water does not damage the surrounding concrete or steel.
