Hydro Vacuum Excavation Service
Gold Coast Vac Trucks
are experts in
hydro vacuum excavation and non-destructive digging. We use our state of the art
vacuum truck
to apply high-pressure water to break up soil around underground services that requires maintenance. We then use a high-flow vacuum system to remove the broken up earth and expose underground infrastructure. This process, also know as hydrovac excavation, is much quicker and safer than other forms of digging.
We can handle any hydro vacuum excavation job with our industrial grade vacuum truck - perfect for construction industry projects. Affectionately known as the "suck truck", she boasts large water and debris storage capacity, high pressure water jetting for loosing soil etc, and high suction vacuum for debris removal.
Our cost effective hydro excavation service is based on the Gold Coast and services the region spanning most of south-side Brisbane, Gold Coast and northern NSW. Call us anytime - 7 days a week - for free quotes and emergency call-outs.

Benefits Of Hydro Excavation

The benefits of Hydro Excavation compared to traditional excavation methods go far beyond avoiding damage to underground services.
Hydro Excavation is a very delicate process that uses water to remove dirt. This greatly aids in not damaging underground power lines and other expensive infrastructure, making Hydro Excavation a much safer process.
Hydro Excavation is time saving as it quickly and safely loosens soil, while at the same time removes soil via high flow vacuum excavation. No waiting for locating underground services, then waiting on another traditional digging service - Gold Coast Vac Trucks do it all in one visit.
And time saving also means cost savings, particularly if you are dealing with an expensive water leak - our clients love our more cost effective solution.
The lack of heavy machinery and the precision of hydro jets mean Hydro Excavation is a much tidier process. Our jet and vacuum hoses run 30 metres, meaning our vac truck often does not need to enter your property. No track marks, no wrecked lawns, and no unnecessary large holes - our Hydro Excavation service leaves minimal impact.
