Potholing Excavation Service
Gold Coast Vac Trucks
are experts in
potholing excavation,
a form of
non-destructive digging used to locate underground services. We use our state of the art
vacuum truck
to apply high-pressure water to break up soil around underground services that need to be precisely located. We then use a high-flow vacuum system to remove the broken up earth and expose underground infrastructure. This process is a variation on general hydro excavation, and is much quicker, safer and more accurate than other forms of digging.

What is Potholing?
Potholing is a variation of hydro excavation that is used to locate underground services. It is used to confirm the location of underground services at regular distances along the long underground services such as water, gas, communication and electrical lines.
Before commencing any work that may disturb underground assets, it is essential to accurately pinpoint the location of underground utilities. This is where potholing is commonly used.
Potholing is used to avoid underground service damage, disruptions, accidents, injuries or worse.
When to use Potholing for Underground Service Location?
No matter the nature of your project, potholing ensures your construction or maintenance project succeeds without nasty delays or surprises.
Potholing is commonly used on construction sites before excavation or building takes place. Non-destructive potholing is also commonly used on public spaces where underground infrastructure aggregates under footpaths, parks and the like.
Potholing is very useful anywhere "Before You Dig Australia" plans indicate the presence of underground services. That's because it takes the doubt out "Before You Dig Australia" plans which are known to be incomplete and inaccurate.
Obstructions like rocks, debris and abandoned pipelines are also found when potholing.
