Councils and Utilities
Safe excavation around water, sewer and power assets for local government and utility providers — non-destructive digging where a strike is not an option.
Councils and Utilities support
Councils and utilities manage dense networks of buried infrastructure — water mains, sewer lines, power cables and telecommunications — often in older areas where records are incomplete. Vacuum excavation lets these asset owners expose and maintain infrastructure with minimal risk to the live network.
Whether it's a maintenance pit clean-out, a service exposure before an upgrade, or a capital works program, we provide the equipment and operator to do the work safely and to schedule.
Typical applications
- Exposing live water and sewer assets for repair
- Service proving before utility upgrades
- Stormwater pit and culvert cleaning
- Daylighting power and telecommunications cables
- Maintenance excavation in built-up areas
- Vacuum loading of wet waste from pits
Planning considerations
- Coordinate with asset owners for current service plans
- Plan work around live network operations
- Confirm traffic management requirements for road reserves
- Manage wet waste and disposal appropriately
