Services
Hydro Vacuum Excavation
Our hydro vacuum excavation service safely exposes underground utilities using high-pressure water and industrial vacuum systems. This method prevents damage to critical infrastructure while achieving excavation speeds twice as fast as traditional methods. Our Australian-designed trucks operate at 2,000psi safe working pressure, making them ideal for sensitive environments around power, gas, and telecommunications lines.
Underground Service Location
We specialize in locating buried infrastructure using electronic detection and ground-penetrating radar. Our Telstra-accredited team identifies water mains, fibre optic cables, and gas lines with precision. This service helps prevent accidental damage during construction projects and supports preventative maintenance programs for utility providers across Central Queensland.
Wet & Dry Waste Removal
Our EPA-licensed vacuum systems remove hazardous and non-hazardous waste from industrial sites. We handle liquid spills, concrete slurry, and solid debris from factories, mines, and water treatment plants. With 24/7 emergency response capability, we provide rapid cleanup services for pipeline spills and stormwater system maintenance across regional Queensland.
Ground Penetrating Radar
Our GPR technology creates detailed subsurface maps using electromagnetic waves. This non-invasive method detects non-conductive utilities and structural voids that traditional electronic locating cannot identify. We use multiple antenna frequencies to achieve optimal resolution for different soil types and project requirements across mining and construction sites.
Horizontal Directional Drilling
We install underground conduits with minimal surface disruption using directional drilling technology. This method preserves existing infrastructure while enabling installation of utility lines beneath roads, buildings, and environmentally sensitive areas. Our operators combine precision drilling with vacuum excavation for accurate entry and exit point preparation.
Questions
What is non-destructive vacuum digging?
Non-destructive vacuum digging uses high-pressure water and industrial vacuum systems to safely excavate soil without damaging underground utilities. This method is faster and safer than traditional digging techniques.
How many vacuum trucks do you operate?
We maintain a fleet of 14 vacuum excavator trucks, including compact 2WD models for urban areas and high-clearance 4WD trucks for remote mine sites.
Do you service remote mining locations?
Yes, we service major mining regions including Bowen Basin, Moranbah, and Central QLD Mines with BMA and Anglo American Mine-compliant equipment and personnel.
Can you handle emergency spill cleanups?
Our 24/7 emergency response team handles industrial spills and waste removal across Central Queensland using EPA-licensed vacuum loading systems.
What safety accreditations do you hold?
Our team maintains Telstra Fibre/Copper Locating accreditations, Mining Standard 11 Inductions, Confined Space Certifications, and compliance with major mining companies' safety protocols.
Do you offer GPR mapping services?
Yes, we provide Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) services to map underground infrastructure before excavation projects, ensuring safe and accurate utility location.
