Get Benefited From an Interdisciplinary Approach to Non-Destructive Digging and Waste Removal

Building engineers use non-destructive digging (NDD) to minimise the damage and potential impact of construction and digging (C&D) projects on the environment and community. NDD is a much safer, faster, and effective alternative to traditional methods that require the use of jackhammers, drills, and shovels. Non-destructive digging, also known as hydrovac excavation, involves blasting soil or other surfaces with a high-pressured water jet. Because the jet of water or air used in non-destructive digging is focused on a specific target area, the surrounding utilities and other objects in the area, including underground assets and tree roots, are not disturbed.

Hydrovac excavation is particularly useful for non-destructive digging in frozen areas where air-only digging is not possible. A hot jet of highly pressurised water is directed at the area, melting the ice while also loosening the soil beneath. The crew directs the jet to the excavation site using cutting-edge technology such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) to ensure that underground utilities are detected and not damaged during the excavation process. The process is carried out by highly trained personnel who use the appropriate tools and equipment.

Quieter and safer digging process

Aside from being time-consuming and labour-intensive, the traditional digging method is unsafe for doing excavation work near utilities, which can be easily damaged because the crew does not know the exact location of these utilities. Non-destructive digging, on the other hand, is not only safer and more efficient, but it is also useful for potholing and excavation in areas with valuable underground assets, obtaining soil samples with coring, and straightening power poles. The entire process of hydrovac excavation is also significantly quieter, making it the preferred choice for non-destructive digging in cities and suburban areas with a high population and foot traffic.

Fewer requirements for detours and road closures

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services is Australia's leading provider of non-destructive excavation and waste removal services. The use of advanced non-destructive tools by the company's waste removal services not only reduces cleanup time at your site, but also ensures that your facilities are returned to you as soon as possible for business continuity. You also save money throughout the project. Furthermore, there will be fewer detours and road closures because the company's waste removal service uses trucks that collect the slurry obtained from the hydrovac excavation and transport it quickly to a safe location. The waste removal truck used by the company can be stationed away from the excavation site. This makes hydrovac excavation in congested areas especially convenient. After the hydrovac excavation is finished, the soil can be returned to the dug hole, reducing waste.

Recycling the maximum amount of construction waste

To ensure that the maximum amount of waste is recycled, the company uses advanced waste recycling technologies in its waste removal services. Better-quality material collected from hydrovac excavation can be recycled as aggregate and used as a substitute for conventional mineral aggregate. The rock excavated during continuous tunneling can be used to make high-quality concrete products like structural concrete or lining.

Using advanced equipment and vehicles for non-destructive digging

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services provides industries with hydrovac excavation, non-destructive digging, and waste removal services such as drain cleaning and culvert cleaning, vacuum loading and vacuum excavation, liquid and solid waste disposal, industrial cleaning and shutdown, and more. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services' technical services include cable and pipe location, geotech and pavement investigation, engineering capabilities, subsurface engineering and maintenance, drone photography services, and more. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services uses a variety of plants and vehicles for hydrovac excavation, non-destructive digging, and waste removal services, including an all-terrain medium vacuum excavation unit, a trailer vacuum excavation unit, a tight excavation vacuum excavation unit, a semi-vacuum tanker, and others.

The excavated spoil from utility trench reinstatements and construction site excavations would have been sent to a landfill under traditional excavation methods. However, in today's environmentally conscious and cost-conscious excavation processes, where recycling and sustainability are top priorities for contractors and authorities, project managers are constantly looking for ways to reduce escalating operational and landfill costs.

Cost savings in materials procurement, storage and transportation

The unique approach of Aussie Hydyro-Vac Services to hydrovac excavation, non-destructive digging, and waste removal services provides numerous benefits to industries, businesses, and residents in terms of the costs of material procurement, storage, and transportation required in hydrovac excavation services.

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services provides hydrovac excavation, non-destructive digging, and waste removal services in Queensland and New South Wales. Please contact Aussie Hydro-Vac Services' customer service if you require services outside of these areas. The company's waste management services are interdisciplinary, encompassing geological, technical, and legal aspects. It aims to achieve the highest level of recycling by optimising its waste removal service processes and material management concept.
