The old fashioned dig, blast or auger drilling can’t be used. A far more contemporary solution exists in the form of hydro excavation in Newcastle. It is non-destructive in its digging approach. The process involves the introduction of highly pressurised water, section by section. A vacuum system is then used to remove the hydrous soil, thereby excavating the trench or subterranean cavity, etc.

Hydro excavation is quicker than a delicate manual labour approach which means fewer delays to your project. It allows for the required design to go ahead without significant piping rerouting needing to take place which can add months to a project. Here are a few benefits:

● Workers are not required to be in dangerous underpinned trenches or cavity whilst destabilising via excavation. 

● In winter, hydro excavation reduces the number of workers needed to be exposed to the elements and certainly eliminates their use for days on end for a manual excavation in freezing weather.

● There is less vibration than traditional machinery; therefore, less vibration damage to existing structures and facilities.

● There is less disturbance of areas that surrounded the excavation area, greatly reducing cave-in risks.

● It is a simple process involving water and area with no toxic chemicals or complicated setups of vast amounts of machinery.

● It works well in built-up areas as the hydro evacuation equipment can be set up far from the site; therefore not blocking roads or other work areas nor require massive access points.

Hydro evacuation can be used for narrow trenching very successfully as traditional methods create huge oversized trenches unless down painfully slowly with manual labour.

It is effective in the application of cleaning areas without damaging existing infrastructure and for removing debris after severe flooding. It is also useful in the clearing of drain networks.

Whether it is a backyard, a servitude between two buildings, or a tight underground space hydro evacuation is the fastest, least destructive, and most effective solution.

Another very efficient solution is provided for a pole setting. The access hole can be narrower than traditional methods, and it is much faster.
