Excavate near live utilities.
Safe, precise, fast.

Carefully exposing buried cables, pipes and ducts to confirm exact position and depth before work begins. Soil is drawn away with nothing rigid touching the asset.

Narrow, clean-sided trenches for new cables, ducts or small-diameter pipe, with spoil lifted straight into the unit and less surface to reinstate.

Removing material right alongside energised or pressurised cables, gas and fibre. Nothing rigid contacts the asset, so the network stays live.

Rapidly clearing soil to reach a burst main, leaking gas line or damaged cable so the repair crew can start, without enlarging the damage.

Drawing sand, silt and standing water out of valve chambers, jointing bays and service pits so they can be inspected or worked in safely, all from above.

Stripping soil from around root systems to inspect, transplant or work near mature trees without cutting the roots. Supports root-protection compliance.

Lifting silt and sediment out of culverts, gullies and channels to restore flow, with long runs cleared from the roadside and no crew in the pipe.

Removing ballast and trackside material in the rail corridor within tight possession windows, working close to signalling cables without mechanical impact.

Extracting sludge, sediment and process residue from tanks, silos, hoppers and vessels, including from a safe distance through hose extensions. Material stays contained.

Vacuuming spilled product, dust, ash and gravel from plant floors, structures and roof voids, and recovering reusable material, from fine dust to coarse debris.

Reaching tight inner-city plots, basements and plant rooms a conventional excavator cannot enter, using long hoses from a unit parked further away.

Suction and cleaning in explosive-atmosphere and other regulated zones using rated, spark-controlled equipment, where ignition risk rules out standard plant.

Clean holes for poles, signs, foundations and shoring with controlled diameter and minimal over-dig, so there is less to backfill and reinstate.

Clearing mud, spill and displaced material after floods, slips and road incidents so sites can reopen, even where conditions block conventional plant.

Utilities

Exposing a live gas main

A new fibre route had to cross directly above a charged gas main under a congested junction. The soil was drawn away by suction with nothing rigid touching either service. The gas main was confirmed intact, the fibre was laid, and the junction stayed open.

Water

Reaching a burst water main

A pressurised main failed beneath a paved surface, flooding the area and threatening nearby cables. A suction unit cleared the saturated ground without enlarging the break, so the repair crew reached the failure point quickly and the excavation was small enough to reinstate the same shift.

Landscaping

Working around protected trees

A site layout required excavation close to the root zones of mature trees. Suction stripped the soil away cleanly, leaving the roots exposed and undamaged so the design could be adjusted around them. The trees were retained and root-protection requirements were met.

Drainage

Clearing a silted culvert

A roadside culvert had silted up and stopped draining. The sediment was lifted out from the verge with a long hose, so no one entered the pipe and the running lane stayed open. Flow was restored in a single visit.

Industrial

Emptying a process tank

A process tank in a regulated area needed accumulated sludge removed before inspection. Using rated equipment and hose extensions, the material was drawn out from a safe distance and contained in the unit, with no confined-space entry and no residue spread across the plant.

Rail

Cabling in a short possession

Spoil and ballast had to be cleared from a dense signalling-cable corridor inside a narrow possession window. A road-rail-capable unit cleared the material right up to the cables without mechanical impact, and handed them back undamaged inside the possession.
