Before any digging starts on a civil or construction site in Queensland, underground services need to be safely located and exposed. That means a vac truck on site, and finding one that is available, properly equipped, and run by operators who know civil work is harder than it should be across SEQ.
Get Vacced is the vacuum excavation division of Get Group Australia, a Gold Coast-based civil services company that has been working alongside contractors across South East Queensland for years. Project managers and site supervisors who have worked with Get Vacced keep coming back. The operators are experienced, adaptable when project scope shifts mid-job, and the trucks are modern, well-maintained, and ready to work.
TLDR
SEQ contractors book Get Vacced back because availability across the region is genuine, operators are experienced on civil sites without needing direction, and the full job including spoil and waste management is handled end to end. Coverage runs from the Gold Coast to Northern NSW, with Get Directed available through the same business when traffic management is needed on site.
What Vacuum Excavation Is Used For on SEQ Worksites
On civil and construction sites across SEQ, vacuum excavation is the standard method for exposing underground services before mechanical digging begins. Water mains, gas lines, electrical cables, and telecommunications infrastructure all run beneath Queensland worksites and striking one mid-project means delays, safety incidents, and costs that dwarf the price of getting it right the first time.
Non-destructive digging is required on most civil, council, and utility projects before any excavation proceeds. Contractors use vacuum excavation for potholing and service locating, civil trenching, exposing utilities ahead of mechanical plant, and stormwater and sewer line maintenance. It is also the preferred method for working in areas where Dial Before You Dig plans indicate high-density underground infrastructure.
Vacuum Excavation Services Get Vacced Provides
Get Vacced handles the full scope of vacuum excavation work across civil, commercial, council, and residential projects throughout SEQ. Rather than coordinating multiple contractors for different parts of the job, site supervisors work with a single team from start to finish.
Services include:
- Vacuum excavation and potholing
- Exposing underground utilities
- Trenching
- High-pressure stormwater cleaning
- High-pressure sewer line cleaning
- Mud and drill spoil recovery
- Total waste management
Waste handling is included as part of the service, managed in line with Queensland regulations so there are no separate arrangements needed once the truck leaves site.
Vac Trucks Built for SEQ Civil Projects
The quality of the truck matters more than most project managers realise until something goes wrong mid-job. A breakdown on site, a tank that needs off-loading every hour, or a truck that cannot access a tight commercial worksite all add up to delays that push your schedule back.
Get Vacced runs custom-built VTI trucks, designed and serviced locally on the Gold Coast. Local servicing means maintenance is handled by the same team that built the trucks, reducing breakdown risk on site. Each unit carries a 7,000-litre spoil tank certified to AS1210 Class C, which means fewer off-loads on extended civil runs and less downtime while the truck is away from site.
The Jurop PVT 400 blower runs at 1,500 CFM and the Comet TW8036 water pump delivers 3,600 PSI, giving the truck enough pressure and suction to handle everything from soft soil potholing to hard-packed civil excavation. The compact build also improves access on sites where a standard truck cannot get in, whether that is a tight residential lot or a congested commercial worksite.
Operators Who Know Civil Sites
Get Vacced’s wet hire model means the truck comes with an experienced operator as standard, covering civil, commercial, council, and residential projects throughout SEQ. For project managers who have dealt with vac truck operators that need constant direction on site, the difference is noticeable from the first job.
Operators understand what working safely near live underground services requires in practice. When project scope shifts mid-job, they adapt without it becoming a problem that lands back on the project manager.
Contractors who have worked with Get Vacced on both traffic control and vacuum excavation works have noted the team’s proactive approach to safety and compliance throughout, from the initial planning stage through to handover.
SEQ Coverage That Matches Where You Work
Get Vacced services contractors across South East Queensland, with core coverage spanning the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Toowoomba, Southern Downs, and into Northern NSW. For projects in regional areas beyond core SEQ, Get Vacced works on LAHA allowances with rates quoted upfront.
For civil and utility contractors running projects across multiple regions, working with a single vacuum excavation provider that covers the full area removes the need to source different companies depending on where the job is.
Traffic Control and Vacuum Excavation Through One Company
Most civil and council excavation projects require traffic management alongside vacuum excavation work. Coordinating two separate companies to align schedules, manage site access, and communicate across trades adds time and risk to a project that is already under schedule pressure.
Get Group Australia operates both Get Vacced and Traffic Control Management, meaning both services can be booked and coordinated through a single point of contact. Contractors who have used Get Group for combined traffic control and vacuum excavation works have noted the team’s ability to keep projects on schedule while managing safety and compliance across both services proactively.
For project managers running civil jobs that need both, it removes a layer of coordination that typically falls on the site supervisor to manage.
Work With a Vac Truck Company That Knows SEQ Civil Projects
Get Vacced has been working alongside civil contractors, project managers, and site supervisors across SEQ long enough to understand what actually matters on a job. Availability, operator quality, and equipment that performs without issue are the baseline. The team manages the work without needing to be managed.
For contractors looking for vacuum excavation services across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and greater SEQ, Get Vacced is available for civil, commercial, council, and residential projects of all scales.
