Need Vacuum Excavation Gold Coast
Vacuum Excavation Gold Coast – Safe & Efficient Vac Truck Hire
Vacuum excavation, also called non-destructive digging (NDD) or “soft dig,” is the modern solution for safe excavation. Using high-pressure water or air combined with a powerful vacuum system, vac trucks can efficiently uncover underground utilities, remove debris, and prepare sites without the risks of traditional digging.
At Get Directed / Get Vacced, we provide vac truck hire Gold Coast and Brisbane for projects of all sizes — from plumbing and sewer repairs to large-scale civil infrastructure works.
Why Choose Vacuum Excavation?
Vacuum excavation offers a range of benefits over manual or mechanical digging:
Minimises damage – Safely exposes underground pipes, cables, and utilities.
Safe worksites – Reduces risk of trench cave-ins and keeps workers above ground.
Cost-effective – Faster and more efficient with reduced labour hire needs.
Cleaner process – Excavated material is stored in debris tanks, avoiding site mess.
Versatile – Works in congested areas, hard ground, and even frozen soil (with hot water hydro excavation).
Hydro Vacuum Excavation
Hydro excavation uses high-pressure water and industrial vacuum suction to dig quickly and precisely. The water breaks apart soil, creating a slurry that is removed and stored in the truck’s debris tank.
Applications include:
Pipe and sewer replacement
Exploratory excavations
Potholing & service locating
Trenching and pole setting
Drain cleaning & maintenance
Advantages of Hydro Excavation:
High precision with minimal waste
Less invasive than traditional methods
Ideal for plumbing, sewer, and utility works
Faster and more efficient than air excavation
Air Vacuum Excavation
Air vacuum excavation uses compressed air to loosen soil before vacuuming it into the debris tank. Unlike hydro excavation, the dry material can be reused for backfilling.
Benefits of Air Vacuum:
Dry soil can be refilled after work
No water required, eco-friendly in some applications
Best for sensitive underground assets
Lower operating pressure for delicate installations
