NON-DESTRUCTIVE DIGGING

Non-Destructive Digging is also known as vacuum excavation, potholing, hydro-excavation, hydro trenching and non-evasive digging.

 

Such digging techniques provide a safe, clean way to expose the underground infrastructure, allowing for a faster, more environmentally friendly method of excavation.

Non-Destructive Digging is fast becoming accepted as best practice in the field of site investigation, general construction and remediation work. It can provide a more cost-effective and safer method of excavation for your next project.

 
 
 

The main advantages of Non-Destructive Digging are as follows:

  • It allows positive visual identification of services without making physical contact, avoiding service strikes while vastly improving safety.

  • Minimal surface disruption is obtained at the point of excavation. This can reduce costly reinstatement charges and eliminates environmental impacts while working in sensitive and protected areas.

  • Excavation spoil is removed from the area, leaving surrounding roads/footpaths clear of debris.

  • There is a reduction in disruption to other site traffic, personnel, and surface activities.
