Advanced Vac Excavation support for Armidale and surrounds
Serving the Northern Tablelands & Broader New England Area
Our vacuum excavation services in Armidale are designed for jobs that require accuracy and care—especially when working around water mains, gas lines, or electrical cables. With one of the few vac units operating in the Northern Tablelands, we help local contractors, councils and property developers get the job done safely and efficiently.
Non-Destructive Method for Locating Underground Assets
In many Armidale projects, traditional digging risks damaging services or causing costly delays. Vacuum excavation uses pressurised water to loosen soil, followed by suction removal via our vac truck. It’s the preferred approach in environments with congested or unmarked underground infrastructure.
Efficient Technology. Cleaner Results.
Our equipment is designed for high performance on a wide range of sites in Armidale. From urban developments to rural infrastructure, vacuum excavation means less manual digging, fewer disruptions, and faster clean-up. It’s an efficient way to dig smarter—not harder.
