Covering gunnedah, the north west slopes & upper hunter
At Mick’s Excavations, we combine advanced vacuum excavation technology with local knowledge to support underground service detection and safe soil removal in Gunnedah. Our focus is on delivering accurate, low-risk excavation work that’s on time and within budget. With one of the few vac units available in this part of NSW, we’re equipped for projects across a wide range of industries and conditions.
Reducing Risk with Smart Digging Solutions
Vacuum excavation is a preferred method when working in areas with buried utilities or where mechanical digging may cause harm. Using high-pressure water and vacuum suction, we can expose underground infrastructure without damaging it. Gunnedah’s growing infrastructure demands safe, modern approaches—this service is ideal for both urban and rural worksites.
Vacuum Systems Built for Precision
Our equipment allows us to expose underground assets accurately without disturbing surrounding ground conditions. This results in cleaner, faster outcomes, with less labour required and reduced restoration time. Whether you’re working on infrastructure upgrades or civil works in Gunnedah, we’ve got the equipment to get it done right.
