Non-destructive Digging and Waste Removal Services

by Jayden Holden Service Provider

Building contractors employ non-destructive digging to excavate a location without destroying subterranean utilities. To cut and break the dirt, a high-pressure water jet is used. Sludge is moved from the non-destructive digging operations to the debris truck for collection using a vacuum and suction system. The debris is subsequently removed from the construction site. As a result, the site is kept clean, and the subterranean utilities are not harmed. Because the utilities are not damaged during the excavation, non-destructive digging maintains your facilities operational.

The technology employs imaging equipment, such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), which provides information about the location of subterranean utilities such as water mains, cables, and gas pipes. Some equipment also offers information regarding the utility's substance, such as concrete, metal, plastic, and so on. This information allows the operators to undertake non-destructive digging without damaging the subsurface utilities.

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services is the leading provider of non-destructive digging to businesses, industries, and households in Australia. The company has the vehicles, equipment, and tools to provide the most accurate and cost-effective solutions for non-destructive digging of any scale.

Non-destructive digging services by Aussie Hydro-Vac Services are used for a variety of applications, such as:

Daylighting

The practice is used to expose and locate underground utilities. Water, and vacuum are used in combination to expose the buried utilities without damaging them. Daylighting method is often used by contractors to determine the horizontal and vertical location of underground utilities.

Soil trenching

This process of non-destructive digging creates narrow trenches to install pipelines, cables, and in-ground utilities. The method is effective for digging in frozen surfaces where it is difficult to use backhoe or trencher.

Piling hole excavation

This method is used by the building contractors to dig holes of various diameters and depths to lay pilings of various types.

Debris removal

Non-destructive digging can be used for debris removal, cleaning out structures, and waste removal service without affecting the surrounding structures of the jobsite. The boom component of the hydro excavation truck provides the operator with manoeuvrability to place the boom at the exact location. It allows the waste removal service to remove debris and waste in liquid and solid forms. 

Coring for soil samples

Non-destructive digging minimises the risk of cross-contamination of the soil samples, which is essential for geotechnical and soil analysis prior to a construction project, and also for post-works site remediation.

Potholing

A small hole is vacuum excavated at the point where the repair or relining of an existing line is required. This method of non-destructive digging prevents large trenches, saving time and money for the contractors.

Straightening power poles

Non-destructive digging excavates only one portion of the soil surrounding a power pole that allows it to be straightened. The foundation can be reinforced without removing it completely.

Tree plantation and remediation

The method provides a cost-effective solution to investigate the extent of root invasion without damaging the underground utility lines.

Focus on recycling of waste

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services’ waste removal service focuses on recycling and reusing the waste obtained from its non-destructive digging operations. Bricks are recycled by crushing and using them as filling materials, or sometimes blended with materials like concrete and timber.  Concrete from the construction debris is used as a replacement to natural aggregate in new concrete. Masonry waste can be recycled as masonry aggregate for use as thermal insulating concrete, and as an aggregate in the traditional clay bricks.

Timber from construction & demolition (C&D) activities can be used by the waste removal service for other construction projects after cleaning, de-nailing, and sizing. Similarly, glass, ferrous and non-ferrous metals can be recycled and reused in other items and projects. Recycling reduces the demand on new resources, lowers the carbon print, cuts down the costs on transport and production, and also reduces the amount of waste lost to the landfill sites.
