 What Is Vacuum Excavation?

Vacuum excavation, also known as hydro excavation or non-destructive digging (NDD), is a non-invasive and precise excavation method used to safely expose underground utilities, pipelines, and other subsurface structures. It involves the use of a vacuum truck equipped with high-pressure water jets and a powerful vacuum system.

How Vacuum Excavation Services Work:

  • High-Pressure Water Jetting: A high-pressure water jet is directed at the area to be excavated. This pressurised water stream breaks up the soil and debris, turning it into a slurry.
  • Vacuum System: A powerful vacuum on the excavation truck simultaneously extracts the slurry (a mixture of water, soil, and debris) from the target area. This system can create a vacuum strong enough to lift soil and debris from considerable depths.
  • Debris Storage: The extracted slurry is safely stored in a debris tank on the vacuum truck for later disposal.

How Vacuum Excavation Can Benefit Your Project

Hydro excavation is an effective alternative to traditional digging methods. Some of its benefits include:


  • Precision: As this method sucks away dirt, debris, and water, operators are able to perform more precise digs, protecting underground utilities and surrounding environments in the process.
  • Safety: Hydro excavation significantly improves safety onsite, reducing the need for heavy machinery and manual labour. And because we use water and suction to perform the excavation, workers can avoid potentially hazardous areas, keeping them safe on the job site.
  • Eco-friendly: As vacuum excavation relies on water rather than heavy machinery, it significantly reduces environmental disruptions, preserving natural habitats and reducing carbon footprints.
  • Efficiency: This technique is incredibly quicker than manual methods, helping streamline projects and reduce their timeframes. That means more money in your pocket.
  • Versatility: Whether dealing with clay, sand, gravel, or stubborn dirt, this method can adapt effectively without compromising performance. Hydro vacuuming’s adaptability means it’s suitable in diverse settings, from urban environments to challenging terrains.
  • Reduced Cost: As hydro excavation causes minimal disturbance to the surrounding areas, restoration costs are greatly reduced, allowing you to pivot funds to more critical aspects of your project.


Overall, vacuum excavation is a safer, more precise, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional excavation methods, making it a valuable tool for various industries. At TDK, we provide hydro vac truck services for a wide range of Sydney and ACT projects. Contact us to discuss yours.
