Learn about hydro excavation

We’re proud to have brought hydro-excavation technology to the Australian tree industry. We have developed this technology for use in the arboreal culture industry as an alternative to the traditionally used air spade. Hydro-excavation is a non-destructive method of digging as it doesn’t involve trenching, bucket diggers, air spades and other commonly used machinery and equipment. The technology is capable of detecting telecommunications cables, gas pipes and other essential services buried underground, thus enabling them to avoid any costly and unwanted damage – something that conventional digging techniques can’t always guarantee.
