Hydro Excavation – Non Destructive Digging
At Rootcontrollers & Hydrox Australia, we are proud to lead the way in cutting-edge excavation technology. Hydro excavation is a state-of-the-art, high-pressure water system that sets the benchmark for non-destructive digging (NDD) in Australia. This advanced technique offers a safer, more precise alternative to traditional digging methods, minimising damage to underground utilities and preserving the integrity of surrounding environments.
Our hydro excavation services include:
- Tree Root Investigation – Identifying and assessing tree root growth to determine any damage caused to surrounding infrastructure such as roads, pavements, and underground utilities. If necessary, we can recommend a tree root removal service.
- Tree Root Pruning (including selective pruning) – Carefully trimming tree roots to prevent damage to underground services while maintaining the structural root zone. Root pruning can also remove dead or diseased roots that may impact tree health.
- Tree Root Barriers – Installing HDPE Tree Root Barriers to prevent root intrusion into building foundations, roads, footpaths, and underground services. These barriers can also help create designated tree protection zones.
- Underground Service Location – Accurately locating underground utilities such as gas pipelines, telecommunications cables, and drainage systems, reducing the risk of accidental damage. Hydro excavation can also be used for drain cleaning in Melbourne.
- Hydro-Amelioration (Soil Decompaction) – Using hydro excavation to break up compacted soil, allowing tree roots to absorb more water and nutrients for improved health and growth.
- Structural Footings & Cable / Pipe trenching – Using hydro excavation allows to excavate footings and trenches in un-accessible or high-risk service areas where traditional mechanical digging can not occur.
The Benefits of NDD
- Enhanced Safety – Reduces the risk of damaging underground utilities such as gas, water, and communication lines.
- Minimal Environmental Impact – Preserves tree roots and prevents unnecessary surface disruptions.
- Precise Excavation – Allows for controlled digging around critical areas with minimal ground disturbance.
- Versatile Applications – Can be used in tight access spaces and close to existing structures.
As a far superior alternative to traditional excavation, hydro excavation in Melbourne utilises high-pressure water and vacuum extraction to safely remove soil without harming underground services. Our vac truck hydro excavation method ensures minimal disruption and maximum precision, making it the preferred choice for projects requiring careful excavation and tree preservation.
