Services
Vacuum Excavation
Our vacuum excavation service uses high-pressure water jets and suction to safely remove soil around underground utilities. This method prevents damage to cables and pipes while ensuring precise excavation for infrastructure projects. Ideal for railway maintenance, residential developments, and industrial sites across Queensland, our equipment handles sand, clay, and rocky terrain with equal efficiency.
Underground Service Locating
We provide accurate underground utility mapping using ground-penetrating radar and potholing techniques. Our Telstra-accredited team locates gas, water, electricity, and fibre optic lines to prevent excavation damage. This service ensures compliance with safety regulations for construction projects in urban and regional Queensland areas.
Equipment Hire
Our equipment hire service offers excavators, skid steers, water trucks, and lighting towers for short-term and long-term projects. All machinery undergoes daily maintenance checks and is operated by certified personnel. Available in Brisbane, Mackay, and Gladstone, our fleet supports civil construction, mining, and infrastructure maintenance operations.
CCTV and Drain Cleaning
We combine robotic cutting technology with high-pressure water jetting to clear blocked drains and inspect pipe integrity. Our mobile CCTV cameras identify cracks, rust, and structural issues without excavation. This service maintains drainage systems for commercial properties, residential developments, and railway corridors across Queensland.
Waste Services
Our waste management solutions include septic tank cleaning, grease trap pumping, and bulk sludge transportation. Using vacuum trucks with capacities up to 8,000L, we handle liquid and solid waste disposal for industrial sites, mining operations, and municipal projects. All waste is transported to approved facilities following environmental regulations.
