Fully certified in the fields of Quality, Safety and Environment
Utility Location Services are proud to own a fleet of late model vac trucks in South East QLD. We have vacuum trucks ranging from 3000 litre to 8000 litre capacity allowing for any size non-destructive hydro excavation job. We hire short term or long term and our sucker trucks are available to hire 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ensuring your project is completed on time.
Pot holing using NDD to expose underground utilities like electrical, telecom data, water and gas is recommended by utility asset owners, and, in many cases, is mandatory prior to any works being carried out, close to, or inside asset exclusion zones.
Further to this, many underground asset owners are now recommending that vacuum excavation is used to replace mechanical digging in virtually all circumstances where there is any risk of damage to their cable, pipes, wires etc.
Our highly trained team of hydro vac truck operators have many years experience in vacuum excavation techniques with a wide variety of projects completed around the Gold Coast & Brisbane for clients such as Thiess Services, John Holland, Utilities Silcar, Downer, Brisbane City Council, McConnell Dowell, Lendlease, Energex, Stowe Australia, Pensar, BMD Construction, CV Energy, Hutchison Builders, Mcillwain Civil, ADB Safegate, Queensland Urban, Fulton Hogan, Adco Construction, Gold Coast City Council, Utilita, Moody Civil and Pipe and MTC Gas. With a trusted record like ours, we assure you will get the best possible service in a timely manner.

Vacuum Excavation also known as Non-Destructive Digging (NDD), significantly reduces the risk of asset damage which is of particular importance when in the vicinity of high risk assets such as Optic Fibre and High-Pressure Gas. Vacuum excavation is the safe and environmental alternative for excavating and determining existing utilities location and depths prior to project commencement.
HOW IT WORKS
This method uses a high-pressure water jet to break up the soil and a powerful vacuum to remove the soil. The specifically designed wand can dig in any soil condition with minimal operator effort, whilst providing no threat to the existing underground services.
COMPLETE SERVICE
All operators are fully trained in the operation and use of the equipment. They adhere to strict guidelines ensuring safety and all regulations are followed.
EXAMPLE USES
Some Vacuum Excavation Applications include: Exposing Utilities, Cleaning Drains, Clear blocked pipes, Slot trenching, Pot-Holing, Drilling mud removal, Wet / Dry Vac, Site Clean ups, Post holes, Catchment cleaning, Manhole clean outs, Hydrant clean outs, Pit removal, Pit Re-alignment, Culvert Cleaning, Setting Posts and signs and many more.
Ensure you have considered all underground utilities.
Collate all utility plans and conduct site investigation using a ULS DBYD Certified Locator.
Positively Identify underground utilities by potholing the area using Vacuum Excavation.
Safety on site is a must for all civil works. Information provided by Electronic Locations & Potholing is an essential contribution to safe digging. Protect the infrastructure, Protect the onsite workers.
Proceed with construction after you have established the position of all underground utilities.
