Non-destructive digging

Protect utilities with precise underground excavation

our services

Powerful excavation that’s smarter and safer

Available in New South Wales. Coming soon to Queensland.

In 2024, H2flow Hire acquired Tasman Excavations and its established capability in vacuum excavation and associated services. Hydro vacuum excavation is a favoured non-destructive digging method in the construction industry for its ability to excavate around underground utilities and infrastructure safely. H2flow Hire uses cutting-edge plant and equipment to offer specialist hydro vacuum excavation services, providing a safe, accurate, efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to manual and mechanical digging.

Other excavation methods risk unnecessary, avoidable damage and service delays to vital underground utilities and infrastructure. In contrast, our hydro vacuum excavation technology uses high-pressure water and vacuum systems to break up soil and precisely expose buried assets, leaving them untouched. It avoids the need for heavy machinery, further protecting utilities and infrastructure. The result is an optimised approach to digging with reduced labour, backfill and restoration requirements. Projects gain the advantages of a smarter, safer approach with greater program certainty.

Benefits of non-destructive digging

Improved safety

Maximum asset protection

Reduced risk of strikes

Unmatched precision

Faster, more efficient excavation

Better project productivity

Less ground disturbance

Reduced environmental footprint

Enhanced access and versatility

Reduced noise

Better stakeholder outcomes

Cost savings

Our hydro vacuum excavation services support a range of project objectives – all reducing the risk of damage to utilities, such as water, gas, communications and power, alongside infrastructure, such as sensitive foundations.

The method’s surgical precision safeguards valuable underground assets via accurate locating and safe excavation for construction projects and maintenance works.

In doing so, it helps projects avoid costly repairs and downtime, while improving safety, accuracy and efficiency in the field.

This powerful, non-destructive solution also improves safety for project teams, key stakeholders and the wider public by reducing the potential for accidents and damage. Our hydro vacuum excavation services offer further value, such as delivery amid tight access in challenging and confined spaces, improved night works with reduced noise around sensitive receptors, and less soil and surface disruption and associated restoration works.

Potholing

Our potholing services accurately expose underground utilities for verification and maintenance with minimal surface disruption

Trenching

Our trenching solutions use hydro vacuum technology to create clean trenches, reducing the risk of damage to existing infrastructure

Pit cleaning

We efficiently remove debris and sediment from pits and manholes, ensuring optimal functionality and preventing blockages

Signpost digging

Using our hydro vacuum method, we rapidly and accurately excavate signpost holes with minimal soil disturbance

Pile hole digging

We prepare sites for foundation work via pile hole excavation that achieves minimal soil disturbance and maximum accuracy

Line installation

Our expertise in line installation ensures safe excavation to specification for placing new underground conduits and cables
