BRISBANE, Australia - AussieJournal -- Vacuum excavation, also known as non-destructive digging (NDD), uses high-pressure air or water to loosen soil, which is then vacuumed up into a holding tank. This process exposes underground assets safely without the risk of cutting or crushing them, unlike traditional mechanical digging methods.

What Are Underground Assets?

1. Electricity cables:
High-voltage and low-voltage lines powering homes, businesses, and infrastructure.

2. Telecommunications:
Fibre optic cables and copper lines supporting internet, phone, and data networks.

3. Water and sewer mains:
Pipes carrying drinking water, stormwater, and wastewater.

4. Gas pipelines:
Transporting natural gas for residential, commercial, and industrial use.

5. Irrigation systems:
Especially in agricultural areas, where underground irrigation and drainage pipes are common.

Including traffic signal conduits and control systems

Damaging any of these can lead to dangerous accidents, service outages, costly repairs, and serious project delays. It's not just about avoiding fines, it's about safety, responsibility, and doing the job right.

How does vacuum excavation protect underground assets?

Precision and visibility:
Operators can see and navigate around buried utilities, rather than guessing or relying on outdated maps.

Reduced risk of damage:
Since no sharp tools are used directly on the assets, the chance of a break or rupture is drastically lowered.

Compliant with Queensland regulations:
Many local councils and utility companies recommend or require non-destructive digging near known asset locations.

Environmentally friendly:
Minimal soil disturbance and quicker site restoration make vacuum excavation a cleaner, greener choice.
