What is Vacuum Excavation?

Vacuum Excavation (also known as Hydro-Excavation or NDD) is a safe, non-destructive method of digging that uses high-pressure water to loosen soil and a high-volume suction system to remove debris into a spoil tank. Unlike mechanical excavators, vacuum units prevent damage to sensitive underground utilities like gas pipes, fibre optics, and water mains, making them essential for Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) verification and service potholing.
