Being able to accurately locate existing underground utility services is vital when performing any excavation work or underground construction projects. Our specialists at VESA Vacuum Excavation use the technique referred to as potholing to accurately and quickly locate underground utilities. This is done by digging holes over and around the buried assets to expose and avoid hitting gas and water pipes, or electrical and telecommunications cables.
Potholing is extremely accurate and can help eliminate risks such as accidents, costly repairs, service disruptions and equipment damage. The technique is also used to map out the source, route and end point of underground services.
Digging without knowing the precise location of utility lines can present a major hazard which can easily be avoided if you call VESA Vacuum Excavation. You will save time and money and be able to make informed decisions regarding your project.
Potholing is the most accurate and safe method to identify an underground asset!
Eliminate the risk!
Vacuum Excavation is also referred to as non-destructive digging or hydro excavation. This is a safer method of excavation around underground services when compared to traditional techniques that use mechanical or manual digging methods.
VESA Vacuum Excavation use quality equipment operated by highly experienced staff to ensure that there is no risk of damaging underground assets. Pipes and cables are often located at various depths and run in different directions. You can trust us to provide a safe and efficient means of exposing these buried cables and pipes for repair and maintenance.
The technique involves using truck mounted units to blast high pressurised water to excavate and simultaneously remove the soil into a holding tank using a powerful vacuum. This leaves the work area clean and free of piles of dirt. Non-destructive digging can also be used to bore pier or post holes, and to expose tree roots eliminating unnecessary damage to lawns and plant life.The use of non-destructive digging produces less risk and site impact compared to the use of heavy machinery and is becoming a preferred method of excavation.

VESA specialises in locating and exposing underground assets including power, gas, water, telecommunications. In order to safely and efficiently locate buried services the following steps are performed by our team of experts:
VESA Vacuum Excavation are experienced at locating, potholing and proving the exact location of underground services. We provide the most efficient and reliable way of mitigating the risk of damage to buried assets so that you can safely perform the required repairs and maintenance or to continue further earthworks for your project.
Eliminate the risk!
Vacuum excavation is used as a non-destructive, safe and efficient trenching method. At VESA our highly skilled operators can dig around underground services such as pipes and cables with only limited disturbance to surrounding soil or previously installed systems or lines. As buried assets can run at various depths and in different directions, vacuum excavation allows precise digging of narrow trenches for the installation, maintenance or inspection of these underground services.
This technique of trenching performed by VESA Vacuum Excavation ensures there is less risk and site impact compared to the conventional and more destructive methods that use mechanical excavators.

Vacuum excavation is not only a safe and non-destructive digging technique, but also an effective method for cleaning out pipes, drains, service pits and underground ducts.
VESA truck units are equipped to safely and easily remove dry or wet materials such as dirt, sand, gravel, mud, green waste and other materials. It's a less intrusive method that leaves no mess on site as the debris is transferred directly into the holding tank for easy removal.
VESA operators can easily access hard to reach confined spaces without having to enter them. Our high powered vacuum system removes the waste with ease while the high-pressure water jetters leave the pits, pipes and drains clean.
Eliminate the risk!
When it comes to difficult to access areas you can trust VESA Vacuum Excavation to do the job for you. We have the equipment and experience to perform excavation and clean out in areas where conventional machinery would have access issues or restrictions. We're capable of overcoming obstacles on the work site including:
VESA can safely and effectively complete your excavation or clean out job even in limited access areas leaving the work area clean and free of dirt and debris.
