TAKING CARE GROUP HAS A FLEET OF HYDROVAC VEHICLES & TRUCKS PROVIDING DRAIN, SEP, GPT & CULVERT CLEANING AND NON-DAMAGING EXCAVATION
At Taking Care Group Hydrovac Services we have our fleet of Hydrovac vehicles and trucks which work heavily within the civil and arboricultural space providing drain, SEP, GPT and culvert cleaning/servicing across a range of areas, non-damaging excavation coupled with service location ensuring safer and complete excavation solutions.
Hydrovac excavation, also known as hydro-vac, is a minimally invasive technique that can be used to protect trees during construction.
How it Works
- Pressurised water breaks up soil cover
- A powerful vacuum removes debris
- The process is precise and non-destructive.
Our Hydro Excavation Service Applications
- Tree Preservation: Can be used to preserve large trees when sidewalks and utilities need to be modified
- Root Inspection: Can be used to assess the potential impacts of proposed development on existing trees
- Root Barrier Installation: Can be used to restrict tree root growth from unwanted areas
- Root Deflector Installation: Can be used to correct root deformations
- Selective Root Pruning: Can be used to prune roots without damaging the tree
- Tree Relocation: Can be used to remove soil around trees to relocate them
- Safe Excavation Near Utilities: digging near gas lines, water pipers, electrical cables or fiber optics – reduce the risk of costly accidents.
- Precision Digging: targeted excavation without disturbing surrounding soil or structures.
- Trenching and Slot Excavation: narrow trenches for pipelines or electrical conduits or drainage – clean controlled trenching with hydrovac.
- Driveway or Sidewalk UPLIFTING By Roots: Eliminate the Roots
- Debris Removal & Cleanup: Hydrovac units can suction up wet or dry materials, making them useful for removing debris, sludge or other waste materials from jobs sites or flooding.
- Potholing/Daylighting: if you need to expose underground utilities without damaging them, Hydrovac is the safest way.
- Remote or Hard-to-Reach Locations – Hydrovac hoses can reach areas where heavy machinery cannot making them great for tight spaces, urban areas or environmentally sensitive zones.
- Environmental and Regulatory Compliance – many businesses and councils prefer Hydrovac excavation because it minimises environmental impact and complies with safety regulations.
