Underground Asset Installations
Utility installation can be a costly process, and there is no bigger challenge than rock. In Western Australia, where some of the hardest rock exists and with the summer heat, rock can make installing a utility a strenuous process without the correct equipment. Horizontal Directional Rock Drilling (HDRD) is one of the most effective ways of installing a utility as it negates the need to excavate large volumes of difficult materials. HDRD is a low impact alternative to conventional excavation, and in some instances the only viable solution. Our industry experience brings valuable insight to client projects to help find a solution to installation setbacks.

Vacuum Excavation
Hydro excavation and soft digging is an increasingly popular and non-destructive form of dredging used to remove almost any kind of surface without damaging existing infrastructure. There are numerous applications for vacuum excavation systems, including locating services, cleaning drilling mud and sucking cable through pipes that may be contaminated with asbestos.
Underground services can pose serious liability and safety risks to any construction project. Gas, power and telecommunication lines are everywhere, especially where you least expect. We successfully locate all underground services on site while keeping environmental impacts to a minimum. Whether it’s optical fiber, gas lines, sewer or water pipes, our expert team delivers timely and effective identification of all underground infrastructures.
