The leading local provider of hydro excavation in Townsville

Townsville Hydrovac uses a safe and efficient excavation method called vacuum excavation. The hydrovac combines an excavation unit that removes earth by using high pressure water and a powerful vacuum to create an excavation tool with precision, efficiency, and less clean up. The high-pressure water loosens the ground while the vacuum extracts the debris into a single tank mounted on a truck. 



Hydrovac excavation can be performed effectively on all ground types, including clay, gravel, and sand. Townsville Hydrovac performs safe and efficient excavation on projects including electrical and gas elements, and for industrial, construction, and utility companies in North Queensland. While mechanical earthmoving and underground service locating often come with risks and safety concerns, using a hydrovac eliminates these concerns. The hydrovac provides precision and control when excavating, and pressure regulation ensures services lines are not damaged.

Townsville Hydrovac can make all your digging concerns melt away. Get the hydrovac professionals in to help you with your excavation needs.
