What Is Non Destructive Digging?
It is a process that involves excavating the ground service without the risk of damaging what’s lying within or beneath the ground. Typical underground infrastructure that needs their integrity maintained while excavating are pipelines, services infrastructure or sensitive industry-related installations.
NDD employs high-pressure water or air onto the ground service to break up organic or inorganic material, with the debris generated vacuumed into a tank. This allows the job to be debris free and relatively tidy.
How Does NDD Work?
Non Destructive Digging Melbourne can be simplified into a 4-step process:
Identification of vital underground infrastructure
Before excavation is performed, it is very important to identify and map out underground utilities in the area of the dig.
Loosening of soil using high-pressure water or air
High-pressure water or air is then introduced to the ground surface to loosen the soil and to dig below its surface.
Debris or material extraction with a high-powered vacuum
Soil, debris or loose materials are then removed from the dig site via a high-powered vacuum
Transporting and disposing of excavated materials
All materials vacuumed will then be transported away and disposed of responsibly at their respective disposal sites

Advantages Of Non Destructive Digging In Melbourne
Safety And Reliability
NDD is safe and reliable when compared with mechanical digging as no sharp tools or heavy machinery is used. Debris is vacuumed out as soon as they are loosened, which negates the need for tipper trucks which in turn lessens the chances of damaging fragile underground services.
Flexibility
NDD trucks have no problems accessing tight spots and hard-to-reach areas as we are essentially just using a hose and a vacuum to do your work! As long as our trucks are within their range of extendable distance, we are sure to be able to reach the dig site. Call us to find out more about our range!
Efficient And Accurate
Our methods are proven to be efficient and highly accurate due to the pinpoint accuracy of our Air Excavation or Hydro Excavation methods. We utilize jets of water or air directed onto the ground surface to excavate and/or expose the utilities buried underneath the ground. All debris is then vacuumed back into the truck to be disposed of, leaving the excavated area dirt and debris free.
Environmental Friendly
With the absence of tipper trucks or heavy machinery, going the NDD route is much more environmentally friendly and by using our NDD methods, we can assure you that there is minimal ground disturbance and footprint on the area.
Mess-Free
With our vacuum and disposal methods, the excavation site will be mess-free as we do both the digging and debris removal at essentially the same time!
