Non-Destructive Digging
Have an underground infrastructure job you need completed with as little damage to the surroundings as possible? Our non-destructive digging solutions will ensure you get your project done on time and on budget.
What is non-destructive digging?
Hydro excavation or non destructive digging is an innovative way to expose underground utilities like pipes, telecommunications and electrical lines safely. NDD is one of the most environmentally friendly ways for excavation due to its non-destructive nature. The use of our vac truck on site reduces the risk of us damaging underground assets and utilities allowing us to complete your works in a safe and efficient manner.

“We thought Glen and Michelle were fantastic. Great communication prior to, and after service. As we don’t live where we had work done (yet) they took photos for us. We found their quote to be reasonably priced. We were delighted that we heard about them, and would not hesitate in recommending them in connecting your sewer boundary pit to sewer line, or other associated work.”
