NON-DESTRUCTIVE DIGGING
EXCAVATING WITH PRECISION & SAFETY
SAFE, PRECISE UNDERGROUND EXCAVATION
Non-Destructive Digging (NDD) is a specialised technique used to excavate underground utilities and infrastructure with minimal impact on the surrounding environment. At Mac Waste, we prioritise precision and safety in our non-destructive digging services to ensure reliable results without compromising the integrity of existing structures.
Pinpoint Accuracy - Advanced hydro excavation technology allows us to precisely locate and expose buried utilities without damage
Maximum Safety - Minimise the risk of utility strikes and ensure worker and public safety throughout the excavation process
Efficient Service - Complete projects faster with less disruption to surrounding structures and landscapes
HOW NON-DESTRUCTIVE DIGGING WORKS
Also known as hydro excavation or vacuum excavation, our process combines high-pressure water with powerful vacuum technology for safe, precise excavation.
1
HIGH-PRESSURE WATER
Water or air breaks up soil and debris with precision, avoiding damage to underground utilities.
2
VACUUM EXTRACTION
Loosened material is safely vacuumed into a debris tank for proper disposal.
3
UTILITY EXPOSURE
Underground pipes, cables, and conduits are carefully exposed without risk or damage.
4
SAFE COMPLETION
Work is completed efficiently with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
THE NDD ADVANTAGE
Non-destructive digging offers superior advantages over traditional excavation methods
Reduced Utility Strikes - Dramatically lower the risk of damaging underground pipes, cables, and conduits
Minimal Disruption - Protect surrounding structures, landscapes and reduce project downtime
Enhanced Safety - Increased protection for workers and the public throughout excavation
Improved Efficiency - Complete excavation projects faster with greater precision
Environmental Care - Minimise soil disturbance and maintain environmentally friendly practices
Cost Effective - Avoid costly repairs from accidental utility damage and project delays
