Vacuum Excavation

Vacuum Excavation Gladstone

Sensitive Area Digging Central Coast

Before you dig, consider the impact of the excavation on the land and any sensitive infrastructure lines and pipes that may be below the surface.

At Rayment Excavations in Gladstone, we use vacuum excavation equipment for various purposes.

This type of machinery is preferable when you need to dig below utility lines. It’s useful for trenching when there are utility lines or other underground infrastructure nearby, it’s perfect for removing land debris, and it’s extremely effective in cleaning out drains and culverts.

Any type of dig is safer and more precise with vacuum excavation for many reasons. Keep reading or give us a call to speak to us directly.

Modern Excavations

A lot can go wrong when you dig, even with appropriate measuring and estimating. Vacuum excavation is the most precise as the technology and equipment are light years ahead of its predecessors.


For instance, our vacuum excavation trucks are mine compliant, all terrain, state-of-the-art vehicles which meet AS1210 specifications. They wield a 6 inch, remote-operated vacuum/water pump with boom, which can jet 220 litres per minute.

Cost Effective Excavation Services

Because vacuum excavation is a more sophisticated method, it takes less time and effort, which leads to a more efficient job completed within budget.

That doesn’t even begin to factor in costs incurred from accidentally disturbing underground infrastructure.

Safety In Focus

Precision means control, and when you can maintain control at an excavation site, you are creating safer working conditions and avoiding the possibility of severed utility lines.


Another safety feature of vacuum excavation is a cleaner site since extracted material is collected, which also reduces workplace accidents. Our team ensures that all projects are compliant with safety standards to avoid accidents.

Why Is Vacuum Excavation Better Than Traditional Excavation?

  • Air vacuum and hydro vacuum excavations cause minimum disruption to the area around the excavation site and there is much less chance of damaging underground utilities, water lines, sewage pipes and water storage.
  • This method is also faster than traditional digging, making it more cost effective, and it keeps the area of the excavation cleaner as it removes debris and stores it until the job is finished.

Benefits Of Vacuum Excavation

When it comes to excavation, it’s easy to think all you need is a simple digger, especially if you’re doing a seemingly basic job, but it’s worth thinking about all the options available to you. Poor excavation can have serious consequences for your home or business – literally rocking the foundations. 


Vacuum excavation offers an altogether different way to excavate. Clever suction technology means you can organise precision groundwork simply and safely, and here at Rayment Excavations, we offer a host of skills, experience, and top-quality earthmoving equipment to make excavation easy. 

  • Minimum damage, maximum protection

    • Remember that sinking feeling? That tell-tale clunk that means a damaged sewage pipe or cable and a whole heap of work? With vacuum excavation, you can say goodbye to that. No moving parts means no accidents, and no added time on the job. 
    • Choosing vacuum excavation is the best way to ensure simple, speedy, and precise earth moving, without mishaps. 

  • Worksite is safe, clean, & easy to manage

    • Traditional digging means dirt, dust, and debris, which creates problems for your equipment and your teams. The level of labour needed to lift and shift quantities of excavated material is pretty huge, and the risks to health can mean losing workers when you need them most. 
    • Vacuum excavation does away with all this. Dirt and debris are removed swiftly, so it’s not getting into equipment or affecting your team’s health. There’s minimal mess and fuss, just simple, efficient earth moving. 

  • Save time & money

    • Vacuum excavation can save two of your most precious resources – time and money. The process is speedy and simple and needs fewer people than traditional excavation methods. 
    • Add in the fact that there’s less risk of damage to underground utilities and the cost benefits are clear. There’s no need to factor in special equipment for different types of soil either – vacuum excavation can handle everything from clay to rocky terrain.

  • Less intrusive & fewer complaints

    • As well as managing your site, you have to make sure there’s minimum annoyance for the folks living close by. Complaints will interfere with your working day and may even halt the job. 
    • Vacuum excavation makes less noise than traditional methods, so it’s not as intrusive for people living and working nearby. Combine this with the lack of dust and debris, and you can be confident that your site will be as complaint-free as possible.

Vacuum Excavation Gladstone FAQs

  • How much can a vacuum excavator extract?

    • The exact productivity of a vacuum extractor system depends on numerous factors, including the ground conditions and your choice of machinery. Providing us with information about your specific needs and goals for vacuum excavation can allow us to provide a clear timeline for how long excavation will take. 

  • Why would I need to use vacuum excavation?

    • Using a vacuum excavation machine is ideal if you need to excavate an area with sensitive infrastructure in place, such as electricity lines and pipework below the surface. As a safer and more precise alternative to traditional methods, it's possible to dig where you need to while mitigating the majority of the risk involved.

  • Do you remove materials after excavation?

    • Our services do not include the removal of materials for excavation. However, we can recommend other local businesses to handle removal, or provide you with advice on the ideal way to remove excavated material.

  • Where is excavated material moved to?

    • The placement of the removed material will depend on the machinery you choose. Certain models may discharge materials off to the side, while others discharge any excavated material to the rear of the machine. You can then dispose of the materials or move them elsewhere as required without the need to offload the excavator or wait for it to fill up.

  • Is vacuum excavation safe?

    • Vacuum excavation in Gladstone is a safe, clean and practical alternative to conventional digging and excavation methods. As no people or hand-operated machinery is directly involved in the process, you can clear significant areas on-site while maintaining the highest standards of productivity and safety.

  • Do I need training to operate a vacuum excavator?

    • Our services include a trained, professional operator with all the knowledge and skill to keep your project on track. By offering a full service, we're able to help you maintain safety on-site and save you time and money on training or potential errors caused by using hire machinery yourself.

  • How does a vacuum excavation machine work?

    • As the name suggests, vacuum excavators use powerful vacuum technology to literally suck up excavated materials and transport them to another location by discharging them from the machine. Because vacuum excavation is extremely precise, it can be used to create clear lines under pipework or electrics, avoiding potential problems on-site and reducing the risk of delays due to accidental damage.

  • Is vacuum excavation faster?

    • If you have a particular area that requires swift excavation, the right machinery makes this task easy. The reduced time necessary to excavated materials makes vacuum excavators a cost-effective option for many different projects. It's faster than traditional digging, more precise and with fewer steps involved.
