Non-Destructive Digging

Non-destructive digging is the safer option for workers, the environment, underground utilities, and surrounding infrastructure. Because of this, it is used in a variety of industries, including construction, mining, and utilities.

Non-destructive digging trucks are commonly used for excavation work in urban areas where underground infrastructure is densely packed, and traditional excavation methods could cause significant damage and disruption. They can also be used for a range of other applications, including potholing, trenching, and hydro excavation.

As part of our Industrial services at SSTC, we offer safe, efficient, and effective non-destructive digging. We are experts in a range of different applications and industries, making it easy for us to tailor the service to your needs.

Our trucks are equipped with a powerful water pump and a high-pressure hose that can reach depths of up to ten metres. The high-pressure water jet breaks up the soil and debris to create a slurry. The slurry of soil and debris is then extracted using a vacuum system into a holding tank on the truck and disposed of offsite.

The right equipment for the job ensures it is done in the safest and most efficient way possible. At SSTC, we use Capellotto non-destructive digging trucks. Capellotto is a leading manufacturer of non-destructive digging trucks and offers a range of models with different tank sizes, pump capacities and other features to suit different applications and industries. These trucks are designed to be safe, efficient, and reliable, making them a popular choice and the right equipment for contractors and utility companies around the world.

Unlike traditional digging, non-destructive digging is a non-invasive method that minimises damage to the surrounding environment and infrastructure. Because non-destructive digging uses hydro-excavation, it is effective in breaking up soil and debris, even in areas with heavy clay or rocky soil, but won’t break through water or sewage lines. Non-destructive digging also reduces the amount of work involved in clearing soil and debris that needs to be disposed of as they are vacuumed up and disposed of offsite.

Non-destructive digging is not only a safer option for the surrounding environment, wildlife, and infrastructure but also for the workers by reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. Additionally, hydro-excavation reduces the risk of cave-ins because the highly pressurised water jet will not destabilise the soil surrounding the excavation site.

Each industry and job will usually require a different application of non-destructive digging. That's why our team are expertly trained in a range of different applications, including but not limited to potholing, trenching, and hydro excavation. We also ensure that the best equipment for the job is used with Capellotto non-destructive digging trucks.
