Hydro Excavation Gold Coast & Brisbane:
Certified Wet Hire Services
At APU, we deliver professional hydro excavation services across the Gold Coast, combining precision, safety and efficiency. Our certified operators and modern hydro vac equipment are ideal for civil, commercial and municipal projects where traditional digging poses risks.
Whether you’re trenching near utilities, cleaning stormwater pits, or exposing underground infrastructure, our fleet is ready 24/7. We support projects across the Gold Coast and surrounding areas with responsive service and high-performance hydro excavators.
Advanced Hydro Vacuum Excavation Capabilities
Hydro excavation (also known as non-destructive digging) uses high-pressure water to break up soil, then vacuums the slurry into a holding tank. This process is safer and more precise than mechanical methods, reducing the risk of damaging buried services.
Our team operates purpose-built hydro vac trucks designed for tight urban worksites, environmentally sensitive zones and high-traffic corridors.
Key service applications include:
- Safe utility exposure with hydro vacuum excavation
- Stormwater and sewer drain cleaning
- Emergency dewatering and sludge removal
- Trenching and daylighting in congested areas
- Post-storm cleanups and site rehabilitation
