VAC Group – An Australian Success Story

Established back in 2000 with two men and one truck, VAC Group is a 100% Australian owned and operated company priding itself on being industry leaders in the provision of quality non-destructive vacuum excavation, underground asset location and mapping.

Since their humble beginnings, the company has expanded to accommodate over 155 staff, 85 vacuum excavation units, five electronic detection crews, and remain Australia’s only independently operated 3D radar for utility depiction.

Leaders in Technology and Education

With innovation and education at the forefront of all our operations, VAC Group has successfully developed and implemented a number of cutting-edge technologies, helping us to continue to provide complete solutions for our clients.

Developed by some of the leading minds in the Geophysical field, we’re proud of our trademarked Sparas and Latro technologies which utilise ground penetrating radar (GPR) to provide accurate data for quality 3D modelling of subsurface utility information.

In addition to these breakthroughs, VAC Group’s patented Soil Transfer technology has revolutionised on-site soil recycling and disposal, garnering positive attention and industry praise on both a national and international scale.

The educational branch of our business provides customised training solutions to companies, contractors, and sole traders in the construction industry. With access to a wide range of resources, affiliate programs, and up-to-date industry information, employers can enlist our training services to adequately induct new employees and up-skill their pre-existing staff.

“When it comes to a non-destructive vacuum excavation, it’s not only about the overall size of the vehicle – there are a number of key factors that need to be taken into account. Together with factors such as tank/hopper capacities and vacuum pressure, there are also the critical issues relating to size, maneuverability, ease of use of the equipment and, perhaps most importantly. The operating costs.”
