Unlike the potholes that we avoid on main roads, potholing refers to an efficient non-destructive excavation solution that is used to dig down, locate, assess, and help repair underground utilities.

Understanding Potholing and Potholing Services in Brisbane and Sydney

Potholing utilities can be a challenging aspect of any large or small civil works, mining and construction project. Potholing refers to a non-destructive digging process that uses vacuum excavation to dig precision holes over and around utility lines to expose them. The pressurised water breaks up the soil, and a sucker truck pulls the soil out of the area and funnels it into a holding tank. The correct potholing equipment can break through a variety of mediums including rock, hard soil and rigid stones.

After the digging process starts, a reputable company that offers hole digging services uses specialised equipment to get a clear picture of the buried cables, utility lines or pipes. They take this picture and all of the information they've gathered, and they're able to give you a clear report on where any hidden or buried lines are, and you can start your project in Melbourne or Gladstone without worrying about incurring more costs due to accidentally damaging or breaking these lines.
