Safe
MACROVAC dry vacuum excavation offers a non-destructive excavation alternative, minimising risks to workers and nearby utilities and enhancing on-site safety and precision. Our solution significantly reduces the hazards associated with traditional excavation techniques.
Efficient
By eliminating the need for slurry disposal, our dry vac technology streamlines the excavation process, saving time on unnecessary trips and reducing overall costs, ensuring projects stay on schedule and within budget while maximising productivity.
Sustainable
The ability to reuse excavated materials directly on-site reduces waste, eliminates the need for additional transport or landfill use, and supports environmentally conscious construction practices for a greener future.

Critical Valve Replacement – Belmont PS Rosegardens, WA
Critical valve replacements on DN1000 and DN600 pipelines at Belmont Pump Station required precise excavation within a heavily congested utilities corridor containing high-pressure water, communications, power, and existing water assets. With a scheduled shutdown in place, the environment posed a high risk where any contact with live services could result in major disruption, safety hazards, and significant delays. A controlled, non-destructive excavation methodology was essential to maintain safety and keep the shutdown program on track. Client: Water Corporation Working in close proximity to live services, DryVac technology unit enabled safe and efficient excavation around both…
Precision Excavation for METRONET’s Live Assets.
Protecting Critical Assets in a Live Utility Zone. METRONET alliance contractors required a non-mechanical excavation solution to protect live underground assets, including fuel, gas, and cable mains. MACROVAC’s dry vac system safely removed material without damaging infrastructure. The process eliminated ‘line of fire’ risks, reused excavated material for backfill, and ensured uninterrupted rail freight operations. Clients: NWA and ALUA The Challenge METRONET alliance contractors required a safe, effective, productive excavation system that would not damage critical live underground assets which included: • BP KWOL Fuel main which provides aviation fuel to Perth Airport. (NWA) • ATCO High Pressure Gas Mains (NWA…
Perth Airport – Safe & Efficient Excavation with MACROVAC.
Minimising Risk in a High-Stakes Environment. West Coast Civil used MACROVAC at Perth Airport to safely excavate around a live fuel main without damaging its protective coating. The dry vacuum process enabled precise material removal, reused in-situ backfill, and eliminated waste. Efficient suction technology ensured a safe, cost-effective solution with no disruption to airport operations. Client: West Coast Civil The Challenge WCC required a system that would vacuum excavate around existing live Fuel main which provides aviation fuel to Perth Airport. The existing main was required to be installed to a deeper level to comply…
