Non-Destructive Digging (NDD), or Hydro Excavation, has become a preferred solution for safely exposing underground services without risking damage to vital infrastructure. At CSA Specialised Services, we leverage advanced multiple works to offer safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible digging solutions across Victoria and Queensland.
With extensive experience collaborating with regional councils and leading construction groups across Victoria and Queensland, we are currently tendering for a project in Victoria focused on safely exposing underground services in specified areas.
Scope of Work: Expertly Managed, End-to-End
Our approach to hydro excavation and utility location services is meticulously planned to meet every client’s requirements, from safety to compliance:
- Initial Coordination and Site Preparation
Our team manages all necessary permit applications, including road occupation permits, and establishes temporary work zones with barriers, fencing, and shade cloth, ensuring the safety of both our crew and the public. - Precision Safe excavation Digging
NDD is executed at designated locations as specified on the site plan, with careful excavation around utilities such as electrical, water, gas, and telecommunications lines. Our remarkable project managers and operators follow a methodical approach to prevent damage to any existing infrastructure, and our team is responsible for locating any potentially interfering services, and setting up appropriate safety measures as necessary. - Traffic Management and Safety Precautions
To create a secure work environment, we implement temporary fencing and shade cloth barriers to separate public and work areas, allowing our crew to perform their tasks with precision while minimising disruptions. - Detection and Service Proving
On-site, our crew utilises electronic detection (QL-B) technology to accurately locate and verify requested utilities. Each service exposure is documented in detail, including measurements of depth, diameter, material type, and pit dimensions. We temporarily reinstate the area with compacted crushed rock and cold mix asphalt, followed by a permanent hot mix upon project completion. - Waste Management and Environmental Responsibility
CSA follows rigorous environmental standards for handling and transporting excavated material, ensuring that all waste is discharged offsite to maintain a clean and organised work area. - Detailed Reporting and Documentation
Each project concludes with a comprehensive report provided in PDF format, complete with photos and detailed service information. Our service locator collaborates with the client’s appointed surveyor to ensure all findings are accurately documented, supporting effective site planning and project coordination.
