Precision boring & locating
Drill Direct: boring, locating, leak detection & vacuum excavation
We have invested in the most advanced equipment on the market to suit today's demands for speed and accuracy: Vermeer drilling and vacuum plant, Sewerin and Radiodetection locating equipment, operated by AUS CertLoc certified locators.
Vermeer D20x22 S3, bores up to 600 mm diameter
Class-leading rotational and carriage speeds with a shorter, narrower, lighter footprint, installing more linear metres per day under roads, driveways and landscaping with minimal disruption.
Radiodetection TruDepth™ RD7200 service locating
Top-of-the-range Radiodetection equipment delivers consistent, high-performance results. Pipes with cathodic protection can be traced using CPS passive and compass modes for accurate alignment with the target pipeline.
Sewerin Aqua Phone A200 for copper, PVC & poly
We locate the actual leak site rather than just the line, cutting repair time, response time and the area that needs to be exposed. From a residential leak through concrete to a long-run mains leak under asphalt.
Vermeer VSK100XT vacuum excavation in 1,000, 3,000 & 6,000 litre units
Integrated silencing for noise-sensitive sites, reverse-flow blower to offload spoil and clear blockages quickly, in-tank washdown and an optional remote-controlled hydraulic boom, for safe exposure of live services.
