What we drill, dig and trench in.
Six things, in the units this crew counts in. The little drill for tight access, the big drill for the long pulls, the vac truck where you can't risk a tooth.
Non-destructive digging (NDD)
Worried about what's below? Vac-truck digging takes the risk out of trenching near services. Smarter, safer, sees what's there before it cuts.
Trenching — power & services
Power runs to sheds, water and comms to outbuildings, services to new pads. Trenched in clean and back-filled tidy.
Sewer & rising mains
Long pulls of rising-main pipework, road crossings included. Recent run: 300m+ in a few days, 230m of it a single straight shot.
Communications drilling
New comms cable runs through scrub, paddocks, residential — drilled, not trenched, where it can't be cut. Rocky ground included.
Mini excavator & general civil
When the drill isn't the right tool — pad prep, pit excavation, pipe lay, factory-yard works. The mini-ex on the trailer behind the rig.
Bench / what we run
Drilling and civil — counted in shots, paid in meters.
GV runs two drills, a vac truck and a mini excavator across the Goulburn Valley. Every job lands in the post log with a meter count next to it: 85m shots, 230m straight runs, 300m+ rising mains. We pull comms through scrub, push sewer under sealed roads, and vac-dig the bits where you can't risk a tooth on a service. Kyabram-based, on call any hour.

"Out in the scrub today putting the little drill to work, tackling some rocky ground for new communications. Hard going, but we pushed through."

FAQ · what people ask first
Asked on the phone, answered here.
Where do you work from, and how far do you travel?
Kyabram-based. We cover the Goulburn Valley — Kyabram, Mooroopna, Shepparton, Tatura, Tongala, Echuca, Lancaster, Merrigum and the surrounding farms and towns. Long-distance jobs welcome by quote.
What's the difference between HDD and trenching?
HDD (horizontal directional drilling) tunnels under driveways, lawns, roads and trees instead of digging across them. We pull power, comms, water and sewer through bores up to 250mm round and runs of 85m+. Trenching is faster on open ground; HDD is the only option where you can't cut.
What is non-destructive digging?
It's vac-truck digging — high-pressure water plus a vacuum loosens and lifts the soil without a tooth. Used near live services, roots, pools, fibre and gas where a normal trench is too risky. We turn up with the truck and a clean trench in places a digger can't go.
Do you do small jobs as well as big ones?
Yes. We've trenched in single power runs to backyard sheds and pulled 300m+ of rising sewer main on the same week. The drill comes in two sizes — the little drill for tight residential blocks, the big drill for road crossings and long runs.
Are you available after hours?
We're open 24 hours — the phone is on for emergency civil and breakage callouts. Routine bookings are best during the day; urgent jobs anytime.
Are you insured? Do you have ABN?
Yes — fully insured for civil works in Victoria, ABN held. Happy to send certificates of currency to councils and head contractors before the job starts.
