What We Do

Hydro Excavation

Our systems are structured around two man work teams.  By having a driver and an assistant, we achieve the following while maintaining competitive pricing

  • Less chances of fatigue
  • Higher productivity as one person is not rallying from place to place
  • Increased risk management, through eliminating the sole management of any issues
  • Ability to reach the controls by a second person
  • Improved health and safety for our team
  • To utilize our dual water blasters, both team members can dig at the same time if required

Southeys via its design partner, Smart Dig, have introduced technologies and practices that are advanced when comparing with other Hydro Excavators.

Vacuum Loading

Powerful vacuum loading and highly skilled flushing ensures effective removal of debris, flooding and blockages.  Using our recycling plant we recover sands, aggregates and water for reuse.

Whether you need to remove 200 cbm from your site pond, or 3 cbm from your retaining wall post holes, Southeys Group can offer you a cost-effective solution.

Our modern fleet of vacuum loading trucks and high volume trailers (3000 – 25000 litres) are designed to meet your needs efficiently and cost-effectively.

Health & Safety

Southeys Group has first rate health and safety programmes for its operations and the practice of hydro excavation can be safer for workers on site than mechanical excavating.

Our technological advancements enable us to deliver both enhanced productivity and safer working practices.

Support for Main Contractors

“I would highly recommend Southeys services, who have been an invaluable partner in delivering Hydro-Excavation and Vacuum Truck services on our project since late 2019. Their hydro-excavation services have enabled precise and non-destructive digging, ensuring that underground utilities remain intact while allowing safe and effective site prep. Additionally their vacuum truck operations have proven essential in managing our Bentonite waste for recycling.” Kim Burke, Procurement Lead, Ghella Abergeldie Joint Venture, 2025

Hydro Excavation
We have engaged Southey’s trucks on several occasions over the past 6 months. We often ring at very short notice and require 2-3 truckloads of water removal minimum and sometimes more. 
Their professionalism and can do attitude always ensures we get the service we ask for.  Their ability to shift things around to ensure we get assistance, generally within a very short period, is outstanding.

I have met a number of your drivers and each of them are obliging, competent and a real pleasure to work with.

As a Main Contractor we will most certainly be continuing with your service and recommending you to others.”
Cheers,

- Chris Sheehan, Foreman, China Hawkins Construction JV
