What Is Vacuum Excavation and Why It’s Ideal for Airport Environments
Vacuum excavation—also called hydro excavation or non-destructive digging—uses high-pressure air or water and suction to safely remove soil around buried utilities.
Unlike mechanical digging, it eliminates the risk of striking live electrical lines, communication cables, or fuel pipelines.
At Perth Airport, this technique is vital because:
The area contains dense underground service networks.
Operations cannot be interrupted by service damage or downtime.
Strict regulations require approved low-impact excavation methods.
Our vacuum excavation units deliver controlled, low-impact excavation that keeps airport operations running smoothly while maintaining compliance with Perth Airport’s safety framework.
Perth Airport Excavation Permit & Safety Compliance
Working within Perth Airport requires adherence to strict guidelines. iVac WA ensures full compliance with the Perth Airport Permit to Work (PEMAC) process.
We maintain the highest standards to ensure every vacuum excavation project at Perth Airport runs safely and efficiently.
Key steps include:
- Permit applications and Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS)
- Coordination with airport operations and service protection officers
- Detailed risk assessments for excavation near high-risk assets
- Safety supervision and environmental compliance

Why Choose Vacuum Excavation for Perth Airport
Airports like Perth operate over complex underground networks of utilities and fuel systems. Traditional mechanical excavation poses serious risks: utility strikes, costly repairs, and project delays.
That’s why vacuum excavation is now the preferred method for all Perth Airport excavation works. It uses controlled air or water pressure to loosen soil, which is then safely suctioned into debris tanks—preventing damage to nearby infrastructure.
Our team consists of highly trained operators.
Real-World Example
We recently completed a vacuum excavation project for MGC Civil in Secret Harbour to safely expose underground assets prior to trenching. Our team utilised the KingVac 11000 to complete the works without damaging existing infrastructure and within the project’s tight timeline.
