Vacuum Potholing

Probedrill can offer Vacuum Potholing as an additional on-site service.

We have a 3000w Industrial vacuum which is used to install a 1m or 1.5m PVC pipe, which is then used to probe through.

Advantages include:

  • avoiding services
  • saves time, particularly in hard to access areas, as the location can be cleared after the rig is in position
  • unlike hand augering, it can be used below the water table
  • can be used independently or within the rig
  • at just $20/location, it's great value for money and saves mobilising a vacuum truck to site
  • DBYD plans can also be organised (2 days notice required)
