About Us
About TNT HydroVac
Gold Coast's Owner-Operated Hydro Excavation Specialist
Our Story
TNT HydroVac was founded with a clear purpose: to build a specialist excavation business on the Gold Coast that clients could genuinely rely on. After 6 years working in civil construction as a qualified pipe layer — understanding exactly what contractors, plumbers, and site managers need from an excavation partner — Thomas made the move to go out on his own. Equipped with a 3100L hydro vac truck and a 1.7-tonne mini excavator, TNT HydroVac is now establishing itself as the Gold Coast’s trusted excavation specialist, one quality job at a time.
