Why Professional MINI EXCAVATION Matters
Having the right excavator on-site, operated by someone who genuinely understands civil construction, makes a significant difference to project outcomes, timelines, and safety.
Confined Access & Backyard Excavation
Our 1.7T mini excavator is specifically suited to jobs where standard excavators can’t access — tight backyards, narrow residential lots, landscaping projects, and confined urban sites across Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Robina, and surrounding Gold Coast suburbs. Small footprint, big capability.
Civil Pipe Laying & Sewer/Stormwater Excavation
With Thomas’s background as a qualified civil pipe layer, TNT HydroVac’s excavation work for water main, sewer, and stormwater projects is done with real civil construction knowledge. Accurate trench depth, grade, and bedding — setting up the pipe layer for a compliant, efficient installation
Civil Site Preparation & Trenching
We provide civil site preparation and trenching for construction projects across Yatala, Ormeau, Coomera, Helensvale, and the broader Gold Coast industrial and residential development corridor. From service connections to full-site earthworks, TNT HydroVac delivers efficient excavation outcomes.
Combination Vac Truck & Excavator Jobs
Many civil excavation jobs benefit from combining our mini excavator with the hydro vac truck — using NDD to safely expose existing services before mechanical excavation begins. TNT HydroVac can coordinate both assets on-site for maximum efficiency and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size jobs is the 1.7T mini excavator suited to?
Our 1.7T excavator is ideal for residential access-restricted sites, backyard excavations, civil pipe trenching, service connections, and smaller civil construction works. It can access tight spaces that larger machines cannot reach. Contact us to discuss your specific project.
Do you charge separately for the vac truck and the excavator?
Pricing depends on the scope of your project — some jobs use one machine, others benefit from a combined vac truck and excavator approach. Contact Thomas directly for a transparent, itemised quote tailored to your job.
Can TNT HydroVac handle sewer and stormwater excavation for civil projects?
Absolutely. Thomas’s background as a qualified civil pipe layer means sewer, stormwater, and water main excavation is done with genuine civil construction knowledge — accurate depths, proper batter, and preparation for compliant pipe installation.
