Underground Service Locator on the Sunshine Coast
We provide safety-focused, reliable support across multiple industries.
Reducing Risk Before You Dig
Digging blind can turn a simple job into a major setback, which is why an experienced underground service locator can make all the difference. Tyzac Group in Beerwah provides reliable service locating across the Sunshine Coast and nearby areas, including Caboolture, North Lakes, Brisbane and Moreton Bay. We help crews confirm the exact position of pipes, cables and critical infrastructure before excavation begins.
Our team uses non-destructive methods to identify utilities clearly, reducing the chance of accidental strikes that lead to delays or costly repairs. We operate confidently in tight access areas, difficult ground conditions and locations with congested networks. Our goal is to give you the clarity needed to plan and work safely around existing services.

A Practical, Non-Destructive Approach
Strong project planning starts with knowing exactly what sits below the surface. Our team combines visual inspection, high-pressure vacuum methods and practical field experience to uncover utilities without damaging nearby infrastructure. This gives contractors, engineers and trades accurate information that supports trenching, drilling, potholing or upgrades.
We remove spoil cleanly into sealed tanks, keeping the work zone tidy and reducing secondary mess. We work efficiently across civil and commercial sites that rely on safe, predictable outcomes and minimal downtime. With clear communication and careful handling, our team ensures every exposure is controlled and ready for the next stage of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Hydro Excavation Work?
Hydro excavation pumps high-pressure, heated water underground in order to break up and loosen the soil. Once the wet soil has a consistency closer to a slurry, the vacuum of the hydro vac truck is used to suck the wet soil out of the ground.
From here, it’s collected inside the holding tank of the truck, then deposited safely later. This sophisticated digging technique is quickly becoming the most popular excavation method when precision and care are needed.
What Is Hydro Excavation Most Commonly Used For?
Hydro excavation is most commonly used for a process called 'daylighting', which means exposing underground pipes, cables, and utilities in order to provide easy and clear access.
Some of the most common applications of hydro excavations include:
- Locating, installing and repairing pipelines and cables
- Maintaining and repairing water lines
- Maintaining and repairing cables used in telecommunications
- Installing signage and poles
- Slot trenching for pipeline and cable installations
- Potholing
- Debris removal
Essentially, hydro excavation is most frequently used in cases where precision and safety are paramount. Hydro excavation is ideal for revealing and accessing underground utilities.
Why Is It Called 'Non-Destructive Digging'?
Hydro excavation is also called non-destructive digging because, when compared to traditional excavation methods, hydro excavation is much safer. Underground utilities, pipelines, cables, and water pipes can all be damaged by the tools used in traditional excavations.
The term 'non-destructive' refers to the fact that hydro excavation doesn’t destroy underground works during the digging process. Because of the precision and accuracy of this excavation method, hydro excavation is also much tidier, making it easier to clean up an excavation site once excavations are complete.
What Happens To The Dirt And Debris That Is Sucked Up During Vacuum Excavations?
The water used during non-destructive digging mixes with the dirt underground to form a soft, viscous slurry, which can then be pulled out of the ground via suction. It's deposited in the holding tank of the vacuum truck, and when the holding tank is full, this dirt can be deposited safely elsewhere in an environmentally responsible way.
The exact location of disposal will depend on where the excavation site is and what is required by the client, but at Tyzac Group we always ensure that we dispose of dirt from our excavations safely.
How Much Does Hydro Excavation Cost?
The precise cost and duration of hydro excavation will depend upon both the size of the area that needs excavating and the complexity of the job.
