06 / Featured Capability
Hydro Excavation & NDD for Major Utility Projects Across Melbourne
Pressure Works was engaged by a tier-one civil contractor to support a major infrastructure and arterial road duplication project in Melbourne. Our experienced crews used hydro excavation and non-destructive digging (NDD) to safely expose, identify and protect more than 3km of critical underground services ahead of construction works.
Working within a demanding project schedule, the works were completed on specification and on time across 14 days, with strong coordination between our operators, site management and other contractors. Most importantly, the project was delivered with zero service strikes, helping keep the broader infrastructure works moving safely and without unnecessary delays.

5 Star Reviews - Pressure Works - Hydro Excavation & NDD Melbourne
Pressure Works are the only NDD crew we call. Their reports are clean, the trucks are always on time, and they understand what a project manager needs from their paperwork.
We've used the team for everything from emergency mains exposures at 2am to scheduled trade-waste pit cleans. Never an issue — the crews are sharp and you can actually get a person on the phone.
Pressure Works delivers on tight council programs without drama. Their daysheets and GPS reporting feed straight into our asset register. We've extended their panel agreement twice.
