Welcome to Specialised Construction Solutions Australia (SCS), your trusted partner in advanced DryVac vacuum excavation. With state-of-the-art German-engineered MTS technology and a seasoned team, we offer safe, efficient, and eco-friendly excavation solutions for construction, mining, and rail maintenance. Our commitment to professionalism, integrity, and customer-centricity ensures we protect in-ground infrastructure and plant root systems while minimising environmental impact. Experience the future of excavation with SCS—where your project's success is our mission.
SCS Australia’s DryVac excavation services ensure that working around existing underground infrastructure is done safely and efficiently while complying with the Western Australian Utility Providers Code of Practice. Our DryVac with its 10’’ suction tube and high-pressure air removes the risk of service strikes. By using high-pressure air, we avoid the risks associated with the traditional water-assisted vacuum excavation technology.
Safely excavate around existing utilities
Excavating, not just potholing
Re-use excavated materials as backfill
Providing Safe Civil Construction Solutions
The suction power of our DryVac enables it to move materials very efficiently while reducing the worksite footprint and construction duration. This makes our DryVac the perfect solution for completing a project in one go; potholing, excavation and debris storage combined into one. The site is kept tidy and the need for labour and equipment is substantially reduced.
Cost effective and safe excavation work
Safe deep excavations
Precision work avoiding over-excavation
Efficient and Safe Mining Services
Using our DryVac around oil, gas and ore infrastructure ensures that excavation and clearing work is completed in a safe and efficient manner. The remote operation and reach of our DryVac enables work to be carried out while site operations are ongoing, thus avoiding lost production. The reach and suction power enable the DryVac to complete clearing work without the need for confined space entries by the operator, therefore greatly reducing any health and safety risks.
Safe excavation in and around ore processing facilities
Conveyor spillage clean-up including live work as workers remain outside exclusion zone
Clearing spills, windrows, sumps and V-drains
Cleaning blocked hoppers; flue and cooling towers
Removing spent media from regrind boxes
Protecting Critical Infrastructure and Industrial Facilities
With its safe non-destructive digging method, our DryVac ensures that critical infrastructure remains operating while excavation work is taking place. This avoids loss of facility production time while at the same time ensuring that the infrastructure is not damaged.
Oil, gas and ore processing facilities
Substations and switchyards
Pump and compressor stations, gas networks
Airports
Solar and wind farms
Maintaining Rail Infrastructure
With its rotating 10’’ suction tube, our DryVac removes rail ballast very efficiently and quickly, thus reducing any track shutdown time. The use of the remote-controlled suction arm and tube ensures minimal physical strain is placed on the operator. By not using water we avoid the risk of wash-outs under rail tracks.
Fouled ballast removal / replacement
Rail sleeper removal / replacement
Signal and points maintenance
Test and investigative work
Working in Areas with Restricted Site Access
Removing materials from areas with restricted access is challenging, time consuming and increases health and safety risks. Our DryVac with its extension tubes and hoses enables this work to be performed efficiently, thus reducing health and safety risks and construction costs.

By choosing our DryVac services, you ensure safety, efficiency, eco-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness for your excavation projects.
Eco-Friendly
High-Pressure Air:
Using high-pressure air instead of water protects plant root systems and ensures excavated materials can be reused for backfill, reducing landfill and disposal costs.
Root Systems:
Prevents damage to root systems.
Re-use Materials:
Excavated materials can be reused, reducing landfill.
Water Conservation:
No water waste during excavation.
Cross-Contamination:
Avoids cross-contamination from the movement of materials.
Contaminated Materials:
Safe handling of contaminated materials.
Economic Benefits
Cost Savings:
Our DryVac vacuum excavation services efficiently move large amounts of materials, providing substantial cost savings and project opportunities.
Reduced Labour and Plant Costs:
Less people, plant, and time equals less cost.
Reuse Excavated Materials:
Reduces costs by reusing materials.
No Insurance Claims:
Avoid injuries or utility damage, eliminating insurance claims.
Operator Safety
Fully Remote-Controlled Operation:
Ensures safe and fatigue-free excavation, eliminating the risk of service strikes and worker injuries while significantly reducing the physical effort required from operators.
Fatigue-Free Productivity:
Minimizes the risk of harm to the operator.
Confined Space Entries:
No need for confined space entries.
Service Strikes:
Eliminates the impact on workers from service strikes.
Infrastructure Safety
Protect Existing Infrastructure:
Perform excavation work without damaging existing infrastructure, preventing substantial direct repair costs and larger indirect economic impacts such as claims from affected businesses and reputational loss.
Safe Excavation:
Around existing underground cables and pipes, within switchyards and pumping stations, and exposing gas pipelines.
Internet and Communications Cables:
Avoid damage to any internet and communications cables.
Productivity
Maximize Efficiency:
Excavating inside shoring boxes avoids costly and time-consuming over-excavation and reinstatement costs.
Single Tool Efficiency:
Use a single tool for many tasks, reducing the number of plants and people on site.
Site Footprint:
Avoid damage to any internet and communications cables.
Over-Excavation:
Eliminates over-excavation, saving time and costs.
