Behind every successful rail upgrade is a lot of work that never makes the headlines.

Using our specialist vacuum excavation trucks, we were able to safely expose existing underground utilities with minimal ground disturbance. This non-destructive excavation method helps reduce the risk of damaging buried services, improves safety on site and allows our team to work with greater precision around live infrastructure.

Projects like this are all about precision, planning, and collaboration. By relocating existing utilities safely and efficiently, we're helping create the space needed for vital infrastructure upgrades while minimising disruption.

Every metre completed is another step towards improving the UK's transport network. 💪

Working in an operational production facility means every movement counts.

On a recent project at Müller, our team combined the precision of our vacuum excavation truck with the versatility of a Brokk fitted with pipe extensions to safely remove material around an intricate network of process pipework, tanks, and equipment.

When services aren't just buried underground but are instead routed throughout a live facility, traditional excavation methods simply aren't an option.

Using vacuum excavation allowed us to work accurately around existing infrastructure, both above ground and under it, reducing the risk of damage while keeping the work area clean and controlled.

It's another example of how the right equipment, combined with experienced operators, helps deliver safe, efficient solutions in even the most challenging environments.

When the problem sits beneath a maze of utilities, precision matters.

This recent project saw our team safely expose and replace a collapsed drain located between 2.5 and 3 metres below ground. At first glance, you can already see the challenge.

The failed drain was buried beneath multiple existing utilities, all of which needed to remain undisturbed while access was gained to the damaged pipe.

Rather than risk conventional excavation in such a congested area, our vacuum excavation team carefully removed material around and beneath the existing services, creating a clean, controlled excavation right down to the collapsed drain.

The result?
✔ Safe exposure of the failed asset.
✔ Existing utilities protected throughout the works.
✔ Reduced risk of utility strikes, delays, and costly repairs.
✔ A safe working area for the repair to be completed.

Every project presents different challenges, but this is a great example of where vacuum excavation is the most practical and safest solution.

Something new is now live at Galvac...

Our new website is now live, with a clearer focus on what we do best: Helping contractors understand what's beneath the surface before construction begins.

From utility verification to trial holes, cable and pipe exposure, service identification and ground investigation, Galvac specialises in the front end of excavation.

Before you build, know what's below.

Our new website brings all of this together, making it easier to understand how Galvac can help reduce uncertainty and give your project confidence before construction.

The Brokk. Small machine. Big capabilities.

The Brokk is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment in our fleet, allowing us to carry out excavation and material removal where larger machinery simply can't reach.

When paired with vacuum excavation, the Brokk becomes an incredibly effective solution for working safely around complex infrastructure. Using specialist pipe extensions, it can break up compacted material while the vacuum unit removes it immediately, keeping excavations clean, controlled, and precise.

From confined industrial environments to congested sites with sensitive services, the Brokk helps our operators access difficult areas without compromising on safety or efficiency.

Why use a Brokk?
✔ Remote-controlled for improved operator safety
✔ Compact enough for restricted access
✔ Ideal for working around sensitive infrastructure
✔ Works seamlessly alongside our vacuum excavation fleet
✔ Reduces manual excavation and site disruption

It's another example of how investing in the right equipment helps us deliver safer, smarter solutions for our customers.

Supporting the future of rail infrastructure. 💪

Our Galvac team has been on site carrying out a water mains diversion as part of a major rail upgrade project.

Before improvements can be made above ground, essential utility infrastructure often needs to be safely identified, diverted, and protected. It's work that requires careful planning, close coordination, and a commitment to getting the job done right.

We're proud to play our part in helping keep critical infrastructure projects moving forward while ensuring existing services remain protected.

Well done to everyone involved. 👏

What's below the surface isn't always what the plans suggest. 👷‍♂️

On this job, our team were chasing electric cables to confirm exactly where they ran before excavation began for a new shaft.

Utility records are a valuable starting point, but they don't always tell the full story. By combining ground penetrating radar with vacuum excavation, we're able to safely expose and verify underground services before major works get underway.

It's a smarter way to reduce risk, avoid costly delays, and keep projects moving safely. ✅

Sometimes the biggest challenge isn't the excavation. It's everything already underground.

Traditional excavation has its place, but when working around multiple utility crossings, ageing assets and increasingly complex networks, there is often very little room for error.

In situations like these, the question can’t be ‘Can we get to the asset?’ It just needs to be gotten to.

By removing material with precision rather than force, contractors can expose buried assets safely, work around congested utility corridors and gain access to the infrastructure that needs repairing.

This recent Galvac project is a perfect example. A collapsed drain sitting 2.5-3 metres below ground was successfully reached beneath multiple existing services, without compromising the surrounding infrastructure.

As underground networks continue to become more congested, choosing the right excavation method is becoming just as important as the repair itself.
