PURCHASING the perfect block of land represents the start of your journey towards building your dream home. However, sometimes laying the foundations of your new build is not so straight forward.

Pesky power poles, gas meters, stormwater drains and more can pose unforeseen problems with the excavation process.

Thankfully, the team at Link Building Systems are experts in hydro excavation in addition to underpinning, renovations, construction of new buildings and insurance repairs.

Hydro excavation, also known as non-destructive digging, uses high-pressure water and vacuum to safely excavate soil, particularly around underground utilities and critical infrastructure. They can locate existing service and utility lines before they bring in their drill rig to dig down to solid ground.

Link Building Systems are able to get into inaccessible areas using this technique, areas that large machinery wouldn’t be able to reach, leaving surrounding areas and even concrete above unscathed.

“With all we have to offer, we aim to be the leading hydro excavation and underpinning experts in the Goulburn Valley within the next five to ten years,” Link Building Systems director, Andy George, said.

For all your building and excavation needs, Link Building Systems are located at 31 Telford Drive, Shepparton and can be contacted on 5821 4516.
