HYDRO-PRO CENTRAL PROVIDES SOLUTIONS FOR
SAFE NON-DESTRUCTIVE HYDRO EXCAVATION

Hydro excavation allows us to dig with precision, without causing harm to surrounding services and infrastructure.

 

Our advanced technology ensures a safe and efficient excavation process. Our large 7000L trucks use a hydraulic deep vacuum and are commonly used for hydro-excavation, hydro-trenching and underground utility potholing. This deep vacuum unit allows for extension works as far as 90 meters away. Our smaller 3000L truck is classed for contaminated works only and is commonly used on projects in partnership with Drain Vision.

 

Hydro-Pro Central is locally owned and operated from Wanaka by Alex de Kort and Cole Lucas. Alex’s background is in underground service locating and machinery operation, while Cole currently directs Drain Vision (CCTV pipe inspection) and Pipe Medic South (pipe relining).

 

The combined experience of Alex and Cole provide the Wanaka, Central Otago, Queenstown Lakes and also the Southland region with high quality subsurface solutions.

.

"Alex de Kort and business partner Cole Lucas founded a successful domestic and commercial drain specialist company in Central Otago, servicing the Queenstown, Wanaka, Alexandra, and Cromwell area. With this company already well established, they made the decision to expand into hydro excavation providing services such as underground utility potholing, water blasting and silt removal. They founded Hydro-pro Central in Central Otago in order to expand their capabilities in the drainage industry with high quality subsurface solutions. Now with a new business on their hands, they needed the right specialist equipment to run it with."
