Coversion Course
Perform Hydro Excavation is catered for individuals working in industries where precision excavation is essential, such as construction, utilities, and infrastructure maintenance. Hydro excavation is particularly useful for exposing underground utilities without causing damage, making it ideal for tasks in urban environments or areas with dense underground infrastructure.
Course Description:
The Operate a Hydro Excavation refresher and conversion course is tailored for participants engaged exclusively in hydro excavation, also known as Non-Destructive Digging (NDD), using a Class B gun/lance with a vacuum loading system. It offers refresher training on high-pressure pumps and vacuum systems, emphasizing safe operation, potential hazards, safe work practices, relevant legislation, work permits, and emergency response procedures. Focused solely on NDD, it does not cover washdowns, surface preparation, demolition, or other high-pressure water jetting tasks or vacuum loading operations beyond hydro excavation.
This refresher and conversion course aligns with standards and guidelines, including AS4233.1 2013 Part 1 for High-Pressure Water Jetting Systems Safe Operation and Maintenance, AS4233.2 2013 Part 2 for Construction and Performance, the WSA 02 2014 Gravity Sewerage Code of Australia, WorkSafe QLD Guide for Managing Risks from High-Pressure Water Jetting, and the Code of Practice for Work Near Underground Assets.
