GROUND BREAKING RELIABILITY
WHY SMART-DIG
At Smart-Dig we're changing the face of hydro-excavation to help contractors avoid disruption.
Our business is a partnership between Southey's Group and ITSS Engineering - bringing over 50 years of combined experience from mechanical engineering and operating hydro-excavation. Through this we've landed on a fairly simple philosophy - make small improvements that collectively make a big difference on the job.
We put our energy into custom built finely balanced machines that are more efficient, reliable, economical and safer so contractors can work with fewer disruptions.
Our Hydro-excavators are:
-
Designed by operators for operators - machines are designed by experienced hydro-excavtion contracts to meet the specific and unique demands facing operators.
-
Easy to use - units utilise a wireless remote control that allows simple operation from a distance. The boom rotates a full 270 degrees and is power extendable to 9.5 metres. Retractable hose reels and unique safety features make a Smart-Dig hydro-exacator easy and safe.
-
Built to last - Southey's Group, New Zealand's leading hydro-excavation service, tested these machines in the field for more than two years before releasing them to the market.
ABOUT US

Disruption. It's a costly part of construction projects that causes endless frustration to the councils, governments and companies running them. The hydro-excavation industry has been crying out for new tools that increase uptime and accessibility on the job.
At Smart-Dig, we're building a new generation of hydro-excavation technology that enables companies and organisations to lay the foundation for tomorrow's cities, smarter, and faster.
Every Smart-Dig unit is the distillation of three decades of continuous hydro-excavation and mechanical engineering experience. We are continuously looking at every aspect of the technology. From designing our world leading drop-box to maximise airflow, and engineering a hybrid waste water tank to reduce weight and the number of trips to the tip - we challenge conventions and build balanced machines, which dig longer and combine speed, safety, and reliability.

We have used the unit a few times now and the company we are contracted to saw how well it worked compared to other units we had hired and what it being used on site by other contractors. They are now looking at giving us more work.”
