Ready Group is backing the NSW trenchless industry with a range of critical services like non-destructive digging and liquid waste management.
Even the largest infrastructure projects are dependent upon the effective execution of many different ancillary works. In an economy where regulation is strict and manpower and material is costly, asset owners want to ensure that every link in this chain of services is rock solid.
And that’s why the NSW trenchless industry turns to Ready Group.
With a deep suite of services and an appetite for growth, Ready Group has been supporting trenchless projects with a careful and experienced hand since 2011.
Originally started as a small family-owned business under the name Readyvac, the business has charted an impressive course of growth throughout its lifespan. In 2023, Readyvac acquired Non-Destructive Excavations Australia (NDEA), further solidifying its position in the non-destructive digging (NDD) industry.
With an expanded customer base under its belt, the business embraced a bold new identity, rebranding as Ready Group to reflect its evolution and future ambitions. Fast forward to 2025 and Ready Group boasts the largest fleet of VTI (Vac Truck Industries) vehicles in Australia and has garnered a reputation in the industry as an efficient and dependable contractor.
The business’ core capabilities include vacuum excavation, liquid waste management, jetting and drain cleaning and civil services. With the recent expansion to include in-house street sweepers and water carts, the company now offers a more comprehensive range of services to meet client needs.
When it comes to vacuum excavation, Ready Group can provide NDD, limited access excavation, site dewatering and 24/7 emergency response for efficient wet and dry material removal.
“Our vacuum trucks deliver safe, precise excavation using advanced water blasting and vacuum techniques,” Ready Group Managing Director Matthew Spaninks told Trenchless Australasia.
“With a versatile fleet ranging from 6000–10,000L units, we have the right truck for every job, from tight urban spaces to large-scale excavation projects.”
The company’s expansive fleet of vacuum trucks feature powerful suction systems, high-volume tanks and flexible hoses designed for optimal reach and efficiency. This ensures seamless excavation and waste transport, keeping construction and infrastructure projects running smoothly.
Sourcing its vacuum trucks from a single reputable source like VTI means that Ready Group understands its equipment through and through.
“Having a close relationship with VTI means that we can deliver consistent and high-quality performance for our clients,” Spaninks said.
“This eliminates uncertainties associated with using machines from multiple manufacturers. We understand the high standard of work our vacuum trucks can deliver, know how to best apply them, and have the capability to service the fleet in-house.
“All of this translates to greater efficiency for our clients.”
Operating out of a constantly developing area like Sydney, Ready Group is no stranger to working with Tier 1 and 2 contractors – often repeat customers – on major infrastructure projects.
In fact, the company is currently providing a range of services in support of a nationally significant tunnel project in Sydney.
“Our scope of work primarily involves NDD and waste management. We clean out large filtration systems which collect waste, and also help to clear excess water and waste out of the tunnel as it is being constructed,” Spaninks said.
“We also provide street sweeping services to keep the dust levels down, which helps to minimise the project’s impact on the community.
“As we look to the future, we are committed to embracing new technologies and integrating them into our operations to enhance our service offering. By continuously pursuing opportunities for diversification and expansion, we ensure we stay ahead of industry needs.”
And while the suite of services is broad, it’s the business’ willingness to go the extra mile that keeps customers coming back.
“Our operations team is really good at shuffling the deck to make sure we always show up for our customers, even on very short notice,” Spaninks said.
“We’ve proven over the years that we don’t let our clients down – that we’re reliable.
“So now when we say we’re going to do something, our clients know that they can trust us to deliver every time.”
