🥊 Massive congratulations to our sponsored athlete Kirra Ruston, who got the job done last night with a first-round KO against Saundre Simmons. If you blinked, you missed it.

That takes him to 10 and 0, undefeated, with all 10 wins by knockout. Let that sink in. Ten fights, ten knockouts, not a blemish on the record.

At iVac WA, we're proud to back Kirra. Watching a young fighter put in the work and deliver like that makes the decision to get behind him an easy one. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes before anyone steps into the ring, the early mornings, the training, the discipline, and last night it all paid off again.

We love supporting local talent with real drive, and Kirra has it in spades. A perfect 10-0 and still just getting started. We're rapt to be along for the ride.

Onwards and upwards. Congratulations again, Kirra. 👏

When a water main bursts, every minute counts. ⏱️

The call came in at 3:00am, and iVac WA was able to respond right away. Kingvac 3 was deployed out to an emergency job on Murray Street in the Perth CBD for Water Corporation, safely exposing a burst water main so repairs could get underway fast.

This is exactly where non-destructive digging earns its place. In a busy city street packed with underground services, our vacuum excavation gently exposes the main using high-pressure water and suction, with no risk of striking nearby power, comms or gas lines. It is the safe, precise way to get to the problem quickly when there is no time to spare.

A great job by the team getting in, exposing the main and helping Water Corp restore supply.

Emergencies do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Need a rapid, non-destructive emergency call-out anywhere in Perth, day or night? The iVac WA team is ready to roll.

We are proud to share that iVac WA has been featured in the July 2026 issue of Resources Review. 📖

Our article, "Below the surface: How non-destructive digging is reshaping mining productivity and sustainability in WA", takes a look at why NDD has moved from a specialist add-on to standard practice across Tier 1 operations in the Pilbara, Goldfields and Mid West.

A few of the key points we cover:

▪️ On a working mine, power cables, comms lines, dewatering pipelines and tailings infrastructure often sit within metres of each other. A single asset strike can cost hundreds of thousands in lost production before repairs even begin.
▪️ Non-destructive digging removes soil gently using high-pressure water or air and powerful suction, so the strike risk disappears entirely and critical infrastructure stays online.
▪️ The sustainability case is just as strong. Dry vacuum excavation produces reusable spoil that can go straight back to the dig, cutting the carbon footprint of trucking material off-site.

The work happens below the surface, but its impact on productivity, safety and the long-term success of WA mining is anything but invisible.

iVac WA operates one of Western Australia's largest and most advanced vacuum excavation fleets, with mine-spec trucks, Tier 1 inducted operators and licensed controlled waste handling.

Red dirt, blue skies, and the iVac fleet getting the job done at Namuldi. 🤙

Our crews have been up in the Pilbara working hard at the Namuldi mine site, delivering the safe, precise vacuum excavation work our mining clients rely on. There is something pretty special about seeing the iVac trucks out against that classic red dirt backdrop.

Working on remote mining sites like Namuldi takes more than just good equipment. It takes crews who can operate self sufficiently, follow strict site protocols, keep safety front and centre, and represent the business to the highest standard, all while a long way from home. Our teams do exactly that.

A big shout out to Jamie, Donk, Hafiz, and Terry for flying the flag and getting it done up there. Great work team. 🧡

Proud moment for iVac WA.

We recently received some fantastic feedback from one of the senior supervisors at Rio Tinto, praising both of our crews on site at Namuldi. Following instructions to a tee, safety on point, PPE spot on, and work areas set up correctly with proper barricading.

That kind of recognition from a Tier 1 client does not come easy, and it reflects the calibre of the people representing iVac WA out in the field.

A massive shout out to Jamie, Donk, Hafiz, and Terry. You are doing the business up there and setting the standard for what iVac is all about. Quality work, done safely, every single time.

Great work team. 🧡

Pit cleaning and line jetting at Perth Motorplex with Eastside Concrete.

Thomas and the team were onsite this week cleaning pits and jetting lines for Eastside Concrete at one of WA's most iconic venues, the Perth Motorplex.

For a bit of history, the Perth Motorplex opened in December 2000 at Kwinana Beach, built at a cost of around 20 million dollars. It was the first venue in Australia to combine both drag racing and speedway on the one site, replacing the much loved Claremont Speedway that had run since 1927 and the old Ravenswood drag strip. More than 25 years on, it draws over 275,000 patrons a year and hosts major events including the Westernationals, World Series Sprintcars, and the Motorvation car show, along with big name concerts over the years. It has become a genuine WA institution for anyone into motorsport.
Behind a venue that scale is a serious amount of infrastructure that needs to be kept in top condition.

That is where we come in. Our team handled pit cleaning and high pressure line jetting, clearing out built up sediment and debris to keep the drainage and pit systems flowing properly.

Why does this work matter? Pits and drainage lines gradually fill with sediment, silt, and debris over time. Left unchecked, that build up leads to blockages, poor drainage, and potential flooding, which is the last thing a busy venue needs heading into the wet season. Regular pit cleaning and jetting keeps everything operating as designed and prevents small issues from becoming expensive problems.

Great work from Thomas and the team, and a pleasure to support Eastside Concrete at such a well known WA venue.

Emergency response for Water Corporation. Rhino and Aidan getting them clear access to a burst water main.

When a water main bursts, every minute counts. Water Corp needed fast, safe access to a leaking pipe so their crew could clamp it and stop the flow. Our team was on site in the Mudvac truck to make that happen.

Here is where non-destructive digging really proves its worth. The burst main was surrounded by tree roots and rapidly filling with leaking water, making access difficult and risky using traditional methods. Digging around a live, pressurised water pipe with mechanical equipment is asking for trouble. One wrong move and you turn a burst pipe into a much bigger problem.

Using the Mudvac, our team carefully vacuumed around the tree roots and sucked up the leaking water as it pooled, exposing the main cleanly and giving the Water Corp crew clear, safe access to clamp the leak. No damage to the pipe, no damage to surrounding services, and no delay in getting the repair done.

The feedback from Water Corp was brilliant. Making their job easier and getting them to the problem quickly is exactly what we are here for.

The Mudvac is purpose built for jobs like this. With its powerful liquid ring pump and 10,000 litre capacity, it handles water, mud, and slurry with ease, making it the perfect truck for wet, messy emergency work.

Great effort from Rhino and Aidan getting the job done fast and safe.

K200 controlled waste removal for Alba Oil, handled the right way from collection to disposal.

Andy was onsite this week in the KingVac 11000, removing K200 controlled waste from Alba Oil and transporting it for proper disposal at C-Wise.

So what is K200? Under Western Australia's Environmental Protection (Controlled Waste) Regulations 2004, controlled wastes are assigned specific codes for tracking and disposal. The K category covers oils and oily wastes, with K200 relating to waste oil and oily water mixtures. These materials cannot simply be tipped or sent to landfill. They have to be collected, transported, and disposed of by licensed carriers through the controlled waste tracking system, ensuring full traceability from the moment the waste leaves site to its final destination.

This is where iVac WA's controlled waste capabilities come in. We are licensed to handle and dispose of controlled waste across Western Australia, giving our clients confidence that their waste is being managed safely, legally, and in line with strict environmental regulations.

Here is how the process works. Our vacuum trucks extract the waste efficiently and contain it onboard in sealed tanks. Every load is documented through the controlled waste tracking system, which records the waste type, quantity, carrier, and disposal facility. The waste is then transported to a licensed facility, in this case C-Wise, where it is processed and disposed of appropriately. At no point is there any risk of the material being mishandled or ending up where it should not.

For businesses generating controlled waste, partnering with a licensed carrier is not optional. It is a legal requirement, and getting it wrong carries serious environmental and compliance consequences. iVac WA takes that responsibility off your hands entirely.

The KingVac 11000 is ideal for jobs like this, combining strong vacuum power with the tank capacity to handle large volumes in a single run.

Great work from Andy keeping it safe and compliant from start to finish.

Keeping the site clean, safe and moving: liquid waste removal in action

Our team Andy and Ryan were recently on site again with Edge Construction, handling liquid waste removal during piling works on a busy Scarborough development.

Here's something that often gets overlooked on a construction site: drilling and bored piling generates a serious amount of wet spoil and slurry. As the rig bores down through sandy, water-logged ground, that material has to go somewhere.

And it's not just a housekeeping issue. If that slurry isn't cleared away quickly, it can slump back into the open bore and need re-drilling, build up around the rig and tooling, and turn the working platform soft and unstable. All of that slows the piling crew down and costs time. Clearing it as you go keeps the rig working in clean, firm ground and the whole operation moving.

That's where we come in. Using our KingVac vacuum unit, the team safely removes the liquid waste and slurry straight from the pile, clears it from the work zone, and carts it away for correct disposal. No mess left behind, and a clean, stable pad for the construction crew to keep working.

It's a great example of how vacuum trucks do far more than dig. On projects like this they keep the whole operation flowing, letting the piling rig do its job while we handle everything it leaves behind.

Great work Andy and Ryan, and thanks to the team at Edge Construction.

Our team Andy and Ryan were recently out at The Dunes in Scarborough, working with GMF on a job that shows exactly why NDD has become the go-to method for working around buried services.

The challenge: a septic pipe that needed to be held firmly in place. The fix involved installing sheets of steel to stop the pipe shifting out of position over time. But getting safe access to that pipe is where things get interesting.

So what is NDD? Non-Destructive Digging uses a powerful combination of pressurised water (or air) to break up the ground, paired with high-powered vacuum suction to lift the spoil away. Unlike a traditional excavator or backhoe, there's no metal blade biting blindly into the soil. That means the surrounding pipes, cables and services stay completely intact while we expose exactly what we need to.

For a job like this, that matters. Disturb or crack the wrong service near a septic line and a straightforward task quickly becomes an expensive, messy one. NDD lets us work with precision, right up against the pipe, then set the steel in place with confidence.

The muscle behind the job was our KingVac 11000, one of the hardest-working trucks in our fleet. Its suction capacity and water pressure make light work of WA's tough, sandy and clay-heavy ground.

Great work Andy and Ryan, and thanks to the GMF team.

Got underground services that need to be located, exposed or worked around safely? NDD is almost always the smarter first move.
