Company overview
VADOSE Group is a Western Australian hydra-vac truck hire business established to support mining, civil and infrastructure projects with well-prepared equipment, clear technical information and direct accountability.
Our launch fleet is centred on the heavy-duty Vacvator HD 8-90 NDD DRY, available for dry and wet hire subject to project requirements and fleet status. The business has been structured to grow: as demand develops, VADOSE intends to add further units while maintaining a disciplined approach to maintenance, records and customer communication.
For clients, that means a practical hire partner focused on suitability, preparation and response — from the first availability discussion through to handover, mobilisation and support.
A leadership grounded in mining
VADOSE Group is led by Managing Director James Mulligan, whose 28-year career spans surface drilling and resources operations across Australia, West Africa and the United States, with experience across gold, lithium, iron ore, oil and gas, and copper. James is supported by Tim Owen, who brings extensive mining experience and plays a key role in HSE and ISO systems, scheduling and fleet utilisation.
Together, their experience brings a practical understanding of production pressures, site requirements and equipment readiness, shaping how VADOSE prepares its fleet, supports clients and builds long-term hire relationships.
