TAILORED TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY

With our cutting-edge trenchless technology, we can tailor our techniques to meet your project needs. Our specialist directional drilling and moling contractors will advise you on the best way to complete your project — no matter how large, small, or complex.

Directional drilling

Directional drilling, also known as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), is a technique that allows for the installation of underground utilities along a predetermined bore path — without the need for traditional open-cut excavation. HDD typically involves drilling a borehole underground at a horizontal angle to navigate obstacles or sensitive areas with minimal disturbance.

Moling

Moling is a trenchless technology method that involves using a pneumatic hammering tool to create a horizontal bore to install underground utilities. This is typically used for small-diameter pipework projects without the need for extensive excavation.

Pipe Bursting

Pipe bursting is a way of easily replacing old or damaged underground pipelines while avoiding traditional excavation methods. This process involves breaking apart the existing pipe while simultaneously pulling through a new one in its place.
