Close up arial view motorway junction

Primarily designed for installing small-diameter pipes, moling excels in navigating through compressible soils over short distances. Our pipe moling services can effortlessly replace damaged or old pipes, or install new lines in a range of locations and for most ground types.

Pipe bursting rig

Replace deteriorating or obsolete pipes without the need for extensive excavation or the digging of large trenches. Our pipe-bursting services are ideal for both urban and rural Cardiff areas as they cause minimal surface disruption, including traffic, businesses, and the environment. 

Pipe ramming

A fast and effective method for installing large-diameter pipelines over distances up to 100 meters. Our pipe ramming services   are ideal for projects with complex infrastructure, and in congested or sensitive environmental conditions, as may be the case in built-up or suburban Cardiff areas. 

Also known as thrust boring, this type of boring is suitable for installing precise lines and levels in gravity-dependent systems, such as sewers. It’s one of the most rapid, efficient, and cost-effective methods for microtunelling, and is ideal for installing utility and sewer systems.

Our trenchless directional drilling is ideal for the streets and suburbs of Cardiff

Compared to traditional trenching methods, directional drilling requires fewer workers and less time. It minimises the need to excavate large areas, reducing traffic disruptions and maintenance costs. Less material is needed for resurfacing as the footprint is small. The benefits go on and on. 

No project is too large, small, or complex. Contact us today, no matter where you are in the Cardiff area. Our HDD drilling Cardiff team — specialising in horizontal directional drilling (HDD) — is ready to work with you.

FAQs
Directional Drilling Cardiff

While we can say directional drilling Cardiff prices are typically cheaper than traditional trenching methods, it’s difficult to give an exact price without hearing about your situation in more detail. Factors can include:

  • The length of the pipe, cable, or ducts due to be installed
  • The ground conditions 
  • The complexity of the project.


For an exact price, fill out our survey page with your key details and we’ll get back to you ASAP.

No. Our HDD Cardiff operations (horizontal directional drilling) are not bound by Section 58 restrictions. This is often because our work can be delivered on such a small scale that it doesn’t significantly impact the area around it. Directional drilling even reduces the requirement for road closures, and there is no need for restricted working hours.
