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 the streets of Newcastle as they cause minimal surface disruption for traffic flow, 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 is often the case in Newcastle.

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 city and suburban streets of Newcastle

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. No matter where you are in the Newcastle area — contact us today — our specialist directional drilling team is ready to work with you.

FAQs
Directional Drilling Newcastle

While we can say directional drilling is 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.

The technique of directional drilling is often faster than traditional trenching methods, although the length of time needed for directional drilling depends on a number of factors, including:

  • The distance of the underground drill
  • The geology of the area to be drilled 
  • The diameter of the pipeline.

No. Our directional drilling Newcastle operations 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.
