HORIZONTAL Pipe Ramming Solutions

Specialising in horizontal pipe ramming, at EPS Trenchless Installations we can expertly install steel pipework and casing up to 40 inches (1000mm) in diameter and 100 metres long in a single operation. This trenchless technique offers a sustainable alternative to traditional trenching methods, greatly reducing environmental damage. Pipe ramming not only avoids the substantial disruptions of conventional digging, but significantly reduces installation costs.

BENEFITS OF USING PIPE RAMMING

Pipe ramming is a fast and effective method for installing large-diameter pipelines over distances up to 100 metres. It directly targets the installation path, minimising surface disturbance and retaining most spoil within the pipe. This technique results in minimal ground settlement making it one of the most non-intrusive trenchless methods available for working under roads and railways, or in tight spaces where traditional digging isn’t suitable.

HOW HORIZONTAL PIPE RAMMING WORKS

Using pneumatic technology to push pipes into the ground, a ramming tool is attached to the rear of the pipe or casing to be installed. This tool uses compressed air to deliver repetitive blows that push the pipe horizontally through the earth. Once the pipework is installed, compressed air, water jets, or augers are used to remove the spoil from inside the pipe.
