Trenchless technology provides an environmental and cost-effective solution to your underground project.
EPS Trenchless Installations advocates this revolutionary approach, offering a range of innovative solutions that remove the need for disruptive excavations. By leveraging state-of-the-art techniques such as Moling and Directional Drilling, EPS Trenchless Installations delivers efficient and cost-effective alternatives for laying and repairing underground utilities.
Impact Moling is a way of installing new pipes, cables and ducts under the ground without the need to dig continuous trenches. Instead, pits are dug at intervals in the ground and the mole is lowered inside.
The mole then tunnels through the earth, from the first pit through to the destination pit leaving a clear narrow tunnel large enough for the required utility to be pulled through.
The mole in reality is a steel pneumatic cylinder, with compressed air that hammers through the soil creating a bore hole for the new pipe to be laid. This massively reduces installation time, disturbance to the surface and the cost.
Originally designed for installing small-diameter pipes, Moling excels in navigating through compressible soils over short distances. Our Moling services effortlessly replace damaged or old pipes or install new lines, electric cables, gas pipes and ducting.
Moling is used for;
Moling is employable in a range of locations. It is an incredibly versatile and non-invasive method for use in environmentally sensitive areas such as SSSIs, and under roads, existing structures, congested areas, railways, waterways, and much more.

Brentwood is a town located in Essex, and is part Greater London, situated approximately 20 miles northeast of Central London. It is known for its blend of suburban living, historical charm, and modern amenities. Brentwood has a population of around 60,000 people. Its proximity to London has made it an attractive location for commuters, and it has a mix of families, retired, and professionals.
Over the years, Brentwood has developed as a commuter town due to its excellent transport links to London. The town is served by Brentwood railway station, which offers direct trains to London Liverpool Street in about 30-40 minutes. The town is connected by road with the A12 running nearby, providing access to London and other parts of Essex. Over the past few years, Brentwood has seen significant housing and commercial developments to accommodate its growing population and economic growth. There are also plans for future infrastructure improvements, making the town even more attractive to those seeking a balance between suburban life and access to London.
Brentwood is not known for heavy manufacturing, but it does have some light industry. Small-scale manufacturing businesses can be found in and around the town, particularly in sectors such as engineering, electronics, and fabrication. These industries tend to be small or medium-sized enterprises that supply services to local and regional markets.
The financial services sector, including accounting and insurance, has a significant presence in Brentwood. The town is home to various law firms, financial advisory services, and wealth management companies. Many professionals from Brentwood also commute to London for work, adding to the town’s economic base. Many businesses in Brentwood are involved in business consulting, HR services, and marketing. These companies benefit from the town’s proximity to London and cater to a range of industries.
Ground conditions play a crucial role in determining the feasibility, cost, and technique for directional drilling projects. In the case of Brentwood, the ground conditions will generally depend on local geology, soil types, and underground structures, which influence how easily drilling can be carried out and the necessary equipment or techniques required. The soil in Brentwood has a mix of clay, sand, and silt soils. The presence of clay can sometimes make drilling more challenging because it can be sticky and dense, requiring more force to penetrate. Sandy soils, on the other hand, are typically easier to drill through but can cause instability in the borehole if not handled correctly.
The underlying geology in Brentwood is part of the London Clay Formation and Chalk beds found in the surrounding areas of Essex. This means that in many places, the ground may have a layer of dense, impermeable clay beneath the surface, which can be both a challenge and an advantage for directional drilling. The London Clay is a solid formation but can be difficult to drill through if it has a high moisture content, while the Chalk layer, typically located deeper, can present different drilling challenges due to its hardness.
EPS provide underground utility installation that is fast, efficient and environmentally friendly.
Using Moling and Directional Drilling technology, our streamlined process requires minimal space which avoids unnecessary disruption and inconvenience.
There is no need for extensive surface cutting or digging long trenches. ‘No-dig’ techniques are very adaptable to various soil conditions and protected locations.
This technique provides accurate utility installation, which also protects wildlife and any ecologically sensitive locations. It is an incredibly cost-effective method of replacing old utility systems or installing new utilities.
