Trenchless technology provides an environmental and cost-effective solution to your underground project.
Impact Moling is a way of installing new pipes, cables and ducts under the ground without the need to dig continuous trenches. Pits are dug in the ground and the mole is placed inside to tunnel between them.
The mole tunnels through the earth, from the first pit through to the destination pit leaving a narrow tunnel large enough for the required utility to be pulled through. The mole is a steel pneumatic cylinder 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.
Underground utility moling is an important and efficient method for managing utility installations and upgrades in urban environments like London.
If you need to replace a watermains at your property, save time and money by taking advantage of trenchless technology to install your new Watermains pipe.
Our state-of-the-art Moling equipment will bore a new and accurate channel for a new water pipe work to be installed, without the need to dig up large areas of gardens and driveways.
This means the new watermain pipe can be installed efficiently with minimal disruption to you and your property.
Replacing a Watermains begins at the stop tap located at the boundary of your property and continues up to the connection inside your house.
Replacing the entire length of the connection pipe provides a single water supply replacement that is seamless. Therefore, it is far less prone to splits, cracks and leaks and has no risk of lead contamination.
North London has a variety of infrastructure needs due to its mix of residential, commercial, and historical areas. Moling is particularly useful in places like:
With its high-density residential areas, narrow streets, and older infrastructure, moling is a preferred method for utility replacement or installation to minimise disruption.
In areas where older water mains or gas pipes need upgrading, especially in regions with narrow or difficult-to-access streets, trenchless methods like moling are commonly employed.
Both boroughs have a combination of urban and suburban areas, where moling can be used for extending utilities in residential streets or connecting new developments to the existing infrastructure network.
This borough has seen significant development in recent years, and moling helps install utilities without causing damage to the urban landscape.
In North London, moling is commonly used for upgrading or replacing aging water mains in urban environments, where traditional digging would be more disruptive. EPS Trenchless Installations use moling for installing new water, gas or electricity service connections, especially when the utility needs to be routed beneath roads or residential properties. The expansion of broadband networks in urban areas like North London often relies on moling for quick and efficient underground cable installation.
