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.
South London, with its dense urban environment, varied infrastructure, and complex geology, is a prime area for underground moling.
Many areas of South London, especially older parts of the city, require upgrades or new installations of new Water Mains and water systems, and moling is ideal for this. Installing gas mains and electrical cables without digging up roads or pavements can reduce the risks of accidents and service interruptions. As demand for broadband and mobile services increases, moling provides a way to install fibre-optic cables and other telecom utilities with minimal disruption.
The type of soil or rock in South London can vary greatly, and the presence of underground structures (such as old foundations or existing utility lines) can complicate moling. In some cases, it may not be feasible to mole through hard rock or areas with high groundwater.
Even though moling reduces surface disruption, local authorities in South London may still require permits or permissions, especially if the work is near sensitive areas like heritage sites, busy roads, or residential neighbourhoods.
