Our impact moling services are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for many underground installation projects. Instead of digging trenches to lay pipes, ducts, and cables, EPS Trenchless Installations apply a technique called moling.
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.
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.

At EPS Trenchless Installations, our dedication to the environment goes beyond just providing efficient and cost-effective solutions. We prioritise environmental sustainability in every aspect of our operations.
Wildlife Reserves, Sanctuaries, and National Parks:
Moling can be employed in wildlife reserves and sanctuaries to install utilities without disturbing critical habitats or endangering protected species.
Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs):
Moling technology can be utilised in SSSIs for infrastructure projects while minimising disruption to sensitive habitats, rare species, and geological features.
Conservation Areas:
Moling may be employed in conservation areas to install or repair underground utilities with minimal disturbance to the natural environment and historic buildings.
CARBON FOOTPRINT:
Our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint is at the forefront of our operations. Our moling services prioritise energy-efficient equipment, minimising emissions associated with transportation and machinery use.
We start with a detailed survey, a site visit, and the use of online technology to check geological information and ground conditions for successful moling
From conception to completion, EPS will work in partnership with you, planning and advising you on the best way to complete your project
From start to finish the drilling process is handled professionally and diligently by our fully qualified engineers
We leave your site clean and clear of all materials and debris, providing an end-to-end service and complete reinstatement and site clearance.

Moling is a non-invasive method employed for the replacement of water pipes, oil lines, gas lines, and under roads, existing structures, congested areas, environmentally sensitive areas, and waterways. By utilising this pneumatic device, it forges a path through the earth for the new piping. This technique is a good option due to its low impact on the surface environment, rendering it an optimal choice for updating lines without significant disturbance.
We provide many trenchless solutions such as directional drilling, guided auger boring, pipe bursting, pipe ramming, small footprint drilling, s50 works, and fire hydra testing.
Impact moling is ideal for softer, cohesive soils such as clay, silt, and peat. Sands and gravels, particularly when compacted, are less ideal, and until recent advancements, solid rock, and large boulders are incompatible with the moling services.
While there may not be numerous indicators suggesting the necessity for moling contractors, the main indication to be aware of is reduced water pressure or flow. This could signal that your water supply pipes require maintenance or replacement. Our moling services employ advanced technology to fix your water supply issues with minimal inconvenience to your daily routine and property.
These are used for straightforward, linear installations. They work by creating a straight tunnel between two points, typically between a launch pit and a reception pit. The operator has no control over the direction once the mole is in motion, making it essential to align the mole accurately at the start.
Steerable moles have the added capability of directional control, allowing for more complex installations that can navigate around obstacles or to a specific location. Our operators can steer the mole by rotating the head in the desired direction, which is particularly useful in situations where a straight path is not possible.
