Directional drilling is an environmentally friendly solution for underground installations. By minimising the need for extensive digging and trenching, this technique reduces disruption to natural habitats and ecosystems. Our directional drilling contractors can avoid disturbing environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands, rivers, and forests. This preference for directional drilling in projects is due to its reduced environmental footprint. Before carrying out any drilling, a comprehensive environmental impact study is performed to assess the potential implications on areas of special interest:
Damaging or cutting tree roots can threaten tree health and stability, potentially resulting in decline or even death. HDD drilling provides a non-invasive approach and a fully planned, precise path that can avoid the roots. This effectively reduces the risk of root damage in these specialised zones.
This type of conservation area provides a specialist approach, and directional drilling provides the ability to accurately determine subterranean trajectories, allowing successful installation without affecting the ground cover, damaging tree roots, or disturbing habitats.
Our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint is at the forefront of our operations. Traditional excavation often involves extensive earth removal and high fuel usage due to heavy equipment. However, our turnkey techniques use less machinery and provide minimal disruption to the environment, reducing our environmental impact.

Protected areas are rife with unique ecosystems, rare species, geological formations, or habitats, and they are often protected by law. With the use of trenchless technology, a non-invasive approach is applied, ensuring the protection of special conservation interests.

Directional vs Horizontal Drilling Directional and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) are related but distinct methods used for controlling the trajectory of boreholes. These are both trenchless techniques employed when installing underground utilities whereby a pilot borehole is drilled along a pre-planned route. The bore is then enlarged and

At EPS Trenchless Installations we want to make the whole pipework installation process smooth sailing for our customers — from start to finish — so we offer an end-to-end service for handling Section 50 licence applications for public highway works.
Our service to you includes obtaining from the relevant highway authority their application form, submitting the paperwork on your behalf and monitoring your application progress. We will also keep you informed every step of the way right through to obtaining licence approval.
By overseeing the application process for a Section 50 street works licence, with minimal input required from our customers, we can save you precious time and remove the administrative burden of applying yourself. This can be especially beneficial if approval is needed within a strict timeframe or if multiple works across diverse sites are needed.
If your work takes place on private land, you won’t require a licence.
Our service fee applies, plus along with disbursements from the council, which is confirmed by email before going forward. Call for more information.
When using horizontal directional drilling, this technique involves drilling a pilot borehole along a predetermined path. The bore is then enlarged following the path set by the pilot bore and the product pipe or casing is pulled through behind this. HDD drilling also uses remote sensing and measurement while drilling (MWD) technology to ensure an accurate borehole trajectory.
HDD horizontal directional drilling has a range of useful applications, including utility installations for power, water, gas, and telecommunications networks. HDD drilling allows for more precise directional control at a non-vertical angle than many other trenchless methods, making it better for underground installations that require a specific pipeline path.
